First of all, you must be charmed by the decoration and personality on display at Koke-Musu-inn. The place is alive with character. Then the staff welcomes you with their own charm and the package is complete. I found the care taken to provide a comfortable stay very impressive. The rooms were clean and well-maintained throughout my stay, and the location was great! I was glad to have found an easily accessible stopping point outside of Kyoto city. Much easier to decompress at night. I look forward to my next trip to Japan and hope I’ll get to stay there again.

I love the whole aesthetic and Japanese style, not to mention all the anime! As an Anime lover myself it was so much fun finding all the hidden figurines such as Attack on Titan flying over head or Vegeta protecting me in the bathroom. The staff was amazing and friendly.

鬼滅の部屋に子供二人は大喜びで登ったり色々フィギュアを探し回ったり、ロフト奥の隠し部屋にテンションが上がっていました。 部屋内の2階へのはしごは真っ直ぐタイプで2箇所から登れました。 キッチンや鍋や食器、トイレ、1人用の五右衛門風呂風(身体洗いもその中で)がついていました。 3キロ洗濯乾燥500円のコインランドリーも施設内にあり、夏は嬉しい。乾きがいまいちでしたが、追加乾燥+100円もあり◎(あとから気がつきました…) やはり口コミや施設説明文にもあるように、部屋内も小さな階段や段差が多く子供がふと踏み外してしまい何回かひやっとしました。 細かい作りなのでホコリもたまっていたり、冷蔵庫内のホコリや小さな蚊?みたいなのが死んでいたので、こちらで掃除してから使用しました。 あとDIYなので家具のネジなどもゆるんでいたりでした。 大人2名、小学生生低学年1名、年長1名で、宿泊料19000ほど+消費税+子供分小学生分?2727円+朝食代一人1500×3.ライト朝食1000円で3万程かかりました。 この人数でこの値段だとかなり狭くコスパも△と感じました。 隠れ部屋2階で寝るのは、クーラーしてても、乾燥と暑さでしんどかったです。 あと呼び鈴みたいなのもあれば嬉しかったかな。 でも子供は泊まる+遊び場が一緒になったかんじで喜んでいました。 オーナーさん夫婦?はとても感じのいい方でした。ありがとうございました!

Struttura situata a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione dei treni, facilmente raggiungibile. Ha una fermata dell'autobus 1 minuto dall'albergo. Ci si muove molto facilmente. Il locale è molto caratteristico. La stanza è piccola ma con tutto il necessario. Il letto è sopraelevato rispetto al piano normale. Ma è possibile dormire anche nel piano di sotto con il futon anche matrimoniale, basta chiedere alla proprietaria. Il bagno in camera ha il tutto necessario comprensivo di doccia. Al nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti con il thè di benvenuto e alla nostra partenza siamo stati salutati con thè e dolci. Il personale è molto gentile e parlano inglese. È possibile richiedere anche il servizio si spedizione dei bagagli, la spesa dipende dalla grandezza di esse. Posto consigliato per tutto.
