This was our first visit to Kyoto. Actually it was our first visit to Japan. The location was fantastic, the house was adorable, and very authentic Japanese, so convenient to have the washer dryer, AC was a godsend in September, everything was so clean and I loved the contemporary style. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese, I would stay here. Also, the bathroom with onset style tub is incredible. Would definitely stay here again.
