“Returning here feels right because it's nestled in a real neighborhood, quite near a major temple and some quieter, more intimate ones; also, it is very close to The Philosopher's Walk. With only four rooms, it's a classic lodging house where you share the bath and kitchen, but I found the owner particularly helpful. A genuine place to experience Kyoto.”
