I don’t understand why this place got categorised as a hostel. I mean, just look at it. The place was over 100 years old. The facilities and ambiance was excellent. Plain hardcore value for money!
Okay, let’s get serious and talk about the hostel.
The kitchen was all cuteness and had all the utensils to prepare a fab Japanese meal. Spotlessly clean like virtually all Japanese establishment.
Now, the common area was a beauty! All the kyoto travel books that anyone would ever need haha.
For 3 nights, I paid JPY17,820 for the smaller room (corner, 2nd floor). Summer, peak season 😉
Here’s the photo for the larger room on 2nd floor. I forgot the price for this one. Sorry.
Tips
- The stairs were STEEP… NOT toddler safe at all if you have one the rooms upstairs.
- There only 1 large room on the ground floor. It could fit 4?
- 4 rooms upstairs
- Wifi was free and the signal was strong 😀
- Bicycles were available for rental. I forgot the price; sorry.
- Any luggage larger than a carry-on will make your own life difficult (the smaller room).
- Smoking was strictly forbidden. The hostel and the neighbours were all wooden houses…
