Beautiful stay

We absolutely loved our stay in Kyoto! Mr. Tenaka was a wonderful host. Unfortunately our flight was delayed a few hours and we didn’t get to the Vrbo until almost 11PM, but he was there to greet us anyway and show us his beautiful property. He recommended many places for us to visit/eat and was always available for questions. The property was gorgeous and immaculately clean. We would love to stay here again if we’re in Kyoto!

AMAZING stay. Wish we had stayed longer

First off, this property is absolutely gorgeous - it has a very traditional look with excellent modern day ammenities. The level of service and welcomeness that Mr Tanaka and his staff provided was absolutely incredible. They made us feel like VIPs. Mr Tanaka was very communicative and accomodating as my group and I were late getting into Kyoto as we were running behind schedule. When we finally met with Mr Tanaka, he and his staff member were so kind and accomodating, showing us the property and even providing extra perks - food for breakfast and snacks for our stay. When I asked his staff member what the extra cost would be, she simply replied,"service!" Wow. The home is located a little further away from the main sites to tour in Kyoto, but it's so easy to get around using public transportation that the property's location was not, in any way, an issue. There's even an AMAZING ramen shop right around the corner, literally a 3 minute walk. The home has all the amenities you'll need - comfortable beds, ample room to shower (with great water pressure), a toilet both on the ground floor as well as upstairs. There's even a cool traditional tub out on the back patio to bath in. So cool! The kitchen has plenty of space - we cooked breakfast with the food the host supplied us. We enjoyed our stay so much that we wished we had spent more days in Kyoto. I cannot say enough what an absolute gem this home is. Mr Tanaka and his staff made us feel so welcome and at home.

Beautifully Quiet

The hosts were AMAZING they met us at check in to make sure we knew how to turn on things like the air conditioner. They left us some snacks and food for breakfast! It was close to the bus stop so it was easy to get to. Perfect for our large family with enough room for 7 adults. We loved staying here.

Kyoto gem!

Kozo-san was a wonderful, gracious host. He met us at the property and went over everything in detail. He answered emails promptly and even helped get us dinner reservations. The house itself is lovely, comfortable, air-conditioned and blissfully quiet, yet conveniently located. The five of us were quite comfortable, but I would hesitate to try to fit a larger group.

Kozo-san is an excellent host

Kozo-san is an excellent host. When we arrived he walked us through the amenities of the house. The house itself was cozy and spacious enough for the 4 of us. Location wise it is on a quiet road, near many cafes and historical landmarks. It also close to bus and train stations, so seeing the farther away sites was easy and manageable. Thank you, Kozo-san.

kozo inn is a hidden jewel and an authentic japanese ryokan

Our stay in kozo inn with the most hospitable hosts was the highlight of our trip in kyoto. The inn had complimentary snacks and drinks, which we very much appreciate. It was also very clean and had the authentic feel of a japanese inn. We appreciate the complimentary new house slippers and towels. Having both a tatami room with 2 futons and a western room with 2 western beds were very good. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary utensils to be able to prepare and eat breakfasts there. It is within a walking distance to a Fresco and Izumiya Grocery and several other konbinis. There are several bus stops that goes all the way to kyoto station. There are also several restaurants nearby which makes it very convenient to find a place to eat. If we ever go back to Kyoto, we would like to definitely stay here again.

Amazing space for a family

What a great perfect place for a family or group to stay. The host is super friendly and welcomes you into their place and shows you how everything works. The host really made our trip to Kyoto more enjoyable! The house is well equipped and the AC worked which was important for us during the summer heat wave. It is also a 2 min walk from a handy bus stop, a 20 min walk to Kinkakuji and a convenience store is close by. Also an amazing cafe called Latte Art junkies should not be missed. Laundry is on site and clothes are hung outside to dry. If you want to feel like you’re in Japan this is the place. PS the tub in the back is amazing!

立地がよく、歩いて数分で北野天満宮、上七軒に行けて色々散策して観光ができました

立地がよく、歩いて数分で北野天満宮、上七軒に行けて色々散策して観光ができました。祇園と違い混んでいないので、密にならず安心です。また、飲食店やスーパー、コンビニエンスストアが近くにありお昼や夜も困る事もなく便利です。朝の軽食や、ドリンク、お菓子も沢山揃えてくださってお部屋でゆっくり過ごせました。露天風呂もあり、街中で旅行気分が味わえて、京都在住ですが楽しめました。また機会があれば、利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

お部屋の雰囲気が良く、アットホームな感じで、ゆっくりとくつろぐことができました。特に、キッチン、露天風呂、ベッドルームが可愛いデザインで女性はテンション上がります！宿から北野天満宮へは徒歩１０分弱のため、朝一で出かけることができました。紅葉の季節だったこともあり、もみじ苑の観光は朝のお散歩気分で楽しむことができました。朝９時に行ったため、観光客も少なく、ゆっくり見て回ることができました。バス停も近くにあり、京都中心地への移動もスムーズでした。
