I can’t say enough good things about this stay! Firstly, this exceptional stay is 100% down to the most kind and welcoming hosts. The couple who run this inn have helped us the whole time during our stay and been the most accommodating, I’m very grateful to have found this place. The room itself is very cosy and clean. The location is very central, everything was within 15mins walk or bus. Would recommend packing light as there are only stairs, but the hosts very kindly helped us with our luggage.

Excellent, kind, and helpful host. Emiko and her family had great English and the inn was very welcoming and comfortable. I was even driven to Kyoto station once my stay was complete which was a great help. Excellent value for money and a ideal location to see many nearby temples and shrines. Lots of nature sightseeing opportunities close by as well. I highly recommend a stay at Kyo-Anthu Inn!
