Host review score
Shirasagi Kyoto (Kyo-Yado Shirasagi) An inn that opened in September 2017. Luxe guest house in a house. On the first floor, there is a bedroom, bath and toilet. There is a kitchen, living and dining room on the second floor. The big window is the view from the second floor. (There is no child fare. There are stairs, so small children are not allowed. Thank you for your understanding.) We have delivery of hot pot set for dinner. The shop is a local fresh fish shop, name is Kinko. It is an old shop established in Meiji period. (Closed on Sundays and national holidays). How about the "You can enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto during the day and enjoy a hot pot at the inn for dinner." plan? The kinds of hot pot change according to the season. Please feel free to contact us.
I do daily maintenance. I will prepare with all my heart. Check-in is done at the shirasagi kyoto. I'll be waiting for you at the shirasagi kyoto. I will give you the key and explain the facilities. If you wish, please experience playing the koto. After that, it will be your own space until check-out. Please enjoy your stay.
The view from the sofa is in front of Higashiyama mountain range. You can also see the three-storied pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple. You can see Mt. Hiei in the left direction. Cherry blossoms in spring, verdure in summer, autumn leaves in autumn and snowy scenery in winter. You can also love birds flying to Kamogawa on a whim. You can also walk to Kiyamachi and Gion area. It's quiet at night. There are 4 convenience stores in 3 minutes' walk. You cannot take a taxi to the entrance of the inn (The road is narrow.). It is a 1 minute walk to Gojo-dori Street which has a lot of traffic. You can catch a taxi on this street.
