The owner is extremely responsive and kind, always ready to help, and the hotel was always spotless. The only downside was the stairs.

The spot, the host’s courtesy, the cleanliness, and behind the property there’s a Toru café that makes an espresso better than many Italian bars—give it a try to believe it. Nothing to complain about.

A very nice Japanese‑style accommodation where the futons were thick and very comfortable on the tatami mats, the rooms are fairly large with plenty of space for all luggage, and the host is extremely kind and helpful. The bathrooms/toilets are cleaned daily, there’s a free‑use washing machine, and a large roof terrace offers a great view. From the rooms you can see a big temple directly. Bus line 5 is a short 3‑minute walk to the city center, and a subway is also close. 7‑11 and Lawson are nearby, and the accommodation has a fridge and kitchen. A nearby sento costs 550 yen; we went there one evening and it was really nice (tattoos are allowed). In the accommodation you have to watch your step on the steep stairs, so go slowly up and down.

The room was quite roomy, with a large window letting in good light, a small table with two chairs, and comfortable beds. The kitchen was spacious and even had ice in the freezer for evening drinks. The whole guesthouse was clean, and the rooftop deck was a terrific bonus. The location was central for walking. Host Kahori was friendly and helpful, and Yoshki, the housekeeper/“assistant host”, was gracious and lovely. The steep stairs might be an issue for some, and the washroom was a long corridor down a flight of stairs… a little iffy in the middle of the night.
