Lodges in Kinki

Shounsai appartement provides bicycles. We enjoyed cycling in Kyoto very much along the narrow streets. We only took public transport to go to the train station. The communication with the lodger was excellent and smooth. Very nice neighbourhood.

Great to experience ttraditional japanese lodgings and baths. Thank you for giving is information on the lion festival.

The house is very clean! Looks exactly same like the photos. The balcony is my favorite. My little sister and I fell in love with this Japanese-style lodge immediately. It’s very cozy!!! My little sister’s dream house now is this one!

I liked pretty much everything, the owners put so much love into everything! It looks like a cozy lodge and there’s some free drinks available and baked goods for 100¥. Also met great people there.

Unique experience , wonderful food and comfortable lodgings

It does what it says on the tin. Clean, comfortable, convenient. Laundry room and kitchen available. Stayed in a private room. Simple bathroom but good shower and nice shampoo, conditioner, shower gel (I actually didn't find anywhere in Japan where I had to use my own!). Excellent value for money: much nicer than Travelodge etc and much cheaper.

I was mostly outside exploring during the day and was there at the lodge only during the night to sleep. It was cozy and i had a good sleep. For a solo traveller, they had all the necessary amenities and i felt good while i was there. I even arrived late to check-in but they sent me the procedure on how to self check-in. Definitely recommended for solo travellers.

Saizenin is a beautiful temple situted slightly away from the main road. The staff was warm and welcoming and the room was big and comfortable. The food being shojin-ryori, was very different. Overall it was a truly unique experience to stay in a temple lodging.

Lovely ryokan styled lodging, choice of public or private baths, great breakfasts
