The ground floor is a bright, open space with a modern kitchen with dark and stylish furniture. Right next to it is a small Japanese tatami room, where you can lay down a futon or relax while enjoying family life and conversation. The living-room is an open-view to the small garden.
On to the right, you will find a western-style bedroom with a queen-size bed and an elegant antique to sit at and write about your adventures in Japan.
Among these nice aspects, the bathroom is most probably the top-one feature! A big dinosaur mural covers the entirety of one wall. Can you name them all in Japanese?
A big bubble-bath will help you relax after a long day of visiting the city.
The second floor is available for groups of five guests and more. It features another kitchen and washing machine, a restroom with a separated shower, which means no lining up to wash yourself up in the morning! The 2F also includes a sofa bed and two futon sets, as well as a projector for movie nights after long walks in Kyoto!
