I'm in love with Nishijin!”

Nishijin is a quiet place which located far from Kyoto town. Kingyoya guesthouse surrounded by residential district, I found a piece of calm there and my one-day trip @ Nishijin is my favourite day among my 6 days trip in Kansai. I will definitely return to Kyoto and stay at Kingyoya again. Everything is awesome in Kingyoya, however if you stay during Winter, there will be a bit cold which the heater didn't help much but I'm definitely ok on the warm blanket : ) Btw, the breakfast is super awesome which you definitely don't want to miss it <3

We just left Kingyoya today and wish we had booked more time than just 3 nights. What an incredible location--close to everything, on a quiet street--and the building is just beautiful. Our room was large, spotless, and the indoor garden was gorgeous. The two fellows working here were fantastic--just so friendly and helpful. As soon as we arrived we asked about bike rentals and they were arranged almost immediately, the rental place actually dropped them off that same evening. Had no idea this could be done. This was particularly helpful as I had an injury and would've had a hard time getting around without a bike. Wish we could rate this an 11/10 but that's not an option, when we return to Kyoto we'll definitely be staying here.

Amazing Japanese house”

Its a bit far from Gion, a busy location for tourist but I enjoyed the cycling (bike from the host). The room is spacy and full facility. The host is super nice. They have a common bathroom and you must wait for your turn if the house is full of guests. Above all, you stay in a true Japanese traditional house, that really means to me!

三人部屋で私ともう一人が日本人、残る一人は自称17歳の韓国人。少し話したところ、かまってちゃんだとわかったので、見たい動画もあったしイヤホンをして動画に夢中の体で私は距離をおいたけど、もう一人はずっと話しかけられてた。ここ金魚屋は門限がないからしょうがないけど、0時過ぎに帰ってきて、気がついたら2時半なのに部屋の明かりをこうこうとてらされて、荷物を整理してるのか、ビニール袋をガサガサ、整理袋のジッパー開け締めなどの音がずっとしていた。アイマスクしてたけど、途中で私を起こそうとしたのか、私の寝てるベッドの木の部分をノックするみたいにカンカンカンカンと鳴らされたのには辟易した。夜中なので怒鳴るのも自分も嫌だし、我慢した。同室に日本の常識が通じない外国人がいて、その人に何をされても気にならない人向け。

Great atmosphere...”

The host was very friendly and the Totoro room was just what I was looking for. The shared bathroom and shower were a bit inconvenient, but it's not bad if you've experienced group living before. The tatami room was great and I was able to chat with other guests, making it a really good memory. The host also explained the surrounding facilities, which was nice. The only downside is that it's a bit far from the city center. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Kyoto next time. The breakfast was okay, not great. The soundproofing is not very good.
