Beautiful old home and a wonderful host/hostess. Sitting around the fire drinking tea was a highlight. The fire is open on all side, creating a social place that is personal and meaningful. Food and drinks in homemade ceramics is also a highlight. ##### Aaron Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Chatelet Inn Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Chateleinkyoto.h96281570.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [TSUGU Kyoto Sanjo by THE SHARE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-TSUGU-Kyoto-Sanjo-Hostel.h34432010.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto Shijokarasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-Kyoto-Shijokarasuma.h26586944.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [BJ Family House](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-BJ-Family-House.h2053379.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyotoeki-Horikawadori.h3895687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [AB Hotel Kyoto Shijo Horikawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-AB-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo-Horikawa.h26939332.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [hotel MONday Kyoto Karasuma Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-MONday-Kyoto-Karasuma-Dori.h39192199.Hotel-Information) > > [Kamo-Zen](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kamo-Zen.h27930636.Hotel-Information) > > [Rakuro Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-RAKURO-Kyoto.h22674935.Hotel-Information) > > [Minn Gion](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Minn-Gion.h93523006.Hotel-Information) > > [Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto-Kiyomizu Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sotetsu-Fresa-Inn-Kyoto-Kiyomizu-Gojo.h72300550.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Nozawa Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Gallery-Nozawa-Inn.h22877103.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY Mayu Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mayu-Grace-Hotel-Kyoto.h38225038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villa Soso](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Villa-Soso.h17835424.Hotel-Information) > > [M’s Hotel Kyoto Station Taruya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-KYOTO-STATION-TARUYA.h39605632.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [R Star Hostel Kyoto Japan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-R-STAR-HOSTEL-KYOTO-JAPAN.h21557128.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > > [KABIN Koji](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KABIN-Koji.h27077097.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Daiwa-Royal-Hotel-Grande-Kyoto.h21918553.Hotel-Information)
