None, but please take note that the property is on a small hill slope, so, be prepare to walk a bit uphill daily, and you might want to get some snacks.

The tatami room was nice, they have a common room, fridge and microwave, all good. I am already looking forward to stay here again if I go to Kyoto. Really near Kiyumizu-dera. Owner-san is super nice and cute too, very responsive, no hassle. I also like the bar nearby and the unagi shop. Nice!

Keep in mind, that though the neighbourhood is busy with tourists during the day, it's completely quiet at night. That's of course peace, but you're also pretty far from any action. Additionally, because it's so busy during the day, you should forget about taking the bus with luggage, or just at all. Maybe take the metro and walk, or take a taxi.

Absolutely tremendous host, couldn't have wished for more. Delicious snacks, quiet room, good location.

The placement is absolutely perfect to get to any of the amazing shrines and the owners are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, spoke great English and was incredibly nice and caring, the little picturesque inn is the perfect authentic Japanese experience I wanted to get, highly recommend to anyone that goes to Kyoto!

NA. Perfect stay.

This was by far our favourite accommodation of our three week holiday. The owners of the Inn truly made us feel incredibly welcome. Gave us fantastic suggestions for local coffee, helped us with the luggage company when there was an issue with one of our bags as well as finding a taxi for us while taking our bags up the big hill when leaving. The location is perfectly situated between various landmarks. When I come back to Kyoto I will be coming here again.

I would’ve liked to have hair conditioner in the shower

Great location, near all the beautiful traditional streets, Kiyomizudera and lots of places to look at, shop, eat and rest. The room was very comfortable and all the communal bathroom facilities were very clean and well kept The hosts were so lovely and kind! Very friendly, gave us recommendations of a scenic beautiful route to walk through the area, which we did and the recommendation was amazing!

We loved our stay at Hanakiya! The hosts were so kind and welcoming and brought us cut up fruit on one of the hot days. The location is great, just a few minutes walk from Kiyomizu-dera. The shower and bathrooms are shared but it never felt cramped. We stayed in the annex, which is a two minute walk from the main house. We would definitely stay here again!

I liked everything!

I had a wonderful experience at Hanakiya! The host was fantastic—very friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse's location is perfect, just a few steps away from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and all the charming temples and little shops in Gion. I would definitely return again. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel just like home. Highly recommended!

Comfortable room in a great location. Can't say enough about the host She made great suggestions to "off the beaten track" temples and food options during our stay in Kyoto. She went out of her way to ensure that we had everything that we needed. Even brought us delicious fruit in the evening that hit the spot! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful location very conveniently down the street from Kiyomizu-dera temple, host was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us comfortable, and the facilities were very cozy and clean! A lovely stay at a small ryokan for a great value.

The mini fridge was quite small for sharing with multiple guests

A great location with great walkability of old Kyoto

It's very quiet in there, and you can sometimes hear the door being shut from other rooms.

We loved the location and our host! She was very nice and accommodating, and spoke very good English. She was able to help me make reservations, and gave us free tickets to a shrine. The hotel is small and family owned, but is right in the center of all the good stuff.

I had an amazing experience staying at Hanakiya with my family during our visit to Kyoto. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the main street leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the surrounding scenic areas. The host, who lives nearby, was incredibly responsive and attentive, making sure every aspect of our stay was well taken care of. Staying in a traditional Japanese house provided a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local living environment, adding a unique and memorable touch to our trip. :-)

The location is amazing, the facilities are clean and tidy. The owners are really friendly and helped me get my bag back which was lost by my airline. They even left us an assortment of fruit one night!

A very cozy and warm, family lead accommodation. The owner is super friendly and cheerful. We loved our stay a lot.

The accommodation at Hanakiya was the best we always felt at home when we arrived at the accommodation in the evening. There was always a warm message waiting for us from the hostess, who was very nice and gave us lots of great tips on places to visit and events not to miss on arrival, thanks to her we visited places we hadn't originally planned, that were ultimately the best in Kyoto. She even made us a surprise breakfast one day. The room was simple and traditionally furnished, but absolutely sufficient for a longer stay, there were also common areas, everything was clean and cozy. The accommodation was right by the main sights in a beautiful neighborhood. Absolutely unbeatable for the price offered. We definitely recommend it to everyone and we will remember our stay for a long time. Thank you very much again and we will be happy to come back again sometime.

Had an extremely enjoyable stay! Staff were super friendly and always helped when needed (in addition to providing us with some tasty snacks). Located near several popular bus routes, and located in the old city, meaning famous temples and beautiful streets are only a short walk away.

Such warm and nice host, greatly Helpful. You'll feel like at home. They guided me through everything. Took the tour with them also, which was the highlight of my stay cause I got to cover almost all main attractions and got to know the history of culture behind. Highly recommended.

I prefer a stay with private bathroom, but overall this inn was very clean and quiet.

The futon comforters were so soft and comfy! The staff was extremely kind and friendly. This location is incredible, right next to Kiyomizudera and within walking distance of Gion.

just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of a popular tourist area, this spot is perfect for various types of travellers. It is traditional and simple with a wonderfully caring and friendly host. The Japanese flooring and bed is a great way to experience the country and this is exceptional value for money.

The hosts were the true gems of this place! They were so kind, took care of our luggage, recommended some nice places to visit.. They even brough Pokemon donuts for us to try! Super kind and sweet people. The place was great, very cute, traditional, clean and close to soooo many temples in Kyoto (walking distance). Definitely recommend!
