From the moment we were met by our wonderful host, we felt welcomed and at home. The place is beautiful and clean in a wonderful location. It is close to a train station and walking distance to bars, restaurants, a grocery store and 7/11.

The house was immaculate and clean. Our host was great, explained a lot of things to do in the area, gave recommendations, prepared a hot pot (shabu-shabu) meal for us, and taught a quick lesson on the koto. The house has a huge window that overlooks the river and gives great views of the mountains and eastern Kyoto. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This is a beautiful house! The location is perfect - so close to everything but still so peaceful and quiet as it is on a small street on the river. The view is fantastic. It is very comfortable and stylish and has everything you need. We definitely recommend it and hope to come back soon!

Initial meeting was very informative and the location was excellent. The owner is very thoughtful and friendly with a lot of local info on nearby places and activities. The view from the upper floor was quite nice as well, day or night.

Shirasagi at Kyoto is a beautiful place, conveniently located by the river with easy access to the city centre, market and many sightseeing locations. The house is elegantly decorated, offering a balance between modern and traditional Japanese design, it was spotless clean and provided everything one might need for a short stay in Kyoto. We particularly enjoyed the view of the river from the living room and the full sized Koto instrument that decorated the lobby area. Excellent communication with the hostess who also welcomed us in person on our arrival date.

There was nothing to dislike in this home.

We loved the beautiful atmosphere in this house, it was one of the nicest places we have stayed at in Kyoto. The location is outstanding, close to most things you would require and very close to many attractions that people want to visit. Our host was very kind and helpful. She spent considerable time acquainting us with the amenities and features of the property. She made the experience very positive for us. The property was amazingly clean, and well organized with all things you would need for a comfortable stay. The futons and the western style beds were so comfortable! We truly thank our wonderful host for providing us with this amazing experience. Would recommend highly.

Beautifully designed and cared for, this property suits the needs of travelers who don’t want to stay in a hotel and prefer a place to call their own to relax after a day of visiting Kyoto

Everything was amazing, the whole place was so beautiful. The host met us at the house gave us an extensive tour and also taught us how to play the koto. We feel so well rested after staying at shirasagi we didn’t want to leave. I would stay here again and again!

The host is amazing. She gave us an extremely thorough walkthrough of the home, and gave us great recommendations for Kyoto. She was responsive on WhatsApp and helped us immediately when messaged. Great location and view along the river as well. Would highly recommend, especially when traveling with groups.

Location fantastic

The property was kept so clean that I had to push myself to maintain it clean as well (just kidding😆). I loved everything of this property except the dryer machine was a little hard to use (it was outside, so I had to keep getting in and out to pass the clothes from washing machine to the dryer). But it wouldn’t be a problem as long as you have something like a bucket.

The hospitality from the owner; the design and cleanness of this building; the view and location was also perfect! I was feeling I could stay there for a longer time. The surroundings were so quiet and peaceful.☺️

Shirasagi exceeded all my expectations. The location was great, the rooms were perfect for a family of five, the second floor was cozy and had a nice view of the river, and above all we appreciated the amazing hospitality and assistance by the host (sorry, I didn’t get her name). She offered to help with our luggage - both receiving it when we were on a trip and shipping it to our next destination. Probably the best service I’ve ever had and great communication too.
