What a fantastic property. Everything you could want. Located very close to Gion district. The owners were very helpful. The view from the upstairs sitting room were lovely and the deep tub was very welcome after a day exploring Kyoto.

What a great immersive experience to have a little house for our stay in Kyoto, so close to many temples and other areas of interest. The house was cozy and warm in the cold weeks of winter and the large bath and zen garden were a nice touch.

Good place to stay, though a little overpriced. Need a light outside the door as it was dark during winter and hard to find location if arriving after 5pm during winter. Apart from this, super and nice ambience at the property. Timely response to email replies.

The property itself is absolutely beautiful. The small garden that you could see from the tatami room was gorgeous and everything within the home was clean and lovely, great quality.

The area around the property was calm when we went. It has a lovely feel and there are some nice restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Besides that, the ones managing the property were very helpful and kind. There were a few matters where I didn't know how to do something and messaged them and got a reply in a very reasonable time. Very good customer service.

Great stay!

Great \"hotel\". It is a full building separate from the main hotel elsewhere in the city. As such, there is no reception area. Having to call to be let in the first time was the only drawback form an otherwise amazing stay. Having a private house, complete with a soaking bath tub is great. There was little to no foot traffic and as such no noises at night. HIGHLY recommend getting breakfast included. It's vegetarian, but delicious! Housekeeping shows up every other day, depending on length of your stay. Can call the main reception area to ask them to help book reservations for restaurants.

Loved it!

Amazing stay! We loved everything about Nazuna Kyoto. The location was just a few minutes from the subway, in a quiet part of Higashiyama. Super clean, quiet, modern, yet traditional Ryokan style two story townhouse with tatami mats and a beautiful garden. Roomy and charming! Fabulous bathroom and tub! Luxurious toiletries, the softest pajamas, and the beds were so comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it was well equipped and clean. We specially loved the quirky and charming vintage record player with vinyls for our enjoyment. With a cup of matcha prepared for us upon arrival, we felt so welcomed. Would definitely stay again if ever in Kyoto.

We absolutely loved our stay at this traditional Japanese house. Right next door, there was a small temple—go upstairs and look out the window to enjoy the beautiful (small) temple view. The service was exceptional, and the beautiful design gave us a true sense of authentic Japan.
When it comes to breakfast, lunch, or dinner, don’t miss Hitohi Restaurant. It was one of the best culinary experiences of our entire vacation. The chef takes inspiration from cuisines around the world and combines them with modern Japanese cooking, creating something truly unique and memorable.
The location is fantastic, with plenty of excellent restaurants, cafés, and local eateries within walking distance. The house is also conveniently close to public transportation, making it easy to explore Kyoto. From here, you can stroll through the charming streets of Gion, discover traditional tea houses, and visit some of the city’s most beautiful temples and shrines.

Our absolute recommendation.
