Gojo Miyabi Inn is a beautiful, traditional-style townhouse perfectly located near the heart of Kyoto, a few minutes by public transport from Kyoto Station. It’s spacious enough for six people with luggage and offers a peaceful, authentic vibe. Huge thanks to Yumi for her clear instructions, late-hour support, and helpful tips about local events. The house was spotless and full of charm: highly recommended for a comfortable stay in Kyoto!

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our lovely host, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. She even gave us tailored tips for Kyoto based on our travel plans, which made our trip even more special. We also really appreciated how flexible they were with our arrival time — it took a lot of stress out of our travel day. Another big plus: the host speaks English, which made communication super easy and smooth. The beds were incredibly comfortable — despite being on tatami mats, we slept like babies on the futons. The shower was also excellent, with great water pressure and perfect temperature control. The service was outstanding: fresh sheets, clean towels, and the bins were regularly emptied. Everything was spotless and well taken care of. We would definitely come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended! One of the best stays we’ve had in Japan — everything was just perfect.

Very nice location. Very cozy place. Big thanks to the reception girl who did a splendid job that briefed us the house and Kyoto :D

It was a lovely, traditional Japanese place to stay in Kyoto. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the location was convenient, being close to the best ramen restaurant in Kyoto and the train station. Yumi, the owner, and her staff gave us a tour of the house, explaining every detail. They also shared their recommendations for must-visit places during our stay in Kyoto. We absolutely loved this place.

Was a little hard to keep the lower floor warm as there’s only one heater and the kitchen area can get quite cold. We soon figured out to close the living area up and it was more than comfortable after that.

Great location, extremely comfortable beds. Awesome little traditional house with all the creature comforts required for a comfortable stay. Close to plenty of attractions within walking distance.

I am taller and bumped my head a few times inside, the house was built 100 years ago.

We really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere of the house and it provided all the modern amenities. The location was very good as well, close to the train station, subway line and bus stop.

An amazing traditional japanese house with all facilities. Special mention to Yumi and Hana who went above and beyond for any help that was required

Our host Yumi was great and she ensured that our stay was comfortable at most. House was even prettier than pictures. All facilities were new and modern although the house was almost 100 years old. House has one upper floor but we moved one of the futon bed to downstairs to accommodate our friends needs. So no problem at all.

There was nothing to dislike about this property. The stairs were a challenge yes, but they were fine once you got used to them and there was no need to go up and down too often.

We had the best stay here. 2 couples, 3 nights. We were met by the property manager Yumi at an arranged time. She spoke fantastic English and was cheerful and informative. We did a couple of her suggestions including spending the day away from Crowds in a local park. It was most enjoyable. She was also able to tell Is where there several Cherry blossoms in full bloom as they were quite scarce at the time. Thank you Yumi for making our time so enjoyable. This property is everything it says it is and more . Loved it

Loved everything! The house was beautiful and included everything we needed. The host, Yumi, was very welcoming and informative. Perfect location. We would most definitely stay here again.

Everything was honestly wonderful!

We were met by our lovely host who showed us through the house, how to work everything and gave us personalized recommendations in the area. The house itself was incredible, traditional beds on tatami mats with the paper sliding doors and walls, hot showers, beautiful scenery in a stunning setting. It felt fully immersive in the culture and history of Japan, a once in a lifetime experience staying at Gojo Miyabi Inn and I would love to visit again.

To go to the toilette you have to go downstairs, there is no curtain cause the room gets too bright in the early morning

Very traditional Japanese house nice deco

Stayed in August 2023

Being a traditional Japanese house, there was no sofa in the living area, so it was difficult to get comfortable for tv watching. But that wasn’t a huge problem since we were there to experience the area.

The location was great - there was a grocery store, convenience stores, and restaurants all in easy walking distance, plus very close to the metro station. The house is beautiful and it was amazing to stay in a traditional Japanese home. Yumi met us at the house and showed how to use everything, provided wonderful information about the area and clearly loves this house.
