Owners were warm and friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel at home, and even cut us fruits to eat when we go back from a long day of exploring Kyoto. Very central location yet quiet enough away from the main street.

Excellent, kind, and helpful host. Emiko and her family had great English and the inn was very welcoming and comfortable. I was even driven to Kyoto station once my stay was complete which was a great help. Excellent value for money and a ideal location to see many nearby temples and shrines. Lots of nature sightseeing opportunities close by as well. I highly recommend a stay at Kyo-Anthu Inn!
