Shiki Tofukuji

This is a lovely home. It sleeps 3 singles on futons in one room, and a double in the other room. Both are upstairs. There is a stand-alone toilet upstairs too. Downstairs is the entrance hall, the dining area and the lounge. There is a wet-style shower room and a full basin and separate toilet downstairs as well as a small galley-style kitchen. Also a washer and dryer. There is an urn -style kettle, but no coffee plunger, or tea pot. (Pro tip:There are disposable drip -through filter coffee sachets at all convenience stores) It is literally a 7-10 min walk from Tofukuji station and Tofukuji station is 1 stop from Kyoto main station...all of JR line. Bonus... the Tofukuji temple in a very pleasant 10 min walk away from the house. Worth a visit! Plenty of small family run restaurants and convenience stores in the area.

Nothing

This is the ideal place in Kyoto for a 4 person family wanting to stay in Japanese style home with very comfortable beds. Would stay again.

Shower area a bit difficult to use but adds to the charm.

A lovely traditional Japanese house. Up a quiet street but within easy walking distance of the station and close to bus routes into the centre. It had comfy beds and everything we needed for a few nights as we explored Kyoto, Sagano and Uji.

Not a problem for us, but the stairs are very steep!

Clean, comfortable and cosy and in a good area.

Renovations going on next door but it wasn’t too disruptive. Perhaps some tea, coffee and milk?
