About this house rental
"Uan" is a charming cluster of 5 houses surrounding a quiet courtyard. This is one of the newly renovated modern traditional houses, "Uan/Hoshi". The house was built more than 100 years ago and recently renovated for a vacation home. The house still has an old atmosphere of Kyoto and provides the latest furnishings. It is fully furnished and all necessary appliances will be provided.
The Hoshi (星) House is a two-story house of 50 m2 and fully renovated in 2018. There is the full kitchen(cookware, dinnerware, seasonings, a microwave, a toaster oven, a rice cooker, a hot water kettle and more), washing machine/dryer, washing detergent, utilities, and home appliances. Of course, fresh bed/bath linen and toothbrush are provided. There are two bedrooms. 1 double bed in the western style bedroom, and 3 futon sets in the tatami room.
Located in 5 minutes walk from Higashiyama station in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto.
The Higashiyama area is considered the most Kyoto like place in Kyoto. If you are interested in temples, the most prestigious Zen temple in Japan called Nanzen-ji is near the house. Also, Heian shrine, Shoren-in, Chion-in and Yasaka shrine are within a 5-10 minute walk from the houses. You can also walk to Gion area to the downtown in Kyoto.

Leading up to our arrival, communication was smooth, prompt, and genuinely friendly. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and received a thoughtful welcome gift, which immediately set the tone for the stay. The house itself was exactly what we hoped for in Kyoto: a traditional atmosphere with modern comfort. It was spotless, well maintained, and felt surprisingly spacious for the city (50 m² over two floors, with two bedrooms). The location in Higashiyama is a real highlight—quiet and charming, yet extremely convenient. The metro (Higashiyama Station) is only a short walk away, and many great sights are within easy walking distance (e.g., Keage Incline, Heian Shrine, Yasaka Shrine / and easy access to Nanzen-ji and the museums in the area). Practical details were excellent too: strong Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and having a washer/dryer made our trip much easier. The kitchen was well equipped (including basics like a microwave and rice cooker), so it’s easy to feel “at home” even for a short stay. Overall, the blend of traditional character, cleanliness, and convenience made our two-night stay extra special. I would absolutely recommend staying here—and we’d happily return.

Host was welcoming, greeted us when we arrived, the place itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything you could need for a stay. Walkable to the main areas of Kyoto but also far enough for some respite from the busy area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. Clean and comfortable and with easy access to tourist sites and public transportation. The kitchen facilities were great and having access to laundry was a big plus. We tried many of the recommendations in the owner's guide book and these recommendations were spot on. Thank you.
