Jonni`s place ( 民泊)a small yet tasteful home at the base of Mt. Hie.
Welcome to Jonni`s Place or your home in Sakamoto. Like to research and stroll /bike around the historic city..
305 year old Soba restaurant 1353 year old shrines local festivals water falls quiet but interesting walks around the village, always something new to see. No need to pay the Kyoto Hotel as we are just outside the border Nice to hear the sound of cool running streams on your way back from a hectic day of sightseeing
