This is a very special and unique place. Not everyday you get to stay in a 150 year old rykokan. Ono is an attentive host who lives in the room next to the accommodation. Keep in mind you will all be sleeping on the floor in one room and you will need to go outside to find the toilet as with the kitchen/ dining area.

Staying in a traditional house in Kyoto is truly thrilling. It extends your experience in the area to 24 hours. . Mr. Ono was incredibly attentive and helpful to us. He made sure we lacked nothing each day, even leaving umbrellas at the entrance when rain was forecasted.

House well located in the old district of Kyoto (Gion). A large traditional house. Very clean, well-heated, and quiet. For lovers of traditional Japanese houses. You should know that this type of house in terms of noise level is not well insulated and the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen are outside (you have to go out into a small courtyard). But the house has a lot of charm and its owner is very welcoming. You can even try on the beautiful traditional handmade kimono presented at the entrance of the house.

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids - aged 11 & 9) loved our experience of staying in a 150+ year old traditional Kyoto home/machiya (traditional Japanese wooden townhouse). Walking distance from Gion sites and Kiyomizu-dera. We had a large bedroom with traditional tatami floor and comfortable futon bedding, a dining/kitchenette room, bathroom, and a small traditional Japanese garden. It was great to have a more authentic experience than the standard hotels, especially for our children. Clean and comfortable stay!

This is a fantastic window into traditional Japanese living and I cannot recommend it enough. The host was always available to help, provided water and breakfast every day and was very entertaining. Great location and value for money for family of four.

Veada is in an excellent location, a walk to many great restaurants and temples and close to transport. The host is lovely. Everyday he did some kind gesture and had great suggestions. The room, garden and kitchen were gorgeous and cleaned every day. An excellent choice.

The host was very nice and accommodating. The house has "character", being a kyo-machiya. The room with the futons is also fairly large compared to hotel rooms in Kyoto. The location is close to the Miyagawacho district, there is an opportunity to spot maiko on the streets

Lovely host - very friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable and area was a short walk from Gion. Great for those who want to stay traditional style house in a local feel area.

La amabilidad y hospitalidad del anfitrión, cada mañana nos dejaba fruta y pan y siempre estaba muy pendiente de si necesitabamos algo. Los futones muy cómodos y la habitación muy calentita y acogedora

今回は、フランス人の友人と一緒の日本旅行だったので、京都の伝統的な家に宿泊してみようと思い予約しました。 築150年の京都の家に宿泊する機会は、まずないので、日本人の私にとっても、とても貴重な経験でした。 オーナーの小野さんは、画家で、とっても楽しくて、親切な方でした。近所の案内も楽しかったです。朝食も毎日用意してあって、助かりました。
