Mama & Papa are the kindest hosts ever! They made the trip in Japan so much worthwhile! It is one of the best hostels I've stayed in mostly because of Mama & Papa! They really make you feel at home, and you get to experience the whole Japanese culture :)). Lovely! Definitely recommend and will for sure stay with them again when I'm in Kyoto! Cheers to you both 😃

My best choice that I take this guest house during my travel! Mama and Papa were super nice and all the things in this house was totally Japanese (also very clean and comfortable!!). I’ll come here again when I travel in Kyoto next time ♡

Very good host, warms the heart of the tired traveler. It is a warm experience to chat with friends at night. The host asked me which one is better, "Empresses in the Palace" or "Joy of Life". I laughed to death. Who will recommend it to me next time?

Mama and Baba are both extremely enthusiastic. When Mama takes the initiative to introduce and chat, she will also tell you that if you feel lonely, you can talk to her. In the evening, Mama's daughter has a birthday, and everyone will drink and chat together. The breakfast is extremely rich, and we can eat the only fruit in Japan. Baba will also hand-make postcards for each guest. In a word, it is really great~

I really like this place. I mingled with Mana Baba just a few minutes after I arrived. The only thing I don’t like about Japan is that it’s too quiet and doesn’t talk. But when I get here, it’s like I’m at home. I can open up the conversation box and chat. Dad likes to adjust the atmosphere. They grow tea for us to drink, and my mother makes a very rich breakfast. Unlike other places, we like to sit in the living room and chat as soon as we get home after playing outside for a day. We like it very much. I will stay here again when I come to Kyoto in the future.
