Perfect place for our group of 9. The town is so quiet and clean. Everyone bikes or walks, and the convenience of the markets, restaurants and train station was perfect. Unlike downtown or our next place in Kyoto, this was very peaceful. My kids loved riding the available bikes and having vending machines across the street. I really miss the prolific vending machines of Japan Lol.
Clean towels everyday and an initially stocked fridge was awesome. The host family was super helpful and a joy. Having elderly and the young in our group, the train station pick up was perfect as everyone was tired and had lots of luggage.
The stairs are an issue for those with mobility issues and there is no lounge areas only kitchen chairs or stools so consider that if there are physical issues.
We stayed in a much more expensive place in Kyoto the week after and K family's place was superb by far. Though the other establishment was more cost, we didnt get a stocked fridge, no helpful guide book on how to run everything nor neighborhood suggestions, didnt get daily cleaning or fresh towels the whole week, no train station pickup/dropoff and never had the opportunity to establish a great rapport with the owners as we did with the K Family. We got all this and more with the K Family but at a much more reasonable price.
