    The peaceful location near main attractions, just next to the city center, and 5 minutes away from the bus stop and main sights, was ideal for me.

    The hotel was clean based in a traditional style building with very kind staff. Next to a train station, the location was amazing and excellent, near main attractions. Gion district was worth exploring. The restaurant was not very far from the property...

    Friendly owners, helpful with city info and Japanese culture. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Complete range of toiletries provided including hair products and dental supplies. Convenient location near famous temples, restaurants, and bus stop. Offered night tour and lent guidebooks. Stocked fridge with popular Japanese drinks. Thoughtful additions like insect repellent, muscle ache balm, and a flashlight safety alarm.

    Guesthouse Engawa is located in a very quiet area, close to the Gion district, Yasaka Shrine, and main shopping areas. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood with a bus stop nearby that provides easy access to the city center.

    I had the most amazing experience during my stay at the guesthouse! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful, which made me feel instantly at ease. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and rewarding. I appreciated their recommendations for sightseeing and that they even drove me around to see some night attractions. The guesthouse was small and cozy, perfectly located in a quiet street close to everything. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and they provided clean towels and all the necessary toiletries. I also loved the fact that they offered tea, coffee, and fresh juice for guests to enjoy.

    The nearest airport is Osaka Itami Airport, so convenient for a quick getaway. The seating area and private entrance at the holiday home made me feel like a VIP. Guess they don't like night owls.

    Guess I'll have to find somewhere else to stay if I want to party past 10pm.

    Convenient Location 🚆

    This place is situated close to a train station, making it easy to get around. It also feels like a home away from home. We were able to explore the surrounding area easily and even visited a nearby attraction, Hanakagami, which was just a short walk from here.
