Truly unforgettable
A true highlight from my 3 weeks in Japan. A day hasn't gone by where I have thought about my 3 nights in the guesthouse run by Michi and her husband Katsu. Every morning Michi will make you a different breakfast and will check in on any allergens or preferences, if you are lucky with the weather you will be able to sit in their garden which Katsu tends to daily. It is a blissful experience and you will feel welcomed within seconds of talking to them both.
Sitting in their garden, chatting away with Katsu about both our cultures and lifestyles, then before you know you will hear Katsu practice the flute whilst you drink tea with Michi. Both are wonderful human beings and will assist you with whatever you may need or want to see during your time in Kyoto.
If you are lucky enough to potentially stay here in Kyoto - it is a must.

a lovely morning each day at Sakura house!
Staying at Sakura house was the highlight of my Kyoto solo-trip (female traveller). I love that breakfast (and a scrumptious one!) was provided for everyday so that I can start my day feeling energetic and refreshed. I stayed only for 5 nights, but each morning breakfast was slightly different and the variety of breakfast showed Michi's thoughtfulness for her guests. I appreciate how she always include salad and fruits (they can be hard to find in Japan for single portion >< Thanks to the nutritional breakfast I have no problem with my bowel)
Apart from the breakfast, staying with the hosts have been fun! After breakfast I enjoyed live music from my upstairs room (Katsu is practicing flute for his Christmas recital) I'm thankful the hosts are quick to serve and help! There's one day when I decided to run, Katsu drew a map to recommend me a safe, comfortable running route with a nice view!
I felt very well taken care of by Michi and Katsu - they checked in on my food preferences, recommended itineraries and we also have meaningful conversations (both hosts are fluent in English).
On a more practical note, sakura house is located at katsuragawa which is only 2 stations away from Kyoto (very convenient), the house itself is <10 minutes walk to the station. Also there's a giant Aeon mall within the vicinity, and most of the time the mall is empty! Perfect for shopping and chilling.
P.S During my stay, I stayed on the 2nd floor of the 2-story Japan home. There was plenty of privacy as I was the only stayer. Other than my sleeping room, there was a living space, a toilet and a shower. The living space has a pantry (kettle, microwave, fridge), a drying rack, TV, table and chairs for chilling. There's also a balcony but it was too cold in autumn for me to be out at the balcony.
There was nothing that I dislike about the stay. It was clean, convenient, comfortable, safe, and I also enjoyed the companionship of the hosts <3

Fabulous. Highly recommended
Everything was exceptional. The room size was very good compared to the hotel rooms. The room comes with private toilet and bathroom. The Kyoto station is only 2 stops away from a JR station just 8 minutes from the house( your JR pass can be used). The best thing was the amazing hospitality from Michi and Kudzo. They both took good care of me like an aunt and uncle would do. The breakfast in the garden( or inside in a beautiful Japanese setting when it was too hot) , was incredible, abundant and fresh. If you come to Kyoto you have to book at sakura house because it’s unlikelier you’ll find a better place to stay.

Grazie a Mischino e Katsumi per avere reso il mio viaggio a Kyoto davvero speciale, due persone splendide che mi hanno regalato una vera esperienza Giapponese.
La casa è bellissima su 2 piani con un bel giardino dove la mattina si può mangiare le buonissime colazioni che ti preparano.
Mi hanno dato dei preziosi consigli che mi hanno facilitato di molto il mio soggiorno a Kyoto.
La casa si trova fuori zona turistica e per me è un plus ma ha ben 2 stazioni vicino una che conduce in 2 fermate alla stazione di Kyoto e una che porta direttamente a Gion nel centro.
Vicino c'è anche un centro commerciale con negozi ristoranti e atm.
Non ho utilizzato i servizi che mi hanno proposto ma hanno lavanderia e la possibilità di noleggiare il kimono.
Avevo delle alte aspettative ma direi che sono state ampiamente superate.Se vuoi una vera esperienza giapponese questo è il posto giusto.
Grazie Mille

El alojamiento era excelente. Todo lo necesario para hacer tu estancia cómoda. Tienes tu espacio privado. Igualmente el baño.
El jardín es espectacular. Pero la casa se sentía como un hogar. Cuidan mucho los detalles
