Stay Inn KOTO

The location was really good, very close to a train that takes you to the main sites. The common areas, kitchen and bathroom were clean, new, spacious and with good vibes. We also appreciated the balcony (also smoking area) in the same floor as the room. The bathroom and kitchen is only shared with another room so it feels more private. The staff were friendly and helpful, they kept our bags for free for 2 weeks :)

The location is excellent, 5 mins away from Keisei Inari and 10 mins from JR Inari stations. From there you can get to Kyoto station in less than 10 mins, so you can use the inn as a home base from where to visit all the Kansai area and beyond! There's a lot of fantastic places to eat nearby, from ramen shops to japanese style burgers. The lodging is great. Sleeping on the tatami floor is comfortable and did wonders for my back. Each room has an AC that can warm up or cool the room really well. There's ACs in the hallway and common areas too. The facilities are great as well. There was a common kitchen on our floor with all the appliances you need. We were able to use it to store and warm up our bento meals in the morning. We stayed on the 3rd floor and only had to share the bathroom and toilet with another room, which wasn't really an issue. The inn has a coin laundry and coin dryer and there's a small balcony on the 3rd floor for smoking and with a small but sufficient drying rack. Overall a fantastic experience. I definitely recommend this place!

The location is perfect if you are wanting to really experience Fushimi Inari Shrine. I recommend staying here so that you can visit at night and early in the morning - it is a completely different experience! The shared spaces were calm and private but with a great sense of community, and the rooms were wonderfully authentic. Bathrooms and kitchen were so clean! The staff went above and beyond to help me, as I had personal emergencies that complicated my booking. I am so very grateful for their calm and kind communication and generosity. Despite them not knowing the details of my problem, they really cheered me up :)

Great location, very close to Fushimi Inari, with 2 train stations that lead to other attractions in Kyoto. During our stay in Kyoto, we spent the 1st and 3rd night here, separated by 1 night since we couldn't book. The guest house is very clean and convenient, every facilities are placed in the main hall so we can use them freely. Even though we did not see our hosts, we could figure everything out my ourselves since instructions are clearly written. We could leave our luggages locked in the shared hall and go outside when our rooms are not ready to check in. The room is spacious, our first time sleeping on tatami and it was quite comfy. The first night we were on the 3rd floor and we shared the toilet and bathroom with only 1 another room. The second night we were on the 4th floor and we shared the toilet and bathroom with 2 others rooms. In general, other guests behave well and the shared spaces are clean, we didn't hear a lot of noise from them either.

- Amazing helpful staff - self check-in available outside of staffed hours (11-19) - easy access both from Fushimi Inari station and Inari station - water dispenser with hot/cold (good-tasting) water available - kitchen with commodities available on multiple floors - cozy hangout area with tatami mat, fun games and good manga corner (in Japanese) - good amounts of outlets in the room - possibility to lock luggage on your own for self pickup later in the day
