Roku Roku

Unclaimed

I stayed Roku Roku to visit the shrines, and it was a lovely time. It's in an excellent location, close to the Philosophers' Path and many of the shrines and temples. The double room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The price was good. I should especially call out the proprietor, who puts much effort into what he does and is used to dealing with foreigners who might not understand the protocols. He is very particular and has a system, but he is also very nice and will explain it all to you. When I next stay in Kyoto, I will come back to Roku Roku. Note: when I searched for Roku Roku on Google Maps, it directs you to a small cul-de-sac. That is actually the back of the property. The door is accessed from the south, on the road going up the hill from Shirakawa-dori.

Very accessible to the bus stop, use always bus #7 he said because its route is faster. Place is secured by its own guests through card locks. Free to use his traditional Japanese house 400 meters away with nice Japanese Garden. I love the landlord, Jun Goto for his tenacity in serving his guests. Watch out for the google map location as it will point you to the road behind his building.

Rooms are very large and nice . Clean and has good prices. Not in a very fancy zone of kyoto so it's betternyou dine out before going back . No elevator.

Great price for quality. The guesthouse is incredibly clean and so it the service. You can use the laundry machine for free as well as their bikes (around 5 available). By far my favorite part was the small garden/ traditional living room area. That part is actually on a separate area (7min walk from the guesthouse) but can still be used.
