| Our family stayed at this very clean and wonderful house just a few minutes from Kiyomuzu-dera. The bikes that came with it were a great thing. The place to stay was a very quiet, clean, and restful. Away from all the noise of central Kyoto but still close to many attractions. Just a few minute walk to Ichinen, Ninen, and Sannenzaka. A beautiful walk through old Kyoto. I would definately return to this home and Acco was such a gracious host and added some wonderful touches like, fresh flowers in several areas of the home. Wish we could have stayed longer. So much more things to do. Acco was always accessible to us. |

| We had a wonderful time at the Kiyomizu house. My husband and I stayed in this delightful house for 2 weeks. The house is charming, comfortable and on a quiet street near the Kiyomizu Temple. There is a nice outdoor deck for a pleasant breakfast or lunch. There is good access to public transportation. The owners --John and Acco -- are extremely helpful and were very attentive to our needs. We highly recommend the Kiyomizu House. |

| My wife and I stayed here for a week and enjoyed it immensely! Easy access to bus lines, a taxi station, and two bikes made it very convenient. We spent one day riding the bikes around Kyoto and it made for one of our most memorable days in Japan. Plus, wandering around the area and the easy walk back to the house was the best. The house itself is very well maintained and comfortable--we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The owners were very helpful and had a handy collection of maps, brochures, and a travel guide for our use. We highly recommend it! |

Homeowner Response:
We are currently putting together a list of restaurants we recommend and will be glad to arrange reservations and menu assistance for our guests. Most of these restaurants only appear in Japanese guides and magazines.

| Had an excellent week here! My wife, daughter and I were the first people to rent out the house. We found it to be very pleasant and conveniently located. It's attractively decorated, and has a washer and dryer(combined in 1 unit! Allow a lot of time for drying). Our wireless internet access was perfect, and we enjoyed sitting around the dining room table at night viewing (and emailing) our pictures from the day's activities...Owners are very responsive about addressing renters' concerns... As is typical for Japanese houses, the rooms can be cool unless the room heaters are turned on. Also, be aware that the stairs upstairs are steep (not a problem, if you go slowly). But the pleasant environment and easy access to the city make it a great place to stay! |

Homeowner Response:
All Kyoto machiya (townhouses) have these steep stairways, so folks with small children should heed Jon's comments if you're considering staying in a traditional house.
