Exceeded my expectations! The host Masaru is very easy to correspond with and so very thoughtful in providing information that is useful and convenient for travellers new to the area. The house is lovely and we found the location perfect for us. Highly recommend and hope to return one day.

A wonderful stay
We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay in Kyoto at Unoan. Masaru was so helpful in helping us find dinner reservations and specific shopping locations. He made our stay much more enjoyable than if we had to figure out such things on our own. The house was as described. The main room has tatami mats so you need to sit on the tatami floor while using it. There is a front room with table and chairs if you prefer that for eating meals. The bath and tub are nice to use and you have a view of the private garden while using them.

Perfection in Gion
Compact, authentic, clean, beautiful designed renovation in quiet local Gion. Everything we needed: nothing more, nothing less. Guest manual is excellent. Including a flow chart for meal selection! And better directions to sights than Google!

A traditional Japanese stay
We had a wonderful stay, what a way to immerse yourself into Japanese culture. A family of 6 with 2 people in each tatami mat rooms, the hosts made sure these mats on the floor were extra comfortable with clean soft bedding. We were all so comfortable for sleeping. The Bathroom is amazing, my dream to have a window out to a beautiful little garden while I have a bath. The home was just outside of the main area of Gion but only a 10/15min walk. Access to the home was easy with a code and one day we took the bikes to ride to the temples. Coffee machine was thoughtful and the washer/dryer was extremely helpful with a travelling family of 6. We loved the traditional machiya stay for our time in Kyoto. It was small for a family of 6 from Australia but we made it work comfortably.. we have 3 teenagers and not one complaint!! One day we even came home to a little treat on the table from our hosts. Thank you and I hope to be back again :)

An oasis of calm close to the heart of Kyoto
Gion is a fascinating part of Kyoto, but with quite some tourism hustle and bustle these days - Onoan was a perfect and calm space to return to. The kind loan of the bikes meant we also had easy access to the other great locations such as Imperial Palace and Botanical Gardens. This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto - thank you so much to our great hosts (and very friendly staff).

The only way to stay in Kyoto - authentic, comfortable and easy.
We would give this property & host 6 stars if possible. Everything about the stay was outstanding. The host even helped us choose the best way to arrive from Osaka, not to mention the daily assistance/recommendations for food, sites, experiences. The property is quaint, with all the comforts of a modern home, but with so much more class. Easily fit our family of 5 with plenty of privacy. Simple access to public transportation and so close to many of the greatest Kyoto temple/old town destinations. Wonderful and would happily stay again. Thank you Masaru!

Incredible Townhouse in Kyoto!
The townhouse was excellent! Such a wonderful location and so peaceful inside. We all relaxed as soon as we entered. Masaru has done an amazing job of organization and explanation of amenities within the rental as well as local guides and tips. We all wanted to stay forever. Thank you, thank you.

Beautifully restored old geisha home
We very much enjoyed using this home as our base while exploring Kyōto. Communication with Masaru was seamless and the house lovingly restored. The kitchen was a bit tight which wasn’t a problem since we only had breakfast and snacks there. It would be a bit of a challenge to prepare a full meal, but there are many restaurants nearby and walking distance to subway and bus.

Great Kyoto property near Kiyomizudera
Clean, cute, easy access, easy check in, two bedrooms upstairs with toilet upstairs and downstairs; shower/bath downstairs. Great coffee-maker and hot water pot for tea. Bikes for using! A compact and efficient house that worked perfectly for 4 adults. The host was super responsive and there were maps and tourist pamphlets at the house. Excellent stay! *****5stars
