Located within 1.2 km of TKP Garden City Kyoto and 1.4 km of Gion Shijo Station, 初音(はつね) provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kyoto. This 4-star homestay offers a lift and luggage storage space. The property is 2 km from the city centre and 1.3 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple. Where to start… This was without exaggeration the best stay we had so far in Japan! The room was excellent, with amazing view and the area was quiet but still walking distance to everything. Kevin was so kind, from before our trip until the very last minute. You can feel the Japanese hospitality the second you get in contact with Kevin. He even offered us a ride to the station with all our heavy luggage’s while he has a busy schedule. We also checked in earlier, our room was ready at 11:00, and we could check out at 12:00. This was luxury to us. We didn’t even ask for it but it was very welcome to say the least since we were a bit sick and jet lagged from our first days in Japan 😊. This whole experience exceeded way beyond our expectations! Wish we stayed longer in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu Hatsune Guesthouse 🙏🏼

The ammenities were amazing, the onsen was so nice and so was the bedroom; the lady running the place was an absolute gem and was so nice to speak with every day. Made it feel like you were returning home to a home stay every night :) The whole room would be cleaned, fresh towels and robes each day with a new snack on the bedside. It was truly luxury.
Great hostel in gion, walking distance to the main area, the hostel is small, quiet and clean.
Great traditional japanese house and great hosts. The family makes you feel like you are home. Super nice and warm people.
Lovely host who was very easy to deal with. All amenities provided and easy to explore Gion from.
Nice place, great host, really nice facilities and the location is pretty solid nearby convenience stores as expected.
Location was excellent! Quiet street so felt like a private residence, but one street away from the busy touristy street.
Lovely authentic Japenese home stay with fantastic hosts. The breakfast was phenomenal each day. Mario even dropped us to the train station.
Everything was just excellent! Starting with the private pick-up by the lovely host Takashi, the instruction round through the appartment, which was totally equipped, it just felt like home. :-) Also the local recommendations were very much appreciated and helpful for our stay.
Very private homestay, intelligently designed in a small space so we could have a kitchen, a private bathroom and a spacious room. The location is very good as well, just in front of a temple. The checkin procedure was flawless. Highly recommended this place !
Lovely staff. Enjoyed my stay here. Really wish my japanese was better than it is because the place seems very cool and popular among locals. Would have loved to meet more locals but my japanese isn't there yet. All around great hostel. Seems very hip
