Gekkousou — Hotel in Kyoto

This charming guest house doesn't really have rooms, it has bunks and platforms. Folks from around the world find their way to the Moonlight Guesthouse for a safe place to sleep and to meet folks in the front room where conversations soar, music played, small meals cooked, and books are read. There's no shower or bath at the Moonlight Guesthouse, but here is the Funaoka Onsen, a clean inexpensive bath house. This guesthouse is associated with a guest house in Okinawa... find more about these folks at...
