OKI's Inn 沖のまちやど — Hotel in Kyoto

A UNIQUE and wonderful little Inn to stay at in an old interesting suburb of Kyoto, adjoining Gion. Oki's Inn is run by a lovely Japanese couple Taka and Yuka who met when studying in Tasmania! So their English and understanding of travel needs is excellent. The Inn was once a town house and bakery, built in the early 1920's, and is situated in an old shopping arcade, once a thoroughfare for pilgrims in Edo times. During the pandemic, the couple took advantage of quieter times to renovate the INN, adding well designed ensuites to each room. They have carefully preserved the original feel of the old building. Our room, on the ground floor, had a tiny Japanese garden attached. Note there is a small steep staircase to the upper rooms. There is a shared lounge and basic kitchen on the ground floor for guests. We were made very welcome, and highly recommend. You do sleep Japanese style on Futons, but giving up a western bed for a couple of nights here is worth it. Plenty of interesting places are within walking distance, and there are some good restaurants, bakeries, and cafes close by. Reasonably priced guided walks of the area are available from the community office...

We stayed here for three nights during our time in Kyoto and from the very first moment, we felt completely at home. The accommodation was cozy and beautifully arranged but what truly made this stay unforgettable were the two amazing hosts which are Taka and Yuka. They are not only incredibly warm, kind, and loving people, but also remarkably thoughtful and attentive. Their hospitality was above and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced, offering help and making sure we had everything we could possibly need. The whole atmosphere of the place was calm, welcoming, and full of heart. It was the perfect spot to rest, recharge, and feel genuinely cared for. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Out of all the places we visited during our trip, this was without a doubt the most special and meaningful.

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Kyoto that offers not just comfort but also warmth, kindness, and a truly personal touch. We will definitely be...

This is probably the best airbnb/hotel I stayed in Japan. I stayed for 4 nights and absolutely everything was near to perfect. The rooms are very nice, clean, beautiful, traditional and cozy. It has a common area with a kitchen and tables. The location is excellent, since it is a 5 minutes walk to arrive to the central avenue of Kyoto and 2 minutes walk to the nearest station. There are many available options to eat near Oki's. Basically, everything was almost perfect, but the best, was the hosts. They are always taking care of you, giving recommendations, explaining things, lending you things as an umbrella, etc... in my case, they even gave to us a little bag with Japanese candies since we made a good relationship. Please treat them with respect since they are the best host I have known. You won't regret staying at Oki's, it...
