石塀小路 龍吟(Ishibekoji Ryugin)

十分滿意，就在高台寺門口；往南去清水寺，往北去知恩院南禪寺步行不累，一路皆景。這才是京都

Oh my god it was SO NICE! We got the four semi-double bed room upstairs and it was so large - two separate bedrooms. a nice living and dining room area and then a separate traditional tatami room with low tables for dining or games or just sitting around to talk and spend time with each other. The bathroom suite with the modern jacuzzi deep tub was amazing - it may be the biggest room in the entire place. The overall design is a mix of Scandinavian and Japanese design elements with light blond wood. So zen. My kids were so excited when we got there. The place is situated in the most beautiful neighborhood of Kyoto - it’s a historic preservation district and you have to go through entrances to get into that two or three block radius area. A lot of tourists go there to walk around though they say pictures are discouraged. The hosts were wonderful, lovely and responsive. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Japan and staying there is an experience that stays with you for a long, long time. If I was living in Kyoto I would definitely want to live there.
