About
一棟まるまる貸切宿 10名様まで Guesthouse Gokurakudo
Guesthouse Gokurakudo offers a rare chance to rent an entire traditional house in the heart of Kyoto. With space for up to 10 guests, it’s a flexible base for families, friends, or small groups who want privacy without giving up social spaces. The interior is marked by nostalgic Japanese design, with wood details, tatami mats, and a calm, homely feel.
The property sits within a 600-metre walk of Kyoto Tower, and Kyoto Station is close enough that a 5-minute walk gets you to the main transport hub. The house is fitted with practical comforts: air conditioning, a washing machine, a kitchen with cookware, a flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi throughout. On the roof, there’s a terrace for relaxing, and guests can rent bicycles to explore the city.
