An oasis of calm close to the heart of Kyoto

Gion is a fascinating part of Kyoto, but with quite some tourism hustle and bustle these days - Onoan was a perfect and calm space to return to. The kind loan of the bikes meant we also had easy access to the other great locations such as Imperial Palace and Botanical Gardens. This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto - thank you so much to our great hosts (and very friendly staff).

We loved our stay at the little house. The house had so much character and very comfortable to stay in. We loved the bath looking out to the courtyard garden. Very convenient location, I would love to come back again.

The only way to stay in Kyoto - authentic, comfortable and easy.

We would give this property & host 6 stars if possible. Everything about the stay was outstanding. The host even helped us choose the best way to arrive from Osaka, not to mention the daily assistance/recommendations for food, sites, experiences. The property is quaint, with all the comforts of a modern home, but with so much more class. Easily fit our family of 5 with plenty of privacy. Simple access to public transportation and so close to many of the greatest Kyoto temple/old town destinations. Wonderful and would happily stay again. Thank you Masaru!
