Tucked down an unassuming side street in central Kyoto, Uronza is a real hidden gem. As we walked from the subway to the guest house, I was having a hard time imagining a traditional Japanese house in the midst of the city. However, once we turned down the back streets and started walking past dinky little boutiques and eateries, things... More

One of the best places i have ever been! The house is very clean and charming. The garden is beautiful and the rooms were comfortable and with characters. The price was very cheap.

It's excellent value for money - we paid as little as 2,200 yen per night each for our tatami-style room. Shower and toilet are shared as usual in this kind of accommodation,... More
