My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Kyoto Knot Vacation House. It is a traditional Japanese-style home with Tatami flooring and super comfortable futons for sleeping. Before going to Japan, we thought all accommodations would be very small; however, after arriving in Kyoto, we were pleasantly surprised by the large size and great comfort of this house. The place is exactly the way it looks in the pictures, with a large kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed, a huge shower room and all the amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, razors, facial cleanser, lotion, etc, as well as a separate room for toilet (Japanese style with heated toilet seat). It was incredible how much thought the host had put into planning everything for our stay at their house. We had absolutely everything we needed! The second floor of the house is also very large and roomy, with incredibly comfortable futons (Japanese style mattresses) where we slept like babies. There is also a western style living room with a couch (that folds out into a bed) and tv.The house was very quiet during our stay and we were super comfortable for the entire 4 days we spent there. The location is also great, as it is very close (about 10-12 minute walk) to the main Kyoto station (for Shinkansen, subway, and buses). Also, there is a bus stop right outside the house, which made it very convenient for us to get around.We highly recommend this house!
