Located just a short walk from the World Heritage Site Nijo Castle, nestled in an alley that lets you experience Kyoto firsthand, and offering a spacious Kyoto townhouse, Guesthouse 'KAKURE' is created for those who love Kyoto and seek more than just a trip but a deep Kyoto experience.

Though not situated in a bustling downtown area, it is only a minute's walk to the World Heritage Site Nijo Castle. Positioned in an alley that offers a genuine feel of Kyoto, a glance outside the house might make you feel as if you've stepped back in time, thanks to the traditional alleyway view and the classic tsuboniwa (small courtyard garden). A short walk brings you to Nijo Castle.

Our wish is for you to experience Kyoto firsthand. This is the heartfelt concept behind our guesthouse.

The first floor features a living room, a small kitchen, toilet, bath, and a tsuboniwa. On the second floor, there are a Japanese-style bedroom with tatami mats and a bedroom with beds. It is spacious enough for four guests to stay comfortably. If you are staying with small children, setting up futons in the Japanese-style room is also possible.

We invite you and your family to enjoy Kyoto to the fullest.

Located very close to Nijo Castle, there are plenty of options nearby including supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, and local food.
