"We chose Shiki Homes Aki as our Kyoto base because we like to cook for ourselves and relax in the evening, while still having access to local sights and the public transport system. Shiki Homes Aki provided a well maintained, comfortable base in easy reach of buses and the subway. The Imperial Palace Gardens, the Nishijin textile area and Nijo Castle were all short walks from the house and city buses took us to other shrines, temples and shopping areas. The house has a comfy double bed and lots...

"They really embody the way of the ninja. The area is very quiet and beautiful to walk in at night. Very close to selective landmarks like the imperial palace. Subways are also a short distance away from the hotel."

"Comfortable, quiet, and gave a great traditional vibe that was EXACTLY what we were looking for! The staff were friendly and communicated well, made the whole process easy. When we come back to Japan this company will be the first place we check!"

"I was there for just a little less than a week but out of the 3 hotels i stayed in while in japan this was my personal favorite that fit my needs the most. The room was spacious, (travelled alone) and my favorite parts was propably The fact that i had a bathtub and microwave in the hotel room so i could relax properly and heat up food without having to leave my room in the early morning. The personell was also excellent, some of them were even proficient in english. The location was also great...

"the room was really clean, nice, and quiet, with a cozy interior. would stay again."

"Loved it, felt like a real local. Washer was a plus and included detergent! Fast responses and overall a great stay :) 9.8/10 a little bit dusty specifically the top of air conditioner but hey, it’s an older place, it was expected and part of the vibe. Recommend if you want to stay in a more traditional place hence the name of the place. "

"Place is nice, neat, clean. Beds are really comfortable!! Just keep in mind to do the check in way before you arrive to the place (they'll send you an email with the info) because there's nobody in person to assist you and you have to fill some forms online, including uploading your passport picture. Once you do that, they'll provide you with the codes to enter into the building and room."

"Lovely little ryokan, very traditional and homely. Traditional breakfast was tasty."

"There were two Japanese well maintained gardens and stone paving hallway outside. They were beautiful and they made us feel very historical culture. The summer season in Kyoto is very uncomfortable to stay outside because of the hight temperature but, in this house, for some reason we could stay comfortably without air conditioner. It was a huge house but all the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Especially we were impressed with the bathroom. The high-tech toilets beautiful wooden bath tub made us...

"Super clean room and wonderfully helpful staff. We loved Kyoto and this hotel!"

"Clean and comfortable room, great amenities, very close to the bus stop that takes you right into the city centre. Very quiet area, with a good amount of temples and gardens within easy walking distance. "
