This house was one of my favorite experiences in Japan.
It as very enjoyable to learn to live like natives and i like the deep bath every night. Living here allowed us to see a side of Japanese culture that is inaccessible from a hotel.
Merci beaucoup !

Very nice to have a Japanese style home in Kyoto. Everyone found their place and read, listened to music or performed their tasks there during breaks. Great trip.
