Guest House Locokokoro  

In Kyoto’s Fushimi district, a laid-back guest house a short walk from Fushimi Inari Shrine, Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum and nearby Toji Temple. About 8 km from Kyoto city center, this family-friendly guest house sits where shrine-side strolls meet local neighborhoods.

Housed in a rebuilt Showa-era home that keeps much of its original appearance, Locokokoro feels quiet and slightly nostalgic—like time slowed down. The property has three air-conditioned guestrooms, two shared living rooms (first and second floor), and communal kitchen, bath and toilets for a true local stay.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, a small library, kids’ playrooms, on-site laundry and luggage storage make stays easy. Shared conveniences include coffee and tea in the common area and a microwave—simple comforts after a day exploring the neighborhood.

Prepare meals in the shared/communal kitchen and grab coffee or tea in the common area. While there’s no listed on-site restaurant, you’re steps from Fushimi’s sake shops and local eateries serving regional flavors.
