The Villa Soso

In Shimogyo, Kyoto — a short walk from Kyoto Tower and Kawaramachi Street. This vacation home/villa puts you within about a 15-minute stroll of Sanjusangen-do and minutes from Higashi Honganji, Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle and Kyoto Station — perfect for wandering the old city.

Two air-conditioned rooms with warm, homey décor and garden views. Rooms feature a flat-screen TV with Netflix, laptop-compatible safes, slippers and daily housekeeping. Private bathrooms include separate bathtubs and showers plus bidets for extra comfort.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and a quiet garden to sip morning tea — wake up to garden views. On-site laundry and a safe-deposit box add practical convenience. Staff speak English and keep the place running smoothly.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the villa. Front desk is staffed during limited hours; rooms include laptop-compatible safes.

In-room kitchenettes with refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves, plus coffee/tea makers — handy for self-catered breakfasts and late-night snacks.
