Location

We are a 30-40 min. bus ride from JR Kyoto Station (20 min. by taxi; Yen 1,800) in what is Kyoto's most popular tourist destination zone (east side). We are located in an old traditional neighborhood a short walk from the world-famous Path of Philosophy and Ginkaku-ji Temple (The Silver Pavilion). There is a beautiful, largely forest-covered walking area next to the B & B, leading right into mysterious and always quiet Mount Yoshida (and on to the Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple culture zone). Yoshidayama is home to well-preserved traditional neighborhoods, and Shinnyodo Temple and Kurodani Temple (both perfect for sunrise or sunset walking).

Area Advantages

Main bus routes, high-speed internet cafes, post offices, and a 24-hr convenience store are just minutes away from the house! Kyoto University is around the corner, so there are all kinds of great restaurants and cafes just out the door. What more could you ask for?

The Rooms

We have three private, traditionally decorated rooms on the second floor of our old traditional Japanese house. The rooms are traditional tatami mat rooms (we do not have any beds, only futon mattresses: comfortable Japanese style). The rooms are private, bright and comfortable. We can comfortably and easily accommodate families or small groups (up to 7 members, maximum)

Facilities & priveledges

WE have a free-access high-speed wireless network in the house. Facilities are shared: there is a small refridgerator, a Western-style toilet and wash basin on the second floor where the guest rooms are (three rooms).. On the 1st floor of the house, we have a changing room and large shower area. There is a small laundrymat a 3-min walk from the house. We have no curfew. You will have your own key, so you can come and go as you like!

Great Value: Yen 5,000/night/person including breakfast, etc.. Singles will be charged a supplement!!!

We provide you with clean bedding, towels and a great breakfast (Brazilian espresso coffee, fruit and yogurt, bagels/eggs). WE ALSO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF VEGETARIANS!!! The nightly rate* at B & B Juno includes: 1) your own copy of the detailed and highly useful Kyoto Visitor's Guide (which has been publishing tourist information about Kyoto in English for 17 years); 2) simple instructions on how to use the bus and find good, inexpensive, real-Japanese restaurants (and the internet cafe) minutes from the front door.

Notes

0) B & B Juno is a family home. We have a 6-year-old daughter. 1) WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DORMITORY STYLE ACCOMMODATION: which means NO ROOM SHARING with other guests not in your group. 2) We can comfortably handle families or small groups of friends (up to 7 people maximum!). 3) We have no curfew: you get your own key and come and go as you like. 4) We are unable to handle credit cards (cash only, YEN, $, etc.).
