Ichiensou Guesthouse in Kyoto
(http://www.ichiensou.com/)
When visiting Kyoto on a budget or looking for a taste of local hospitality, Ichiensou is one of the most favored among foreign travellers. This homey little guesthouse is conveniently located in the central area of Kyoto, very close to the Gion subway station. This quiet and comfortable place is being managed by the very versatile Yashi san. Aside from making sure you feel comfortable in his house, he can also bring you out at night to check out Kyoto's local fare. Local tours around Kyoto can also be arranged with pleasure. Room rates are of course very affordable. When visiting Kyoto, do contact Yashi of Ichiensou for your stay to be relaxing and memorable.
