My house is located inside the temple so you will have an perfect experience of the life with Zen(Buddhism). The streets nearby are very clean and the neighborhood is extremely quiet.

Hello everyone, this is Hershey from Kyoto, Japan. I started to be a host in Airbnb since June, 2013 for the reason that I hope more people would know the beauty of Kyoto, which is a fantastic ancient capital of Japan. My houses are all located in Kyoto, all are in a perfect location for you to enjoy the real local life. It is my honor that Hershey's home could highlight your trip in Kyoto and I will do my best to achieve that. I would like to help you arrange your trip, book a restaurant and guide you about the city, so please feel free to send me a message. Welcome you, to my home, to Kyoto. Thank you. Hershey Hi everyone, I'm a young man who was born in the north of China and came to Japan alone to study from high school, and it's been almost 10 years.I have been living in Kyoto since college, so I know everything about the gastronomic scenery here.I've been a host on airbnb since 2014, and we wanted to get to know more people about the charms of the city, so that more people have the opportunity to experience a wonderful life like a local in Kyoto. Previous guests have said that it is truly a luxury that you can live in this city of Kyoto.If it really is, then I am willing to share this luxury with you.Although each of our houses differs in layout and character, their common characteristics are that they are neat and clean and easily accessible: both the comforts of home but beyond the ordinary.We have a professional team that operates every homestay with care. I hope that our house will be your home when you travel in Kyoto, and we also hope that our hardware and software will leave the best memories for your trip to Japan.(Also, the host is a Virgo, so you know the hygiene of the room.) Finally, I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto, a Zen place.
