Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is KOU and I run KOU Nishijin. I am a mother of two children. I was a backpacker when I was single. I want to travel a lot with my kids because childhood is very short and precious. Not much hotels allow me to stay with small kids. KOU Nishijin is located in a residential area where the history of the Nishijin is alive. This inn is recommended for those who have visited Kyoto two or three times and want to stay in a quieter place with beloved one. To operate this inn, many people under welfare are involved. Your stay will contribute to the local community and create employment for those people. プロフィールをご覧頂きありがとうございます。KOU西陣を運営しているKOUと申します。2児の母です。独身の頃はバックパッカーでした。子供と沢山旅行がしたい！子供時代にしか経験できない思い出をたくさん作ってあげたいという思いから宿の運営に関わらせていただくようになりました。 KOU西陣は西陣エリアの歴史が息づく住宅地の中にあります。2回、3回と京都を訪れ、もう少し静かな場所に滞在したい方や家族連れにおすすめの宿です。毎年この場所に戻ってくる。そんな場所にしていただけたら嬉しいです。 この宿の運営には福祉関係者も多く携わっており、ご宿泊頂く事で、地域貢献や障害者への雇用創出となります。
