Wonderful Experience

We decided to stay in Kyoto to gain a little deeper understanding of daily life and culture. Over our 5 weeks we achieved a little if our goals - it was brilliant - live Japan.The house was in a great location and we loved the neighbourhood.We shall return. The house was very comfirtable. But they need to make people aware of the services with a longer term stay - no cleaning; no linen change, etc. Without a charge. Not good.

Delightful Japanese Home

Hakari is a pleasant, well-appointed, hospitable house in a pleasant, convenient location. We stayed about 10 days, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Unlike other VRBO places we stayed in in Tokyo and Fukuoka, it felt like a home, and not like a dormitory. Near several interesting sites and bus lines, it is convenient to all of Kyoto. If you look around, there are good restaurants (check out Bonasai, in particular), and some less-obvious places worth visiting (Raku Museum, Nishijen Textile Center) as well as the Imperial Palace and Nijo-jio Castle. Enjoy with confidence.

Look VERY Carefully at the Stairs in the Photos

We actually did not stay at the property because when we got there we realized the photo of the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms did not at all accurately depict how steep they are. Yes there is a photo of the stairs, but the stairs themselves were actually more like a ladder. The bamboo railing was very light and flimsy and the stairs themselves were very slippery. In short, it would have simply been difficult for us to sleep upstairs if we planned to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night.When we complained about the safety issue, they ultimately refunded our money.
