The Playroom — slide & bouldering
Temple-hopping can bore little travelers.
So we made the inn itself the destination.
Rated 5.0 on Airbnb, this 91 m² house was built by parents of a small child to remove every worry of traveling in Japan with kids — and to make them beg to stay one more night.
A bouldering wall crafted by GRAVO, a Japanese maker specializing in monkey bars, a slide that flows straight into the living room, swings and hanging rings — all over 1.5 cm safety mats, all indoors. From the sofa, you can watch every ascent with a coffee in hand.
Play equipment until 10 pm, under parental supervision
A forest-themed kids' bedroom with a locomotive bunk bed (adult size), a grand drawing board and camping games. At night, the room fills with a starry sky. Beneath the stairs hides a little princess room arranged by our daughter. "Goodnight" becomes the moment they look forward to most.
The little travelers are asleep in the forest. Now the evening belongs to you.
A traditional tatami room wrapped in soft indirect light, with two hotel-grade semi-double beds — not sofa beds, not futons on a hard floor. Waterproof sheets for co-sleeping infants, and a crib on request. Pour a coffee from the hand grinder, stretch out, and actually rest.
Mid-trip laundry, solved overnight. Pack half as much for your two weeks in Japan.
Three-burner stove, rice cooker and a water server — for baby food or a market-fresh Kyoto dinner.
A coffee maker and a hand grinder. Grind, pour, and enjoy the quiet.
Movie night after bedtime, or cartoons over breakfast. Kids' chairs at the ready.
A quiet writing desk in the tatami room, when work follows you to Kyoto.
A safe, residential Kyoto neighborhood away from the crowds — 91 m², all yours.
Illustrative map — positions and distances are simplified.
Bamboo grove and the monkey park — straight down the Sagano Line.
Bowing deer and the Great Buddha, an easy day trip from Kyoto Station.
The aquarium, the castle and street food — back before bedtime.
