The hotel is 1.5 km from Karasuma Station and 50 km from Itami Airport. The property consists of a main building and an annex building, located at the corner of the 'Daily' shop, third building on the left when turning right into the street.

“Staying here feels like settling into a welcoming home, enhanced by the gracious host ready with tea and conversation. Its location proves ideal for those eager to explore Gion and wander along the Kamo-Gawa river, especially enchanting during the sakura season. I think the balance of traditional Japanese style with considerate amenities, like the shared kitchenette, creates a comfortable and authentic experience.”
