I highly recommend Guest House Oumi. The surrounding neighborhood is very quiet and it's a 5 min walk away from Nijo station which is very convenient. Tonii-san, the main operator of the guest house, was incredibly friendly and hospitable towards me and the other guests. I asked to switch beds in one of the rooms I was staying in and he allowed me to do so without hesitation. He also provided an iron and ironing board when I inquired about it. As an added bonus, the breakfast sandwiches were delightful.

とても快適な宿

オーナーがしっかり気を使っていただき、常に清潔で快適に滞在できる空間を作ってくれている。会話も楽しく、朝食のサンドイッチも最高だ。昼間の時間には滞在不可なのはネックで、チェックインが5時なのもちょっと大変だが、それ以上のものがここにはある。次に来た時もまた是非お世話になろうと思う。一押しの宿である。
