Haku House - Gojo

This is a clean, comfortable three-storey licensed house beside the Takase River, about five minutes' walk from Keihan Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, which keeps it both well-connected and quiet. The Takase River is ten seconds from the door and the Kamo River about two minutes, putting you on what is arguably Kyoto's nicest stretch for a riverside walk or cycle. A 24-hour Fresco supermarket is close by for daily needs, and the surrounding streets are the kind people come back for, full of small cafes, local restaurants and shops you wouldn't find on a map. With three bedrooms for up to six, it suits families or groups who want to be central without being in the middle of the crowds.
