the inn was an amazing way to add a quiet authenticity to our visit to kyoto. so peaceful. the architecture and artifacts of the building’s history continued to amaze over our 4 night stay. Ms Tano’s breakfast was one of the best meals of our trip!
I can’t say enough about the house and our lovely host. Our room was a Japanese style one.. charming, spacious with a private garden. The breakfast was 10/10. Will come back for sure and tell our friends about the wonderful place.
It was a charming place in the regular neighborhood and we really enjoy the stay. Japanese breakfast every morning was nice and we also enjoyed wonderful bakery and coffee shop
WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME AT KYOTO, AND A GREAT DEAL HAD TO DO WITH OUR STAY AT TANOYA.
THE PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL, YET SIMPLE. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND THE WARMTH OF OUR HOSTESS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
I WOULD RECOMMEND IT WITHOUT HESITATION.
BOOK YOUR STAY WITH THE WHOLE JAPANESE BREAKFAST, WHICH IS DELICIOUS. COMPLETELY WORTH IT!
