English-Friendly Stays

Kitchen is kitchenette-level — a cooktop has not been officially confirmed. Guests planning to cook full meals should contact the property in advance. Traditional machiya architecture includes internal stairs — guests with mobility limitations should inquire before booking. Children under 6 are not permitted.

Pet-friendly rooms are on floors 6-8 and are subject to availability — contact the hotel or specify pets when booking to confirm a pet-designated room. The pet fee has two slightly different figures on the official page (approx. ¥14,300-15,730/stay + ¥2,300-2,530/night) — confirm the exact current rate at the time of booking. Cats are not confirmed as accepted — dogs only. WET indoor pool is for guests aged 16 and above. Some suites may include kitchen facilities — confirm at booking if this is needed.

Vegan and halal meals are not available. Guests with allergies should contact the property in advance, as allergy accommodations may be possible. The communal public bath may still have tattoo restrictions, so guests with tattoos should use the private in-room bath if they want to avoid any concern.

Check-in takes place at a separate desk near Kyoto Station — not at the machiya itself. Plan to collect your access information there first before proceeding to the property. Check-in window is 15:00–19:00 only — guests arriving outside this window should arrange in advance. No lift — two-story building with stairs, not suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations. Pet policy is not stated on the official site — contact the operator if this matters for your stay.

Although tattooed guests may use the shared public bath without covering their tattoos, the property may ask guests to avoid busy bathing times or student-group bathing times when possible. Some room types do not have private in-room bathrooms, especially large rooms and “out-bath” rooms, so confirm the exact room type before booking if a private bathroom matters. No elevator — all floors require stairs; not suitable for guests with heavy luggage or mobility limitations. The private sauna requires reservation and may be busy.

The tattoo policy includes a discretionary exception — the hotel may ask guests to leave the bath if their tattoos cause discomfort to other guests. The OMO House room type with a stovetop and cookware for cooking was referenced in property information but was not visible on the main official room page at time of research — confirm kitchen cooking capability when booking if this matters. The pool listed in the hotel facilities has not been confirmed for type, hours, or tattoo policy — contact the hotel if pool access is important to your stay. Dog-friendly rooms require advance booking and may not always be available — confirm pet room availability when booking. Pet fee ¥5,093/night applies per dog. Cats are not permitted.

The waterproof cover sticker (8cm×13cm) is small — only suitable for guests with tattoos that can be FULLY concealed within that patch size. Guests with large, sleeve, or multiple tattoos will not be able to use the communal onsen. No private bath is available as an alternative. Bringing your own larger tattoo cover (Foundation Tape, etc.) may be an option — contact the hotel before arrival to confirm if self-supplied larger covers are permitted. Rooms are reported as small with limited space for large suitcases — store luggage at the front desk if needed. The onsen can be busy during peak times and may require short waits at shower stations.

The tattoo cover-up sticker is 8x10cm (approximately 3x4 inches) — a very small size. This option is only realistic for guests with one or two small tattoos that fit entirely within the sticker. Guests with large tattoos, sleeve tattoos, or multiple tattoos in different body locations will not be able to use the baths. No private bath alternative exists at this property. If bath access is important to your stay and you have significant tattoos, this property is not suitable. Sticker availability and pricing should be confirmed at check-in as policies may vary.

Not all rooms include a private open-air bath — confirm your room type has an outdoor bath at time of booking. An official tattoo policy is not stated on the property's own website — the 'tattoos allowed' listing is from a third-party source. Since all bathing is private, this is not a practical concern, but guests seeking explicit confirmation should contact the property before booking. Luggage storage details were not confirmed — contact the property at TEL: 075-467-9966.

Private open-air bath reservation process, availability, and any additional charge should be confirmed with the property before arrival. Parking availability is not confirmed — contact the property if arriving by car. Dietary restriction accommodation (vegan, halal, allergy) is possible with advance notice but is not guaranteed — contact the property directly before booking.

Noise curfew hours are not explicitly listed — residential area etiquette applies; guests should be considerate of neighbors in the evenings. Stairs to 2nd floor bedrooms — not suitable for guests with mobility limitations. Meal delivery (including Shojin Ryori) must be pre-arranged before arrival — cannot be ordered on the day.
