resident cat Lily
On the current reservation page and guest reviews, you can see the resident cat “Lily” welcoming guests. In past introductions, there is a mention of coming to the guest room, but this is not guaranteed as an official accommodation condition.
If you don’t like cats or have allergies, please consult the inn in advance. Even if you like cats, keep an eye on Lily when she is resting.
A small Japanese-style inn near Kyoto Station
About a 3-minute walk from Kyoto Station, it is a convenient base for temples and shrines and city sightseeing. In Kyoto’s business introduction, it is listed as a small two-story wooden inn with six rooms in total. It’s located back from the main street, and although it’s right in front of the station, it’s a relatively quiet environment at night.
guest room and breakfast
It is not a large-scale hotel, but an inn that values a homely stay that feels like visiting a relative’s house in Kyoto. There is a guide that allows you to enjoy breakfast in your room. Please check the room and plan you are booking for shared conditions such as bathrooms and toilets, stairs, and curfew.
Distance to Lily that can be currently confirmed
In the current review for my stay in January 2026, there are specific examples of people interacting with Lily and having her face rubbed against hers. Even now, you can expect to interact with people inside the inn, but the information that they will come to the guest room is limited to old introductions, so we will maintain the B rating.
This accommodation is suitable for people
- People who want to choose a Japanese-style inn with a small number of rooms near Kyoto Station
- People who can wait for natural interaction with resident cat
- People who value a homely atmosphere more than new equipment
Things to check before staying
- Please check Lily’s presence and the range of contact you can have when making a reservation.
- Guest-room visits are past information and are not guaranteed.
- Check the rules of small inns, such as shared facilities and curfew, on the reservation page.
