Midway Kyoto & Osaka Train St 5mins

-Access: 2 train stations only 6 & 10 mins on foot, located between Osaka and Kyoto (20-30 mins train ride to each downtown respectively). Public transport is so convenient that we have never owned a car here. -The family: We're a bilingual family (English/Japanese), and we love learning different languages, so we love meeting people from all over the world. Our kids are 13 and 18. We always enjoy helping our guests with recommendations, direction and other issues they may face in Japan. My husband is a photographer in Kyoto and loves literature & languages, so you can ask him for tips about Kyoto. My son loves playing the guitar and of course games. My daugher loves painting and colors. I love food, slow life, cosy family time and nature. -House: Our house is modern, large (about 200 sq. metre / 2100 sq. feet.) & green (runs on solar energy) with a large living, dining room. The house has 2 toilets and 2 bathrooms. -The neighbourhood: There are many traditional style houses, narrow streets, a 1300 year old temple and a shrine. A quiet place to stay and enjoy local life, but Kyoto and Osaka only 20-30 minutes away by train. There are restaurants, supermarkets, and coin laundry near our house. -Experiences: I hold culture classes at home [tea ceremony+calligraphy+kimono], and cooking classes [making sushi+tempura] as part of Airbnb experiences, which you can join at at a lower price than non-homestaying guests. We do not provide dinner, but we offer a light breakfast of toast and coffee.
