"My wife and I had a wonderful stay for 3 nights during our time in Kyoto. Mr. Yoneda reached out to me several days in advance of our arrival with check-in information along with photos to show clear directions from the train station to the house. He greeted us when we showed up, explained all that we needed to know about the house and ensured that all of our questions were answered. The accommodations in the home had what we were looking for in Kyoto: a traditional Japanese-style townhouse...

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

8/10 Good
"Overall a great stay. Just one serious issue the power scenario in the room was terrible - only 1 USB port could be used at a time (2 total). Type 2 outlet only - so if you are equiped for Tokyo where type 1 seems to prevail you are in big trouble. To boot they even told us only 1 ‘appliance could be used at a time’ this is well below par!!!"

Namba Oriental Hotel

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good
"The laundry room was extremely useful and the vacuum packing machine was a plus. The room was a bit tight but it’s probably because we had 3 beds. Location of the hotel was convenient for food and shopping. The only negative about the location was the noise and sensory overload once you step outside. Overall we were happy."
