Guest House Oumi
What Guests Say
The owner and the host who operate “Guest House Oumi” is Tommy san. He is a super warm host who goes the extra mile to make sure guest’s questions, needs are answered and met. He makes a very good egg sandwich for guests to start the day. If you need clothes to be wash and dry, Tommy can provide the service for a small fee (500Yen). He also makes a very good guide book that provide useful info on Kyoto’s attractions and restaurants and cafés around the guest house neighborhood (Nijo/二条) The location of the guest house is quite convenient. It only requires a 3-4min walk to get to Nijo Station. There is a sizeable 100yen shop and a revolving sushi bar restaurant (Kura Sushi) near the guest house and it is a 2 minutes walk.

Tommy was an exceptional and friendly host. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very supportive in assisting us when we transferred our luggage in advance to the guest house. The check in process was smooth and efficient and he had already taken our luggage to our room upstairs when we arrived! Tommy gave us some great recommendations for food and in the morning prepared us breakfast, which was delicious! The location is ideal and minutes away from the nearest JR station. My boyfriend and I spent 3 weeks in Japan and stayed at lots of different places and this is the experience and place that we will remember the most!

Absolutely a 10/10 property. A little far from central areas, but nice and quiet and an easy walk to the JR/Subway station. Very clean, EXCELLENT water pressure in the showers, comfortable beds, and a nice little sitting area for eating or socializing or watching Japanese TV. But (as you’ve read in all the other reviews) Tommy is absolutely the star of the show. One of the most considerate people I’ve ever met, Tommy runs the guesthouse with care and love. He always asks if guests need anything and is quick to help. I truly felt sad to leave and say goodbye!

It was marvelous! The guesthouse itself is a treasure in Kyōto situated in a nice, calm area. They provide you with everything you need and loads of information about Kyōto. Tommy-san is an outstanding, friendly and incredibly helpful person you need to get to know! He has such a positive attitude and is one of the kindest people I ever got to know! Definately will come back!

In a quiet street, the location is really nice. The owner Tommy is incredibly kind! Always makes sure you have everything you need, super helpful. There is a guide in the lounge with spots to see nearby, how to get there etc. The breakfast was really good! I'm a vegetarian and that could be accommodated without a problem. Excellent stay overall.

Tommy (Tomita-san) makes you feel right at home with amazing hospitality. The place is clean, any amenities one may need are available, coffee/tea/water (hot or cold) are available, beds are comfortable. Also nearby Nijo station which connects to Kyoto's metro and train network.

Sleeping in traditional, old house in Kyoto is an experience in itself :). The room I booked was really nice and spacious. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Host is super accommodating, and his morning sandwiches were something from another planet. Looks like they really care about the little details in this hostel. The big tv at the lounge area is definitely a plus, you can play your movies from your phone!
