The number of guesthouse in Kyoto has increased dramatically in recent
years and this guidebook introduces more than sixty of them. Each
guesthouse has unique characteristics but usually they are more simple
style accommodations than hotels, for example, partly dormitory style with
a shared kitchen or bathroom. However, many people love to stay at a
guesthouse because there is always interaction and communication between
the guest and the staff or other guests. This book will be a good introduction
for readers who wish to experience staying at a guesthouse in Kyoto.
