Kou’s official website is now open

Kou is a private house rented as a whole, about 12 minutes on foot from Kyoto Station, in the Kikuhama neighbourhood spreading along the Takase River. One group per day, with room for up to seven guests.

“Step out to a good town. Come home to a good stay.” — through this site we hope to share what makes the Gojo and Kikuhama neighbourhood around Kou worth knowing, and what makes Kou itself worth staying in.

What you will find on the site

• “To Cultivate” — the thinking behind the house, gathered as our concept
• Photographs of the rooms and their furnishings
• The way here from Kyoto Station, and access
• A guide to the town within walking distance
• Frequently asked questions
• Reservations

Available in six languages

Besides Japanese, the site can be read in English, Chinese, Korean, German and French. We have prepared the same content in each language so that guests from overseas can read it in their own words.
