Hi I’m a host of Kitano as called Minnie and was born and raised in Kyoto. Since 2014, I have hosted over 500 groups on Airbnb and always keep in mind to make all guests fun in Kyoto. On the views of reviews, my property Kitano is highly favored by the guests who want to experience traditional Japanese dwelling, prefer to stay as being local residents and spend the time quietly and slowly. If any apply, Kitano could be a good choice for you.
