Kyoto G

Experience the charm of Kyoto through Kyoto G — where cultures meet in a peaceful riverside retreat. Nestled beside the serene Takase River, our cozy homes offer a perfect balance of tranquility and city convenience. Wake up to the gentle sound of flowing water and step outside into a charming neighborhood that feels like a hidden gem in the heart of Kyoto. Take a scenic 15-minute stroll along the Kamo River to reach the bustling Kawaramachi shopping street, full of boutiques, cafes, and nightlife. Or head the other way for a pleasant walk to Kyoto Station, where shops, restaurants, and transit options await. Whether you're exploring the city's historic sights or simply relaxing by the water, Gojo Paradiso Homes offer a warm, walkable base for your Kyoto adventure.

Kyoto G started as a simple gaijin house, a home a way from home for foreigners here in the lovely area of Central Kyoto. At the beginning we slept in a Ryokan (Japanese inn) in this quiet neighborhood, using the Sento (public bath like onsen but in the city), and now… even with coffee shops, restaurants, Ryokans, backpackers this area is still as quiet as it was 20 years ago. As for us: we manage our 7 houses, do what we love, stay among travelers, and feel the freedom of travel at home. Thank you all for the letters of appreciation that help to keep us motivated. I hope and believe you all will continue to get the most out of us; it is a privilege to have the means to be generous and helpful to others. As travelers for the past 20 years, we try to give others what we think makes the difference when traveling abroad: a HOME rather than a guest house.

Looking for some vibrant night life? Check out Gion district, where you can spot Geisha in training and experience amazing architecture and history. There are so many temples, shrines and gardens to be discovered and Gojo Paradiso is in the center of it all! Go by foot, rent a bike, or take the subway; there are many ways to get around Kyoto and we can help you with anything you need.
