I have no idea for sales point of Bon guesthouse. We are not near by Kyoto station and also Down town area . Just quiet area here. If you want to use the JR pass or more night life is better do not stay here. We are very much convenience area for the life style shops restaurant super market are a lot of choice here and they are cheap for eat to buy many things, only one night is not very good idea to stay here, So please think before you will choice to here. Thank you ..
