This is definitely the place to stay in if you want to feel real Japan!
Host was extremely helpful and nice. Rooms and the house itself are in the traditional Japanese style. Materaces on the floor are very comfy, this was my first experience and I liked it. Tables and pillows to sit in yoga style makes you feel like a local.
You have fridge in the room, microwave for your disposal. Self-made breakfast included, which means you can take whatever you find in the kitchen, even if you check-out early.
Special must have is to ask the host prepare bath for you - traditional japanese bath gives you relax after the hard day. Reservation of the slot required when checking-in.
Location nearby is very picturesque. In a small jars near the house there are small colourful fishes. When walking from subway in the evening we met a group of about 15 deers near the river.
24h market is 200m from the house

The place is truly magical and the owner and his son are very friendly and kind people. You can ask them anything, they are always there for you. Also a huge breakfast and drinks always available!

The staff were very attentive, cute old house with tatami mat rooms and great communal kitchen with plenty of free snacks if you're ever hungry! Nice quiet location away from the craziness of central Kyoto in cherry blossom season but still close to a train (Eizan railway).
Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper - between the train just behind the accommodation and the literal paper thin walls between you and the other guests, it was loud at both ends of the day. As with all accommodation like this, toilets and bathroom were downstairs, so only for the able-bodied. Also for English speakers, note that on Google it comes up as Benidaruma - Dango, which is just the name of different room you can book (they all have names, I was in usagi). There is also no English sign, but it's up a driveway at the back next to the post office.

Super friendly owner, great location for visiting Hieizan and Kurama, both trains are really cool (it is worth taking a ride just for the ride). The place has its unique atmosphere, lots of traditional Japanese elements. The room was spacious and the futon comfortable. There is a kitchen with a fridge full of food which can be used for free. The house is old but everything is very clean. I love the bath/ofuro, small but made of wood. Bath and toilets are shared. The train station and a bus stop is less than 5 min. from the house. The owner was very kind and helpful.
The only thing that might be a problem is that the railway is very close, but there are not too many trains, as it is the special line to Kurama and Hieizai.
