Where I went to school: 京都市立芸術大学
My work: Kobako Guesthouse
Nice to meet you, I'm Yuki. Guest House Kobako was established in 2008. This building is an old private house built about 100 years ago. It was renovated in 2015. In 2021, I opened a coffee stand next door. We roast single-origin coffee beans ourselves, so you can enjoy baked goods and delicious coffee. The owner cleans the inn and cleans the sheets and towels. We renovate buildings in a way that is as good as possible for the natural environment, and we use natural detergents for washing and cleaning. We currently offer free bicycle and public bath soap sets. We aim to keep the old private house clean and beautiful, and to provide an inn where you can spend time in a way that suits you. Thank you in advance.
