Kyoto State Guest House is definitely worth a visit. The entry fee will be 2000 ¥ (1500 ¥ for students) but you’ll receive a guided tour and English Information provided on a Tablet. The tour takes about 90 minutes. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and tries to make you feel very welcome and as a special guest. The State House itself convinces with beautiful Japanese architecture and simplicity. It fills you with peace and harmony. I can only highly recommend a visit there.

The Kyoto State Guest House is a facility to receive foreign dignitaries and distinguished guests from all over the world. Recently it is open to the public to visit on certain days (which the information is on their website or their Twitter). Everything here is top-notch, built by Kyoto top craftsmen demonstrating their tradition skills, attention to details and sensibilities. The tour was very organised and pleasant. You could witness grandeur architecture, landscape, crafted furniture and many other superior artworks. * As of Sept 2018, no advance reservation required for individuals, just proceed to the West Gate for admission.

Extremely nice and well organised visit of about one and a half hour. Very nice architecture by extremely competent craftsmen.

A more modern experience than touring the old castles nearby, the Guest House is a place where it is clear that no expense is spared, from the floors to the walls to the ceilings. The guides were helpful and pointed out details to us like the wood carvings on the bridge roof that we would not have seen otherwise. I loved the variety of colorful koi in the pond. The craftsmanship of modern Japan is on full display here—try visiting if they are open while you are in Kyoto!

I must start by saying that everyone working at the guest house had a great attitude and was very pleasant to interact with. The English tour device was alsoavery well done and easy to understand. My problem with the tour was the subject matter. Most of the tour focused on details of how a particular chair was made or telling where the cloth for a seat came from. It felt a lot like touring a hilton hotel's conference suite and being told about where the furniture came from for an hour. The pond with koi outside were very nice. Total cost per person was 1,500 yen. I might recommend it for free but I definiately wouldn't pay to tour it.
