Excellent stay (10/2024)

My family and I stayed at this location at the end of October 2024. It was clean, spacious enough for 5 adults, and conveniently located within walking distance of Nishiki Market, which was great. Beds were soft, showers were excellent, toilets of course amazing, would stay again next time we come to Japan. Working with the property manager was very easy and courteous through email in the weeks prior to the visit and was very responsive by email when I had a question about the AC at the location. I had literally no problems and would recommend this location to anyone traveling through.

Perfect house and location

We so loved our stay here. It was a perfect way to start our journey around Japan. The house has the tradition feel of Kyoto but with modern comforts. Although the mattresses were on the harder side (which we’ve come to expect in Japan) we loved our stay here. A great location to position ourselves to walk to all the major attractions. Thanks for having us!

What a lovely machiya. All newly renovated. There were very good instructions how to work the appliances and how to find the machiya. The location was great. You could walk to Pontocho and Gion and other places, the subway is close, plenty of cabs at the end of the block. We would stay again if we can get back to Kyoto!
