Spacious house with a cute garden (can be viewed from bathtub) Decoration/style is mix of modern and traditional Japanese, perfect for travellers Having a swing chair Very-well equipped, kitchen/washer, etc. ideal for short and long stay 2 toilets and the toilet downstairs can be accessed/locked from both sides (great for large party) Quiet residential area but walking distance to main train station and subway

Futon can be a bit too hard for those who are not used to it, but there are extra ones in the closet. Would be nice if there are more pillows.

This house was really nice and had a great layout. The bath was nice and the little garden you could see from the dining area was cool. Good location if you don't mind walking a little to get back to the main area.

The pillows were a bit stiff and the futons were harder than others I've used.

Just go here. Book the machiya. Words cannot describe how amazing it is. We regret being unable to stay for 2 nights because of our itinerary. Next time we will arrange our schedule to stay longer. If I could rate this higher than 10 I would.

The location of the house was good, between the main train station and the center of Kyoto. It is a 20min walk to the main attractions of Kyoto. The house has a sufficient size. During the winter time heating via the air condition is provided and sufficient for most rooms. However, it was very cold in the bathroom. The key collection was at the Rinn hotel near the station, which makes for an extra stop before reaching the house. Some restaurants are close by.

Unfortunately, the check-in time is late (3pm) and the check-out time early (10am). If you want to use 3 bedrooms when travelling with friends/ colleagues you have to ask for an extra bedding and tatami mat to be prepared against a charge.

Personal was extremely friendly and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻 Location was good and the appartment was hella vibey

A few doors were very low so everyone hit their head and the living room wasn‘t that comfortable but still very ok

The house was so cute for the family's and the kids said this was one of the best places to stay! The communication prior to arrival via email was awesome and the level of customer service from the team was fantastic... it was all too easy and felt like a dream. Many thanks for a great stay and for contacting us to return an item left behind at reception.

Nice to have a bit more space to stretch out in than a hotel room. being in a renovated machiya was very charming. Location very convenient for the station or downtown (~15 minute walk each way) laundry machine very handy.

Rooms have very low sound and light isolation because of the roots in an older building, so hopefully your group will go to bed at the same time. Watch your head if you’re taller than 5’10”!

A whole house to ourselves. the property was very new and kept superbly clean. Loved the lovely Japanese-style interior with full on tatami and futons down to the cozy living area. bathroom came with a tub to soak away the fatigue from a long day of travelling. Location was great - could have walked to Kyoto station though we did not try. Metro station Gojo was a 10min stroll away. We are a family of 4 adults and we’re very comfortable and impressed with our stay here.

Nothing! Everything was perfect.

A beautifully appointed house with a mix of old and new. The tatami aroma and the zen garden made me feel instantly relaxed coming from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. A tranquil gem!

It'd be nice if there was a USB power point for the overseas travellers :) we asked the Rinn reception for a portable one but they didn't have one for hire at the time.

Great place, traditional architecture, amazing natural hot spring water, great traditional food which you could ask to change due to dietary restrictions at extra charge. If you don't have a car, ask the information desk at the main station so they can send you a free ride to their hotel.

I was 100% satisfied, though I wished the check out time was a bit later so we can enjoy a leisurely morning.
