The machiya we stayed in was amazing. The traditional setting in a very quaint part of town that made a lasting impression. Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Kyoto!

I recommend taking the taxi service the front desk offers. The check in area is close to Kyoto station but It is quite the walk from the check in location to the residence.

The property was absolutely beautiful and all the facilities were exceptional, and exceptionally clean. The wifi was about 30-40mbps down and about 25-30mbps up, so it was fast enough for HD YouTube which was great. The garden was a really nice addition and it was great being so traditional. The keycard system worked well enough and just overall it felt very “plush”.

At first they gave us the wrong cards and we could not get into the property, so I had to run back and get the right cards. This was more of an inconvenience because we had walked around all of Kyoto the whole day, and in fairness to the staff, they were excellent in rectifying the issue quickly and were very professional and forgiving about that. Unfortunately the bath was difficult to use as a non-Japanese speaker, but once figured out it was fine. There was a room down the bottom which was unused during our stay, and I presume it fits beds if you went with more people, but we would have appreciated using it for slightly more privacy. Otherwise, the property was truly fantastic and a great cultural experience for our group of 4 Australians.

The property is stellar the interior and the vacation home is truly an embodiment of Japanese architecture. It is super clean and the amenities are well thought out. We arrived with the house heated and toasty on a winter time. Thank you for the careful care for your guests.

That you have to check in on a different area. We went back at night and had a bit of time finding the actual house. (I think it’s the google maps , it maps 2 houses further .)

Wonderful modern take on a traditional home, AC was a much needed necessity in summer heat! Two bathrooms was great for multiple guestsl, the bath was beautiful, all of the furnishings were perfect.

only complaint was the duvet was too thick for the summer, but honestly it was barely an issue.

The house is very Japan traditional and have beautiful deco. It's also very confortable and have all that our family need. We even have some kimono sets in rooms. Bath set is full of everything.

It's a little bit quiet and we will have to take a taxi to get in to the central. But it's ok with some one who enjoy silence environment.

Very interesting architecture by modernising the old "machiya". It was very spacious and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was big and well provided.

The bedrooms were like under the one big ceiling. It is fun as a family but some people may need a bit more privacy.

Good Kaiseki breakfast Close to Kyoto station and bike rental
