About this property

Tsukinowacho - Prime location in Gion

Traveling with family or friends and looking for an authentic Japanese stay for up to four guests, just a 3-minute walk from the iconic Yasaka Pagoda? Tsukinowacho is the perfect choice.



This beautifully renovated 60 m² machiya blends traditional charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of one of Kyoto’s most vibrant neighborhoods.



On the ground floor, you will find a comfortable Western-style bedroom with a double bed, as well as a separate toilet and a bathroom equipped with both a shower and a bathtub.



Upstairs, the space opens into a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area leading to a balcony, alongside a traditional Japanese living room. This space can be transformed into a second bedroom with two futons, offering a true Japanese living experience.



Despite its prime location in a lively and highly sought-after area, the house provides a calm and serene atmosphere—allowing you to fully relax after a day of exploring Kyoto.



A unique stay combining location, comfort, and authenticity—ready to be discovered.

Great property, ideally situated in Kyoto

The house was lovely, it was very well appointed with 2 bedrooms. The location is perfect (near the Gion area); the house is quiet but a short walk away from bus stops as well as the Hokan-ji temple and the Ninen Zara path.

Great Location and Professional Coordination

Location was great with easy access to both modern Kyoto and Gion. Hosts were professionals - despite a few hiccups in the booking (likely my own fault) they were easy to get in touch with and happy to help me resolve the issue! Would stay here again!

Very convenient, well appointed and handy to transport. We didn't visit the national park so the mandatory rating is irrelevant. Our only problem was disposing of rubbish - not everything could be sorted into the small bins available so we had no choice but to leave a large rubbish bag. We would certainly stay there again if we're back in Kyoto.
