«10 min till Kiyomizu-templet» Historisk Kyo Machiya "Shofu-an"

★En tvåvånings Kyoto Machiya med en vacker, liten privat trädgård, fylld av ljus och skugga★

Om faciliteten

Rekommenderas för par och familjer på 2–5 personer.

Vår anläggning är en tvåvånings Machiya.
Bottenvåningen innehåller ett badrum, tvättstuga, tvätt-/torkmaskin, ett litet kök och en matsal.
Övervåningen har ett västerländskt inspirerat rum (två enkelsängar) och ett tatami-rum (plats för maximalt tre futoner).
*Observera att man behöver gå uppför en något brant trappa.
Vi tillhandahåller hårtork, handdukar, schampo och kroppstvål.

"Shofu-an" är en privat enhet i "Miyabi" Kyoto Machiya-serien, belägen i Kiyomizu-området. Den är designad och renoverad av arkitekten Jeffrey P. Moussas, som är baserad i Kyoto. Medan vi värdesätter och bevarar traditionella tekniker som gått i arv genom århundraden, har vi utrustat boendet för moderna behov, inklusive ett modernt badrum/duschrum, tvätt-toalett (washlet), kök och golvvärme. "Balansen mellan det gamla och det nya" är platsens största charm.

【 Premium och fridfullt läge 】
Vårt grannskap erbjuder det bästa av två världar. Shofu-an ligger precis vid foten av världsarvet Kiyomizu-templet. Du kan enkelt njuta av en vacker promenad till Kyotos mest ikoniska platser, inklusive Ninenzaka, Yasaka-helgedomen och Gion (den historiska geisha-stadsdelen).

Även om det är exceptionellt bekvämt för att utforska staden, ligger själva huset gömt i en charmig, fridfull bostadsgata. Efter en hektisk dag med sightseeing kan du återvända till en lugn och fridfull fristad där du kan koppla av som en lokalinvånare.

• Enkel tillgång: Stadsbussar eller hyrcyklar kan ta dig till de flesta av Kyotos berömda sevärdheter inom 30 minuter.

The place was perfectly located for us. As a family of 4 the sleeping arrangements worked. Then only glitch was the washer/dryer unit did not really work. And we were counting on that. But it didn't hinder our visit. We would stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful location with very welcoming hosts! We were looking for a traditional stay in Kyoto and this location was perfect. The shower was absolutely amazing! There were plenty of Nespresso pods for coffee if you’d like coffee in the morning. Your host will greet you at the location and review everything with you to make sure that you know how everything works and where everything is located. While you are about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the rail stations, you are very close to a lot of attractions. I would highly recommend this location!

The apartment is in a fabulous part of Kyoto. Great restaurants, shops & shrines are close by.

The apartment was very historical but with all modern amenities. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were answered right away. The location is the best. We could walk to so many great restaurants and shops, yet where the apartment is located is a quiet residential street.

Wonderful Rxperience

We have been in Kyota for two weeks and stayed at Shofu-an for only 4 days . It was the best experience - the apartment was perfect, it was situated in a great area , close to wonderful eating places, shrines all tucked away everywhere and temples. Our favourite place in Kyota. Roxana, our host, was delightful. She was super helpful during our stay and added to our whole wonderful experience.

Good location

Great location and nice host. The house is very comfortable during winter with the floor heating. The only issue is about sound proofing - the two bedrooms upstairs basically have minimum sound proofing so not great if someone in the family snores. This is kind of expected for a traditional house though.

Great location in Higashiyama

This is one of 3 units in a traditional Japanese tea house (machiya). We stayed at another unit 4 years ago and chose to return to a slightly bigger unit. This unit has good amenities such as washer/dryer, full bathroom with ofuro bathtub, and kitchen with Nespresso machine. Only thing to note is that this tea house has single-pane windows and little insulation... took a little while to warm up. Location is super convenient as we could walk to all top attractions in Higashiyama, Gion and even the shopping area. We had a short but good stay this time!

Perfect spot in Gion District, Kyoto

Everything went smoothly, payment, check in, orientation. The Manager, R, was top notch, friendly, informed, helpful with perfect recommendations for food and attractions. The unit was huge by Japanese standards, private, but handy. Totally spotless and offered each guest privacy. The deck/ garden was a bonus. The shower/ tub/ bathroom was perfect, even a washer. Did I mention a latte, expresso machine? The beds comfy, two on tutami mats, two on raised bed frames. Perfect!

what a lovely traditional home in a charming neighborhood near yasaka shrine and kiyomizu-dera. the home is cozy, well-equipped, and comfortable. the lovely garden is peaceful. the futon sleeping accommodations were very comfortable as were the western-style beds. the bathroom is updated and modern with a wonderful shower/bath room. it is in a perfect location for walking to many sights or to catch a cab or bus within the timeless city of kyoto. roxana was very helpful in providing details about the neighborhood, the home and kyoto, in general. shofu-an was a perfect place to stay to enjoy the beauty and simplicity of kyoto.

Shofu-an (Pine Breeze), Kyoto

This was our first trip to Japan and we were a little apprehensive about traveling on our own because of the language barrier. We selected to stay at Pine Breeze because we wanted to experience Japan not as tourists. We were impressed with reviews which said how helpful Roxanne is as manager of the property. There are many other similar places but I doubt any have such a delightful and helpful contact person as Roxanne. Since she is Italian but has lived in Kyoto for over 20 years, she gave us so much insight into the Japanese culture, probably more so than someone born in Japan because she knew what were the cultural differences in lifestyle. WIthout her, we would never had been able to figure out how to operate so many things in the house. The place itself is somewhat awkward without comfortable furniture but it is how the Japanese live and we grew to love the beauty of the place and spent a great deal of time just relaxing and enjoying the design. We felt we got to know Japan on a deeper level because we lived life and didn't just visit tourist sites. We added on four extra days at Shofu-an and skipped going to Nara and other places. Highly recommend the home with Roxanne as contact person.

No living area to hang out

Great location, easy check in and check out, mistly clean, really AUTHENTIC old Japanese traditional house. Nice size bedrooms, sufficient bathroom and shower facilities. The only problem for us was a complete absence of a living space to hang out in at night. There is a very small tatami area in between the kitchen table and the staircase to the bedrooms which is in front of the very small TV, but the area is too small to gather in. Additionally , it would be nice to have some other than just Japanese channels on TV. My husband was concerned with fire safety as we could see wiring near the ceiling. As expected there is practically no sound insulation so be prepared to hear everything that is going on outside and next door . A strange smell in the small area in between the front door and the door to the house where you take your shoes off. Walls and chairs in the kitchen need some freshening up as they appear somewhat worn, stained and scratched. We tried the authentic experience, but I don't think it was for us, unfortunately, which is not to say that it won't be a good fit for you.

Fantastic experience of living in a traditional Kyoto house (but with heating!)

We loved it. We've been to Kyoto many, many times, but never stayed in a house before. It was fascinating to see how the house was intertwined with its neighbors. The location is perfect - walking distance from Kiyomizu-dera and Gion, and a short bus ride from central Kyoto. The house itself was in perfect condition, everything worked perfectly (especially the heating, thank goodness - it was cold outside).

Perfect in every way!

A friend and I stayed here for four nights while traveling around Japan. Communication before we arrived was timely and excellent, and Jackie was extremely helpful and nice when we checked in. She made sure we understood everything we needed to know about the property, the area, and things we might want to do and see. The location was very convenient for lots of restaurants, sights, transportation, and shopping. We loved the quirky layout of the property and the traditional touches like sliding doors and tatami floors in some rooms. The kitchen is small but suitable for everything we needed, and there's a grocery store nearby (less than 10-minute walk). Despite very cold outdoor temperatures (we were there in February), we were always toasty warm at the home between the great heaters and heated floors. We greatly appreciated that they provided everything we needed to do laundry and took advantage of it to do a load. The shower and bath were absolutely divine. We were able to arrange luggage delivery from our ryokan in Tokyo as long as we scheduled it to arrive when we were present at the property in Kyoto. When we were done with our stay in Kyoto, we were able to send out luggage on to Hiroshima while we visited Koyosan for two nights. There is a luggage drop off place less than a 5-minute walk from the property (Gion Shijo station, Global Yamamoto). Overall, everything was prefect and we were delighted with our stay. I would definitely recommend it to others, and I would be happy to stay there again. Arigatou gozaimasu!!!!

Quick cozy visit to Kyoto

Shofu-an provided a perfect launching point for our very brief visit to Kyoto. Our group of 3 adults and 2 children fit perfectly in the Shofu-an. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival and enjoyed the experience of sleeping in a real Japanese home complete with tatami mats, heated floors and futon bedding. The location is perfect for launching out for sight seeing during the day and exploring dining options at night. I hope to stay here again next time I get to visit Kyoto.

Très jolie maison authentique japonaise

Petite maison adorable, très bien située dans le quartier de Gion, permettant de faire beaucoup de choses à pied dans Kyoto.

Varför värden valde detta boende

In this Kyoto typical house we could see a glitter of traditional atmosphere on the roof, wooden pillars, sliding doors or small garden inside the house.
The Kyoto townhouse is called Machiya and this house strongly stimulated us to restore for living. Machiya used to be townhouses or shops for the merchants in the 17th century.
Not only temples and shrines, but machiya stay is an attractive experience for all who want to know more about Kyoto' life style and its culture.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

A 15 minutes walk will take you to the riverside of the Kamogawa. You can take a pleasent stroll along the river, or do shopping in the nearby Kawaramachi area, convenient during rainy days as the shopping streets are covered, like Nishiki food market street.
A night life spot is Pontocho, a narrow lane with no cars, full of elegant restaurants, bars, and where you can have a glimpse of a Geisha or Maiko on the way or from an appointment. In the next street west side of Pontocho there is Kiyamachi, a very lively night zone where you can find many kinds of restaurants, bars, pubs and more...
Enjoy Kyoto just walking from Shofu-an!
