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!
