We absolutely loved staying ing Koto Inn. It was so beautifully preserved and was a huge highlight for our Kyoto trip. It was comfortable and having amenities like laundry was very helpful for our trip. David and Yoshiko were excellent hosts, and were friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. They have lots of information about the area and their binders were a great resource!

Mit viel Geschmack eingerichteter Kyo Machiya in hervorragender Lage (U-Bahn, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wenige Fussminuten entfernt, sehr ruhig. Viele wertvolle Tipps vom freundlichen Vermieter (via e-Mail). Zum Eintauchen in japanische Lebensweise bestens geeignet. Wir waren sehr angetan auch wenn die Futons Muskeln und Sehnen ungewohnt strapazieren. Wärmsteins empfohlen!

We were fortunate enough to stay at this beautiful home in 2018 and dreamed of coming back. It is immaculate, beautiful, carefully curated, and comfortable. The hosts are so communicative and made sure to check in to offer suggestions. We felt so nurtured and taken care of in so many ways. Thank you!

Koto Inn was a bit of a dream. The house is a beautifully restored machiya in a fantastic neighborhood...just steps away from museums, great restaurants and public transportation. Our host David was unfortunately not in Kyoto during our stay, but he was great about communicating before our arrival and was relatively easy to reach and responsive to our questions during our stay. I must say, as much as we loved this property, it is important to know that the house is not completely comfortable. There are no chairs in the house...the table for eating is low and cushions with backs are provided. We slept in futons on the floor. My partner and I are both in our 70s with some mild mobility issues. We adapted to the challenges but feel it's important for prospective tenants to know. It is fantastic if you want a traditional Japanese experience.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful, historic machiya in Kyoto. We felt like we were stepping back in time when we entered the machiya. As western (U.S.) travelers, we enjoyed the experience of sleeping on traditional bedding, with a courtyard garden just outside our bedroom. It was lovely to wake up each morning to the sound of songbirds in the garden. Also, we came to appreciate the wonderful neighborhood in which the machiya is located. It's extremely quiet and feels more local than some of the over-touristed areas in which other hotels and holiday rentals are located. We loved going to the nearby soba noodle shop and mochi shop. And the canal near the machiya was gorgeous for taking morning and evening walks. This was a beautiful stay that contributed a great deal to our immersive experience of Kyoto.

A Quiet, Calm, and Incredible Kyoto Stay at Koto Inn
Everything about the Koto Inn is just wonderful, especially if you’re looking for a genuine taste of a Japanese world from days past. It really feels like traveling back in time as the interior is so lovingly decorated and holds everything necessary for a stay in Japan’s original capital. Not only is it peaceful in and around this part of Kyoto, but David and Yoshiko do a fantastic job of giving you all of the information and recommendations needed to make your stay perfect. I’d definitely stay again in the future (or is it in the past?).

A beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood
After 15 years of renting short-term stays, this is one of the most special homes I have stayed in. David and Yoshiko’s home is beautiful, well taken care of, in a great location. They also put a very helpful house manual - highly recommend reading it first! It includes everything from light switches locations to how to operate the tub.It was a treat staying in a traditional home.

This place offers an authentic experience of daily life in Kyoto, hidden in a very quiet and peaceful lane near a creek. It is clean and comfortable and easy to reach most cultural points. My wife and I had the best sleep on tatami.

Short Stay at Koto Inn
The moment we walked down the lane and opened the front door we were amazed by the historical surroundings and beauty. We wanted to experience authentic Japanese living and this did not fail us. The host left several restaurant recommendations and places to visit close by. Also provided details of other means of transportation. Such a great experience!!!

Perfect location
We really appreciated the location of this very traditional home within a beautiful historic neighbourhood in Kyoto. The bathroom was beautiful, the furnishings characteristic . There’s a pretty garden out back. Washing machine worked great as did ac but never figured out how to use the cooktop. Note that all seating and beds are on the floor. We managed fine, but our aging knees and stiff bodies in the morning tell us that we probably won’t do this in years to come. Also note that kitchen. has minimal utensils, etc, so if you like to cook while travelling, this may not be the place for you. But who cooks while in Japan? All the surrounding restaurants are amazing.

Beautiful historic home
We loved our time at the Koto Inn. It is beautifully renovated with all historical touches along with modern conveniences. We were not sure how we would relax in an Inn without conventional furniture however we were very comfortable with the seating and beds and completely relaxed in the Dennie setting. The area is great - very close to subway. Was easy to get to Kyoto station for some day trips and tours. David and Yoshiko were very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a special experience in Kyoto.
