About this property
Nijo Garden Villa - a beautiful traditional Japanese machiya house
A large traditional Japanese stay for up to 9 people.
This house is located near the famous Nijo castle in Kyoto, and is a beautiful traditional Japanese machiya house with history, but well maintained with modern kitchens and bathrooms. It has a beautiful Japanese garden in the middle that gives you some peace and quiet in the bustling streets of Kyoto. There are 2 tatami bedrooms, 1 is equipped with 2 semi double beds, with some room for extra futons, and the other bedroom can also accommodate multiple futons. There is 1 bathroom equipped with an elegant hinoki bathtub, and the other one has a shower. There is a simple modern kitchen equipped with all the basic necessities like a fridge, microwave oven, IH stove, and kitchen utensils. All of this is wrapped in typically Japanese architecture, where warm woods and the smell of tatami floors make you feel at home.

This was a lovely traditional Japanese home with easy access to bus and shopping. The property is well maintained and spacious. Our only complaints were that the front bedroom is right on the street side and a bit noisy. We were also there during the heat of the summer and that room was very warm. If you have only 6 people, the other rooms are well air conditioned and lovely. The water pressure in the showers is amazing, and it was super convenient to be able to wash clothes in the included washing machine!

5 nights in Kyoto
It was a treat to stay in this beautiful home. We were finally able to eat in and enjoy being together, instead of splitting into 3 hotel rooms. The showers had great water pressure and the toilets are modern. My biggest disappointment was sleeping on the floor on a futon, which I haven't done for decades. I'm recovering from a torn calf muscle, so stairs are difficult and getting off the floor was difficult. The Wash-Dry machine doesn't really dry well, but there was a heat wave so we hung our clothes to dry outside.Rooms & beds4 bedrooms (sleeps 9)Bedroom 13 Twin BedsBedroom 22 Twin BedsBedroom 32 Twin BedsBedroom 42 Twin Beds

Amazing space, all the conveniences you need and more for what you didn’t think you’d need! They thought of it all. Super convenient location, quiet and comfortable. Next time we come to Kyoto, we will look to book here again!
