Amazing machiya house. Great bathrooms, tubs and scenery. Very different from a normal hotel but great service as well. Very close to bakeries, restaurants and the market.
The house is amazing! Over 100 years old, you feel like you’re in an authentic Japanese house. The staff gave us a tea ceremony, which was incredible. The private onsen bath outside is the perfect getaway from the hustle of the city and great for your aching legs.

Wonderful, private feeling stay while in a central location in Kyoto. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and a very special way for my husband and I to experience traditional Japanese food. Outdoor bath was so nice.

After checking in, we get to enjoy matcha with small sweets prepared by the machiya staff. There are many restaurants nearby and easy access from the Kyoto station.

It was our family’s first time staying at a machiya. It was an easy place to find upon arrival in Kyoto. The house was lovely. The tea ceremony at check-in along with the Japanese sweets were much appreciated. They were able to help us arrange for delivery of our luggage onwards to our next city. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
