"Excellent location, amenities and value for money. Would stay again!"

9.0

They location of the house was perfect, within walking distance of Nishiki Market, the historical parts of Gion, transport etc. The amenities were also excellent and the individual vanity kits were a lovely touch. The bedding was extremely comfortable, so much so, we asked the host where we could buy some, but were told it’s custom made. Overall, we really loved our stay.

While the location of the house was convenient, it’s also on a busy road with lots of cars, trucks and people going by. So we found it quite noisy, esp late at night and early morning. It wasn’t much of a problem downstairs, but if the windows upstairs were double glazed, it would really help reduce the noise.

"Nice experience in a Machiya house in The middle of Gion"

8.0

Very nice traditional house. Great location and well equipped and clean. Only annoying part is the check in process… going to this place (30 min drive) for something that could easily be done online is a bit a waste of time.

This Machiya house is located in a very accessible location within Gion district. We were able to enjoy a traditional Japanese way of living in the house. The house was very clean and suprisingly quiet. Loved the bonus views of the garden inside the house.

We were not used to sleeping on tatami floors and this can be uncomfortable for people used to a western style mattress. However, this was a very minor inconvenience and we did wake up refreshed every day.

"Best place to enjoy the culture of Kyoto"

10.0

Amazing location, perfect access to all attractions in Gion but not overly crowded like the main strip. Very traditional machiya house that made me feel like stepping back in time. A pair of female and male zoris were at the entrance to use if wanted. Entry way was large to take off shoes for multiple people. Kitchen was perfect for cooking meals when we wanted to stay in. Great access to nearby buses and trains. I loved everything about the house!!

Small drawback is Gion is a very popular spot and being a traditional machiya sound travels easily. If someone is drunk or not caring to be quiet at night and walking past you’ll probably hear them
