Bed & Breakfast Tsukiya

The original architecture, the atmosphere and the lovely staff are all amazing. Be sure to take the home made breakfast when you stay.

The originality did come at the slight cost of some comfort. In the smallest room it was a hard to move around or stand up and I added some layers of blankets underneath the futon. That said, everything else 100% made up for it and I’d stay here again, maybe in one of the bigger rooms! Worth it.

Super traditional property, lovely Japanese town house. Feels very immersive and historical

If you are a large person you may struggle as the house and rooms can be on the smaller side and there are no chairs or beds (tatami and futons)

Amazing experience in a traditional Kyoto machiya. The staff was so sweet and the breakfast was excellent.

A bit cold during the winter months.

The ryokan is a gem itself. A japanese house built in 1912 in good condition, making it a perfect place to experience true Japanese architecture / home / life. We can tell the owner/staff take great care of this majestic house. We really like the bathtub and enjoy bathing in the water of great quality - make sure you try it! The breakfast is exceptional, comes with a lot of small dishes in beautifully crafted utensils and cutlery. Also the ryokan is very close to Gojo subway station and bus stops.

The house is not really sound-proof so we could hear people upstairs (that's why there's no TV). Please be considerate when staying in the ryokan (earplugs are provided for light-sleepers). Also to note: The room could really only fit max number of people it states. Three of us stayed in Gengetsu Room, and with the futons all laid out it became a bit crowded. The room would become too crowded if it houses max. people with multiple large luggages. Recommend to people who travel light (with one luggage pp), or try not to maximise it.

It was nice to experience staying at a traditional Japanese accommodation. The bed was comfy and the room was large. It was close to the subway and bus stop (about 5 minutes walk) and had lots of food options around. The breakfast was yummy and a nice way to experience Japanese culture.

It is quite noisy with the traffic and the thin walls making it loud inside. Thankfully, they provided earplugs. It was quite cold inside, especially in the communal areas.

I LOVED it! The staff were exceptional, the facilities was traditional, and I felt so welcomed!!

No complaints :) Only since it is a traditional home the walls are very thin so keep that in mind when you are staying.
