I really enjoyed staying in this traditional Japanese-style house. The atmosphere was authentic and peaceful, and the garden was absolutely beautiful — a perfect place to relax after a long day. The bathroom was also very comfortable and well-designed. There is also a luggage delivery service available, which is very convenient and makes traveling much easier. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. They gave great recommendations for nearby onsens and restaurants, which made the experience even more special.

One thing to keep in mind is that the check-in location is different from the actual accommodation, so it’s worth planning this in advance.

"Super schöner Aufenthalt"

10.0

Die Lage war Perfekt man ist in nichtmahl 10 min. Bei der U-Bahn. Oder wenn man laufen will, ist man in keinen 20min. In der belebten Einkaufsmeile. Das Zimmer wurde auch früher Übergeben, das es schon fertig war.

Es gab nichts negatives

The beds were so comfortable here, which was icing on the cake because the home itself was the real highlight. The air conditioning was strong enough to keep us comfortable on hot hot nights, and the coffee, tea, and kitchen setup suited our family well!

"Highly recommended. A home away from home."

9.0

It's an amazing property and we really enjoyed staying there. At some point, you get fed up staying in the hotel room so a house with lots of space and a garden was a welcome break from the typical hotels.

It's not really a complaint but the weather was really bad and it's not easy to heat up the whole house. But the bedroom and bathroom were really warm.

"Great experience in traditional machiya house"

10.0

Good experience to stay in traditional Japanese house.clean and kitchen well equipped. Washing machine was convenient. Due to it being an older building, insulation isn’t very good and gets very cold in the winter and need heaters in all rooms. Location is not great as it is walking distance to most places. Bus stop 7 minute walk. Could have provided more furniture such as chairs. Overall nice experience besides being on the cold side.
