Guest Reviews
- Binet (9/5): Amazing place if looking for authentic japan xp - L’accueil et la gentillesse de l’hôte L’expérience vrai Japon, vrai tatami Le côté déconnexion d’un lieu si atypique Bit far from central but I knew it !
- JAVIER (4/5): Muy poco funcional. Incomoda. Cara. - La ubicación. Hall espacioso. Tatami de habitaciones, nuevo y cuidado. El jardín. El par de puertas correderas que cerraban bien. El edredón. Tras llevar 16 días viajando por Japón y dormir en varios tipos de alojamientos (casas típicas, hoteles, apartamentos...), esta es nuestra opinión: - Alojamiento con peor calidad-precio aun teniendo en cuenta que era en Kioto y temporada alta. - En el anuncio aparecen fotos de otras casas que tiene, dando la sensación de que es más grande y mejor. - De las fotos que si correspondían, faltaba mobiliario. Por ejemplo, en el baño no había nada, ni mueble, ni colgador, ni siquiera un taburete para sentarte y asearte (ver fotos). - No había mucha luz y al jardín no se podía acceder, aumentando la sensación de encerramiento. - La casa esta llena de normas, algunas de sentido común y otras muchas excesivas, dando la sensación que te están invitando a dormir más que pagando 221€/noche (ver fotos y valorar por vosotros mismos). - Es una casa antigua que ha sido reformada, pero ahorrando en muchos aspectos: las puertas correderas, excepto un par, no cierran bien y meten mucho ruido (cero insonorización), los marcos, instalaciones de ventilación, lavadora no funcionaba, espacio inodoro, mantenimiento...(ver fotos). - Los futones son los más delgados en los que hemos dormido. - Puertas muy bajas, 1,72cm, por lo que te tienes que ir agachado por toda la casa, y si te levantas por la noche para ir al servicio te puedes imaginar lo que te va a pasar. - A pesar de tener un hall muy grande donde puede poner un juego de sillas y mesa para sentarse y desayunar, no lo tenía ni lo ofreció. Te tenías que sentar en el suelo o de pie si querías comer algo y descansar. Por todo esto, no entiendo porque hay gente que ha puesto un 10 en confort. - Dueño: Sobreactuaba para ser simpático y obtener buena valoración. Tuvo un par de detalles feos cuando tuvo que actuar fuera del guion aprendido. A pesar de tener 4 casas en alquiler, parece que solo le importa seguir ganando dinero recortando en gastos. Nota: Fue la excepción tras pasar 24 noches en Japón.
- Judit (10/5): Japán hangulattal egy remek szállás. - A tulaj nagyon kedves volt, mindent részletesen elmondott a saját nyelvemen lejátszott hangfelvételekkel. A szállás tiszta, igazi hagyományos japán hangulattal, amit mindig szerettem volna kipróbálni. Közel a pályaudvar, a tömegközlekedés gyorsan elérhető. Az utca csendes. Nem tudok ilyet mondani.
- Oliver (10/5): Great place to stay - The owner was very kind to us, he put up a welcome sign on our arrival and breif us the rules in person with a clear translator. The place is very cozy to stay, it's very quiet and close to station. Highly recommended and would stay again if there is another chance. Something to be careful that if you are tall like me (183cm), the roof is pretty low so you have to bow down when you going to another room so you don't knock your head. The dryer is pretty weak.
- Elwira (10/5): - Really great place to experience Japanese style accommodation. Location is great too, close to trai station, ging supermarket and tube station. Quiet area. nothing
- Sébastien (10/5): -
- Tūmanako (10/5): - Wonderful stay! We had a memorable few nights here getting to experience a traditional home. Loved it!
- Kaia (9/5): recommend it! - Well located next to AEON shopping center, bus stops and Kujo metro station, in a quiet area. Big enough for us 3, our baby had space to crawl and play :) The kitchen is equipped enough to cook simple meals. The futon beds were comfortable. I really appreciate that the owner let us check-in in advance and that he came in person to give us the keys. That’s a much better experience than self-serviced accommodations! I heard an animal (a possum?) running in the attic at night, that made me feel a bit unease.
- Jasmine (9/5): Cozy Machiya not too far from Kyoto Station! -
- D (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, homey place to stay, and exceptional host! We highly recommend for those who want to experience living in Japanese-style housing.
- Noemi (10/5): Unique experience - Unique location and really kind owner, 10 min from main station, the bed were really comfortable :)
- Clara (9/5): Superb -
- Saeid (10/5): Good location near Kyoto train station. You need to take transit to go to major tourist attractions. - Great experience staying at a traditional Japanese house.
- Jean (10/5): Exceptional - Cute cozy space. Great kitchen. Gracious hosts. Washer/dryer. Close to Aeon mall and Kyoto station. Everything you need. Quiet neighborhood. Futon a little thin for 50+ y.o. guests 😀
- Jingyi (8/5): takes a bit to get used to but an amazing experience and value for money - the experience of living in a kyomachiya during winter it was really cold throughout the house, aside from the living room where I had the AC blasting. also there appeared to have been some animals fighting in the attic, it woke me up at night alot, sounded like they were going to fall through the ceiling any time…
- Manuel (10/5): Amazing experience - the style, space and location. Very nice hosts.
- Raymond (8/5): - 可體驗一次較傳統日式的住宿，住處離京都站10分內行程，AEON Mall只需5分行程，屋外環境寧靜，屋內具有日式風格，有tatami bed的地方就有暖氣，令人可以盡情享受。
- wenchou (8/5): 很不錯的日式住宿體驗 - 距離京都車站八條口約600公尺走路10分鐘距離永旺購物中心250公尺位置還不錯， 屋內很乾淨都是木地板及塌塌米非常有日式感覺，家具一應具全有wifi 電視洗衣機....很不錯的日式住宿體驗。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 휴가중 비가 새벽에 와서 준비되지 않아 걱정을 했는데 우산이 미리 챙겨져 있어서 즐거운 여행을 마무리 할 수 있어서 감동이었습니다.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - An amazing Japanese living experience
- YU LIN (10/5): - 這間町家雖然在住宅區，但走路5分即可到AEON 購物中心，離京都車站八条口也大概10分鐘，交通很方便
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 영어를 잘하셔서 말이 잘 통했어요. 친절하세요. 방은 다여섯명이 잘 수 있을정도로 넓엇어요. 근데 화장실이 넘 추워요ㅠ 정원도 예쁘고 내부도 아기자기 참 귀여운 방이었습니다.
- Ismail (8/5): - Everything good except they dont have room service.
- SHU CHUN (10/5): - 帶著2歲和4歲小孩入住, 房子空間很夠用.小孩很喜歡^^
- FUMING (10/5): - 乾淨又溫馨的民宿小旅館，離京都車站和mall都不遠，超方便！
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The stay was wonderful, clean and spacious. Enjoyed the Japanese style being there.Thank you!
- Gloria (8/5): Cómodo y bien situado,tradicional y limpísimo - Comodidad y estilo tradicional,ideal situado junto a la estación central,proporciona independencia a buen precio..
- Cassandra (10/5): A great traditional Japanese experience. - I like the zen ambience, the large room space and the overall clean look of the apartment. We could see the delicate attention of the owner to meet the detailed needs of the guest. It's a 10 minutes' walk to Kyoto station. A big shopping mall Aeon is just next door. A quiet neighbourhood. Only minus point is not enough cloth hangars for 3 of us during laundry. However, that's a small hiccup. ,We will stay here again on our next visit.
- Fleur (10/5): Japanese house - Fabulous experience and a great change from a hotel. Cool to have your own Japanese house for a few days. Very convenient to get to the station and JR lines. Great shopping and places of interest. Kyoto is a charming city. Reception for key collection is easy to find and nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful. They do not clean the house during your stay and you will sleep on a futon.
- Verified traveler (8/5): A traditional (but expensive) experience - My family of 4 stayed in the Annex and it was certainly beautiful and very conveniently located - but wow, it certainly was an expensive experience for us (especially in April at the end of the Sakura season). Traditional tatami mat floors in the rooms with futons were great for the kids, but I was very pleased to utilise an extra foam base that was in one of the cupboards to provide just a bit more padding. Still, a lovely space for our visit, great location to utilise transport options, a traditional experience to mark off the list, and a park across the way that was great for the kids to lose some energy in.
- Ratima (8/5): Japanese style - 8 minutes to Tokyo Train Station - Very convenient, close to Mall and train station but no house keeping service during our stay. Beds must be prepared by our own.
- Amy (10/5): LOVED IT, will go again. - Beautiful, spotless, and charming inside. We stayed in the middle unit of three, they are all single floor with raised tatami. Very very comfortable for the 5 of us including 3 children. Excellent location, 3 blocks to Kyoto station and one block from Aeon mall!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful, authentic Japanese house. - We loved staying here. Great authentic Japanese vibe. Clean, good location, nice and helpful staff.
- chuck (8/5): Buyer Beware but nice accommodations. - When checked in was told of extra fees for additional family members @ cost of $85 per person per day. Very disappointing. The accommodations and staff were nice and gave traditional Japan experience.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Japanese home experience - Very convenient, next to Aeon Mall and near Kyoto station. Amenities almost complete. Would be perfect if there is an iron provided. Perfect space for my family of four.
- @ndee (10/5): feel like home - living among the locals and in Japanese style - kitchen, garden, air conditioning, living room, washing machine. Only a short stroll to shopping. This is the best of all the places including 5 stars hotel I stayed during my trip in Japan. Will definitely return.
