Worthy of a Sixth StarThis machiya is undoubtedly a hidden treasure in Kyoto. It perfectly marries the charm of a traditional Japanese house with the convenience of modern amenities. The residence boasts a contemporary shower, a state-of-the-art Japanese toilet, and all the kitchen appliences you need, at least for cooking a simple meal or preparing breakfast. Beyond the living space, a beautiful Japanese garden unfolds before your eyes as viewed from the tea room. Here, you have exclusive access to your own private onsen. The round bathtub can be effortlessly filled with just a press of a button.Situated on a tranquil side street yet conveniently close to a bus station and other public transportation, the machiya offers the best of both worlds. Convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants are all within a five-minute walk. Moreover, some of the most iconic sights of Kyoto are merely a stone's throw away, enabling you to spend days exploring the city on foot, starting right from your doorstep.The hosts, Eri and Koji, epitomize thoughtfulness and kindness. They go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible, assisting with restaurant reservations and offering recommendations for places to visit. Eri graciously welcomed us upon arrival and provided a comprehensive overview of the residence and its amenities.Our heartfelt thanks to Eri and Koji for an unforgettable experience.

The nostalgic atmosphere of the room and open-air bath will soothe you.Comes with IH heater and sink. Glasses and tableware are also available, so you can prepare simple meals.I especially liked that the hot water in the open-air bath was automatic and had additional heating.It's located along a narrow road, but it seemed like there were a lot of people walking around, probably because it was Golden Week.I would like to repeat it again.

A Kyomachiya that gives you a nostalgic feel. It's so comfortable that I end up staying for a long time. Once you get used to it, it feels like a separate home in Kyoto. It's a very nice and relaxing accommodation (room).However, due to the structure of the townhouse, there are many steps, so those with weak legs should avoid it.

A renovated townhouse inn. Unlike most renovated properties where you can rent out the whole building and feel like an ordinary hotel once you step inside, you can feel the owner's commitment to the furnishings and tradition. Recommended only for Japanese people.
