We caught a taxi from the train station and was a little concerned we would be out of the way from the major spots to visit. To our surprise we found out pretty quickly a lot were within walking distance. …

We stayed in a beautiful, authentic two bedroom apartment which was in an ideal location in Gion. Close to all the sites, but in a quiet side street. Would recommend this property highly and the level of service from the team was great, meeting us earlier than we'd planned.

A beautifully presented property and within easy walking distance to all amenities. Host and concierge service were very hospitable and helpful. It felt very 'zen' - particularly the amazing bathroom - we would have no hesitation in recommending Komatsu South!

Modern machiya, located about 10 mins walk from Hanamikoji Street (famous street for Geisha spotting). The team is super attentive, with *AMAZING* concierge service - they're so helpful in helping us make restaurant reservations and recommendations, booking taxi, helping us with our luggages. One of the team members is a Singaporean, which makes communication in English easy.There are two floors in the house. Given that it's a machiya, it's expected for noise to travel given that walls are thin. There's 2-in-1 washing machine & dryer available in our unit (second floor) which is useful in winter. We had a great stay!
