Gorgeous. Great for groups. Be careful of the water controls as it controls filling and temperature of the bath but also turning it off will turn off hot water in the whole building.

We had a really amazing time at Mizunoha Machiya. The house is massive, beautiful, clean and within walking distance of everywhere we needed to go. Our favorite part was the large bathroom with the private onsen. The window in the bathtub area actually slides open, so you can enjoy a refreshing breeze while overlooking the little garden outside. The staff were also accommodating with shipping our luggage to and from the machiya. We didn’t use this but they will help make dinner reservations and call taxis as well. I highly recommend this machiya, I didn’t want to leave!

It was very clean and beautiful, and my family of three had a great time there. Although it was October, the temperature was chilly in the evening. However, there was floor heating installed, so I was able to stay warm in the room. In the evening, I went to Gion to eat, and it was just a nice walk away. The bathroom was clean, and the miniature garden that could be seen from the window was atmospheric. However, when I fill the bathtub with hot water, the sink gets filled with steam, so I wondered if there was a way to fix this. I'm really thankful to you.

Just one step to 5 stars.Perfect: Japanese style bath.Good: Spaces and atmosphere. Clean and amenities. Location.Fair: Check out time. (11am would be more friendly)Needs approvement: Maintenance.Air conditioner at one bed room was really noisy (pumping machine level), Air conditioner at another bed room didn’t work well (not cool at all). Ventilation at one toilet didn’t work. Sensor night light at room was over sensitive and strong. (Just light up the floor softly would be enough)Fortunately those defects which I experienced could be fixed.Still would love to try next time, and would recommend to friends.👍

This place is meticulously clean, posh and cozy! We love the little details here and there that made our stay so comfy. The reception team is professional and prompt in handling our requests. The internal decor is modern but yet practical, we have a spacious place to stay and the in-house hot bath is well appointed with a great view of the momiji zen garden. We love this place and we will definitely stay in Machiya with the help of the same team again!!!

We stayed for three nights in this fabulous traditional style yet modern house, two upstairs rooms with western style beds and a futon in the ground floor room with tatami mats. The house has been renovated to a very high standard with luxury showers and bathroom, the latter being very popular with our sons. Wifi was fast and very easy to connect to, and we were able to use a Firestick to watch a film after a long day sightseeing. The location is excellent for exploring Kyoto, being only a few minutes walk from a local train station which provides a direct service to Fushimi Inari Taisha, and only about 15 to 20 minutes walk from the popular areas around Hanamikoji Street and Kiyamachi Dori, with a multitude of restaurants and bars to choose from.

We stayed here for one night with 4 adults and 3 children. It has a good location, right next to the nearest station, a convenience store nearby, and close to tourist spots, making it an ideal base for sightseeing. There was a coin parking nearby which was convenient. The inside of the house was very clean and the bathroom was large and comfortable. However, as for the amenities, I wanted skin care. I think it would be better to have room wear as well. It's a detached house, so I was able to relax and feel at home without having to worry about anything. I plan to use it again♪
