A lovely Machiya to stay in and very comfortable to me and my family. We enjoy the interior looks of this unit and the bath tub. Very near to the pagoda and restaurant/cafe .However, location is a bit remote and need to walk to find this place. Recommend to travel light.

Located in the center of Shimizu, the surrounding area is full of charming alleys and shops, but this small inn is located in a quiet alley. Since I was staying with my elderly mother, I was very grateful that there was a table and sofa, and that there was a toilet next to the bedroom on the second floor. It's a quiet environment, so I think it's perfect for those who want to enjoy the tranquility.It's built with plenty of room for two people, and although it's small, it has a functional kitchen and bathroom, so we had a comfortable stay. It's also a good idea to prepare your own dinner at your inn by bringing in ingredients or taking out. I would like to try it next time.

It was very relaxing and I'm glad I had a relaxing time! I'm very satisfied! I didn't feel like going out drinking at night in Kyoto, so I bought some things at the market and had a leisurely drink at the hotel! Since I used Goto, I felt it was cheap even for two people! I feel like it's usually expensive, so if there's a discount, I'd like to use it again when I'm in Kyoto!If you have to make a request,It would have been nice to have more details about the amenities and facilities. . .Laundry after a trip is a hassle, so I thought I'd do it while I'm on the road. . . However, although dish detergent was listed, I didn't know that laundry detergent was available, so I had a hard time finding a single-use detergent before checking in, so I bought a smaller one even though I couldn't use it all. I didn't have to open it because I had it at my hotel, but if the details were detailed, I wouldn't have looked for it. . .Also, since I wash them before use, there is no problem, but unwashed noodles in the bowl or colander? I felt a little uncomfortable.

Staying at Bonbori-an enhanced our experience of being in Kyoto considerably. This is a lovely, cosy and warm house in the most amazing location (easy walking to historic sites and public transport). Everytime we came back to the house it gave us a "hug". We felt relaxed there and had great sleeps! Decor was stylish and had everything we needed for a 5 night stay. Would return in a heartbeat.
