The location and transportation are very convenient, almost in the center of Kyoto. This is a renovated old machiya that is over 100 years old. It has modern convenience and comfort as well as traditional aesthetic connotation. It is a good choice to experience Kyoto. Looking forward to staying again.

Used for Obon in August 2023.It is an annual event for three close families 👪 to gather together for drinks during Obon.I went to Hokuriku, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and drank in Osaka. The destination changes every year.This year it's Kyoto.This time, Mr. A, who works in Kyoto, made the reservation.Click here Nishodo Machiya HIKARU•GOJOConveniently located just a few minutes walk from Gojo Station on the Karasuma Subway Line...That means it's the best place to go drinking in Kyoto 👍A townhouse in the area that has been around for more than 100 years has been renovated and the inside is sparkling clean❣️A two-story detached house.Furniture, bedding, tableware, towels, etc. are provided, as well as a washing machine and, of course, a refrigerator. Comfort itself.Enjoy meals, drinks, and chats in the living room 😁If you stay here for Obon and divide it among 10 people, it will cost about 7,000 yen per person, which is very nice❗️Shall we go for a drink?
