I used it for 2 nights and 3 days. It was a corner of a townhouse where people actually live, so it really felt like I was living in Kyoto. It was an inn that I couldn't afford unless I used Goto, but I was able to spend a very good time this time.◯RoomIt had been renovated and felt clean. Especially the water area was new. The floor plan, doors, stairs, cupboards, etc. felt old in a good way. I was worried about the cold, but once I turned on the heater I didn't feel it at all.I really want to stay in an old townhouse! For some people, the interior may feel a little new. I want to feel the atmosphere of a townhouse! I think it's perfect for those who say so. We were able to fully enjoy the townhouse.◯ServiceThere is a reception located a few minutes walk from Kyoto Station, and check-in and explanations were easy to understand. When I made a request regarding amenities during my stay, they were very responsive. At check-in, each person was allowed to leave their luggage with us, so we were able to travel light from the first day. I was very grateful that my luggage was delivered to my townhouse.◯LocationIt was a very good location, a few minutes walk from Shijo Kawaramachi Station, within walking distance to Nishiki Market, and there was a supermarket just a short walk away. The entrance was a little hard to find, but the lady at the reception gave me detailed directions, so I didn't get lost.This is a great property with everything within walking distance, but since you have to walk everywhere, it may not be suitable for people who have a hard time getting around or who want to take time off from the station or bus stop. I think people who don't mind walking will enjoy their stay.◯Others・You will be warned at the reception, but due to the structure of the building, you are not allowed to make any noise, such as shouting or moving around. Have a good time drinking with your friends! I think it's tough. It gives the impression that it is for people who want to spend a relaxing time.・The bathtub in the bathroom is spacious! You can stretch your legs. However, the washing area is a little small. However, it's just that if someone tries to come in or out while one person is washing, it can be a little fidgety. I didn't feel that much of a problem.・Most amenities were provided, but no nightwear. Let's bring it. It seems that some amenities are no longer available for rental due to coronavirus countermeasures (such as nail clippers).It was a very pleasant stay. thank you very much.

I'm satisfied.An old townhouse has been completely renovated into a modern Japanese facility.The neighbors also greet you casually and make you feel as if you live there. Moreover, it was in a perfect location, just a short walk from Nishiki Market and the Gion area.We only stayed for one night, but you can stay there for a long time, and it's quite a luxurious space, so the price is reasonable.At this time, I was glad that I was using GOTO for half the price, but the regular price would be fine for one or two nights, but I don't think it would be possible for me to stay for a long time.I would definitely like to use other machiya houses on another occasion.

It's in a great location in the center of Kyoto, and we had a great time at the Kyomachiya. The facilities and amenities were also attractive. The bedroom on the second floor had a nice structure and the bed was particularly comfortable. I would definitely like to use it again.

This is a very convenient inn with a great location!Even though I played in Shijo until late at night, I was able to walk home with peace of mind, and the room was clean and warm!This is the townhouse where I want to stay every time I travel to Kyoto.The bed was very comfortable and I fell asleep.One thing that bothered me was that the bathtub was so large that it took a long time to fill up with hot water. I also felt that the temperature of the hot water was low.The bath system was difficult, but I was comfortable in it, so it was no problem!I would definitely like to go again.
