It was a very nice guesthouse with heartfelt hospitality everywhere.I stayed there with my kids and it was more relaxing than at home.Breakfast was also very popular, and you could choose bread from a long line of bakeries, as well as cut fruit, boiled eggs, and a cup of soup, so it was very good. As a welcome treat, we had lots of sweets, juice, tea, and ice cream, so we had a sweets party with the kids in the evening and enjoyed it. They provided all the supplies, and they had a better selection than at home, which was great.The owner's service and smile were wonderful, making it an inn I would like to stay at again and again.It was very good and at a very reasonable price.The one star minus is that it can't be helped because it's an old townhouse, but the stairs are steep and the Wi-Fi doesn't work.

It was very good.You will feel like staying in a villa in Kyoto.However, the price is cheap, so the cost performance is very good.You can get information about Kyoto from the very nice landlady.Also, the inside of the room has been renovated and is very beautiful.The bathroom is also the latest in style and can be easily accessed. The bathroom has a window to the courtyard.It was very atmospheric and nice.The kids were glued to the big TV and DVD.My wife can cook a variety of delicious ingredients from Kyoto.It seems like it was fun.I stayed at semi-luxury hotels such as Nikko Nara and USJ Hotel before and after.Everyone in my family said Chihayafuru was the most fun.It was a good memory of Kyoto. thank you very much.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the landlady for all her consideration.

I appreciate your kindness at this time.I would like to write a review so that everyone can enjoy this accommodation.A two-story house, the raccoon dog and noren curtain at the entrance are landmarks. The entrance has a sliding door and is fully equipped with disinfectant!As you pass through the rising stile, there is an audio booth on the right (the floor is wooden, so this is recommended for dining with small children), a 3-seater sofa, a foot massage machine, a DVD, etc.The toilet is on the left (it also accommodates a baby toilet).The stairs leading up to the second floor are in front of the toilet, but they are a bit steep, so be careful little ones! At the end is the living room, mini kitchen and bath.We have everything you need, so you don't need to bring anything unless you're particular about it.There were welcome drinks, ice cream after the bath, and lots of sweets.There are hair dryers that dry your hair, but there are no set types.The bath is equipped with automatic hot water so you can take a bath while looking out at the garden.There are two rooms on the second floor with a staircase in between, both of which are Japanese-style rooms.There is a TV only on the left side. The bed is comfortable and relaxing. They also put pads in the gaps between the beds for small children, which is very helpful.You are free to enter and exit the facility. The owner's house is next door so you can use the extension line, so you can talk to him about any problems you may have!For breakfast, each person can enjoy two pieces of bread from a delicious local bakery! A cup of soup, boiled eggs, and fruit will fill your stomach.Although it is set back one street from the main street, you can easily hear the voices of people walking in front of you. It doesn't matter once you get used to it. Convenience stores are also within walking distance. If you're having trouble finding dinner, the hostess will kindly give you recommendations.A truly relaxing inn!Everything was perfect.thank you very much.

I stayed at a lovely Kyoto townhouse on Kuchikomi Street 😊I was very happy with the wonderful space and the hospitality of the owner's wife, who naturally wanted us to enjoy Kyoto from the bottom of my heart.I would like to ask you to stay again 🙇

Two friends and I stayed for two nights on November 16. The price is very affordable for a private room (the average cost per person per night including accommodation tax is about NT$2,100). The decoration combines the retro feel of a machiya with a very novel and modern style. Electronic equipment and a variety of personal cleaning supplies (even skin care products) are provided. There are snacks on the table in the living room and a lot of drinks in the refrigerator for guests to enjoy. It makes you feel right at home! What is even more recommended is that the owner is beautiful and kind, and can communicate with her in simple English. When we returned to the machiya on the second day after checking in, there was a note on the table from the owner. He thoughtfully helped check the weather for the next day and even prepared oranges for us to eat! We really fell in love with it as soon as we stayed! Highly recommended to travelers who want to experience machiya in Kyoto!

Convenience stores and bus stops are nearby, and Randen is within walking distance, so it's convenient, but it's a quiet place, so it was a very comfortable stay. The facility was clean and had almost all the amenities and cooking utensils, so I didn't have any problems. I was very surprised by the amount of welcome drinks and snacks provided. I was very happy that the towels were changed every day and the amenities, drinks, and snacks were replenished.Also, even though I had to cook it myself, I was given the ingredients for breakfast, and they even went out of their way to buy fresh bread that I recommended and had it delivered to me.I was treated to such hospitality that I didn't want to go home. did.
