We went a few days ago with my partner, we stayed 4 nights since we wanted to live the experience of a typical house and it was beautiful! The machiya has everything you need, from toothbrushes, shampoo, rinse, washing machine, etc! The owners were very friendly, they left us many capsules of exquisite coffee, bottles of water, etc! They even lent us bicycles to explore Kyoto (100% recommended)! Then we had to go to the station to go to Osaka and the owner offered to take us, a luxury!!!! Always attentive to our needs! I give it a 100000 out of 10.

This typical Japanese house is a spectacle. We loved it. The house was super complete and comfortable, he left us water and coffee among other things. The super friendly and attentive host lent us bicycles, which is a spectacular way to get to know corners of the city that we would not have known otherwise. And he took us to the train station on the way out. Excellent

I enjoyed the 5 straight nights staying there. It's super clean and with everything one needs as a traveler. Location is 15-20 mins apart from the busy area. So quiet and so good.

Nine people stayed in this traditional house. The owner was very welcoming and helpful, he made us feel welcome. The house is equipped with everything you might need. We slept on futon beds. The best thing, however, was the included use of bicycles which allowed us to explore Kyoto easily and from a point of view that traveling by subway would not be rewarding. I would always choose this solution and I really recommend it!

Small machiya. Clean and functional. Sleeps 5 on futon. Owner is friendly. Location not that great. I would have preferred something closer to the town center. There are very few restaurants nearby. Not much going on in the residential area.

Took the family to Kyoto and staying here was one of the highlights. It's an old house but what fun! Our host went out of his way to get us to/from Kyoto station, lend us bikes, let us store luggage until later, etc. Next time we go to Kyoto we'll stay here! The bikes were very useful for getting around, we biked to Ginkakuji, then all the way down the east side of Kyoto to Kiyomizu-dera and back. I recommend you go in May, or October or November when the leaves are changing.
