Very beautiful location to stay in. It's a little out of the way if you want to be closer to bus stations, but maybe that's a plus to avoid crowds/noise, and the walk isn't terribly long. I was given taxi accommodations to bring my luggage over. Size was overkill for three guests only staying one night, but it was more for the experience. If you have a larger group, the extra space will be very convenient, and you can make use of the kitchen and other amenities.

This wasn't terribly inconvenient for me since my travel plans worked out this way, but you have to check-in at a separate office beforehand (near Kyoto JR station). If you can't arrive until later in the day, maybe it'd be hard to plan around, but for me, it was fine.

Amazing experience in a traditional Kyoto townhouse. Very comfortable with a luxurious feel. The check in was smooth and the staff very helpful, even helped us fill out luggage transport forms in Japanese. Bathroom is a real highlight!

For 4 friends sharing we had to compromise a little on privacy, one room is a twin room and the other is a double bed. There are also futons which can be laid out in the living room, be warned it's very similar to sleeping on the floor. Mind your head if you are tall!

It was comfy and neat. It had an enclosed indoor garden and enough space for all of us. Its traditional building style made it quaint and relaxing. It’s quite close to a train line and buses are a short walk away

Peaceful location by the river, very walkable to Kyoto Station and Kiyomizu Dera Temple. Impeccably clean inside, adorable garden, LOVED the tub and bathroom, comfy beds. This house was honestly one of the highlights of the trip!

The design and construction are second to none making for an exceptionally comfortable stay. The traditional Japanese garden courtyard was a delight. We felt privileged to stay here.

We loved it all

Loved the location and the amenities offered. Was a beautiful oasis

Challenging for tall people

Internal garden

Missing a coffee machines.

very comfortable bed; well equipped kitchen; host kindly helped to arrange transportation

Better if there is a dining table with chairs

Nicely refurbished machiya with all the amenities one could wish for.
