Great location, authentic machiya experience. Very clean and the tatami and futon were perfectly comfortable. Highly recommended to any family traveling together. Easy checkin (check in is nearby kyoto station and not at the machiya itself) and beautiful space. They send your luggage to the machiya for an addition 500 yen apiece. You don’t need to be home to receive the luggage, they will place your luggage inside the machiya for you.

Construction going on next door, not a huge issue but would have been appropriate to be notified in advance. Sounds travel very far within the machiya, so if your group sleeps at different times or if there are any young children, I would not recommend this place, nor any other older machiya home. The entire home creaks and cracks at every movement (just for your awareness, we know this is expected of an older home)

I like the space, the feel of staying in a traditional Japanese house. It is safe for young children even though there is a well (not sure if it is functioning) as the area to the well is sort of locked up. The floor is heated and the toilet seats are heated too. There is a dryer facility in the bathroom area where you can set the humidity to drying room. There is a fruit stall at unit 555, https://www.instagram.com/yaoyataiyou. The fruits are fresh and price is good. The owners are sincere sellers that serve with a smile. Totally like to go to the fruit stall. If you like fruits, good place to go to, as I realize that it is not easy to get hold of fruits in Japan.

The location to check in is not easiest to find. After that, it is a 20-30 mins walk to hotel. Would recommend to send the luggage to check in area in advance and carry a set of clothes so that you don’t have to drag your luggage along. The luggage sent in time is about 7ish even though check in was 4pm. The light is dim, good for old housing ambience but not great for reading. The location is smack in the middle of everything and it is a walk to train, buses or Nishiki market.

Great location close to Nishiki Markets and Gion District. Authentic Japanese style accomodation, clean and well equipped.

Only one pillow per bed.

A beautiful and cosy base for our visit

Only the Japanese style living room was okay. The rest was below average.

They don't have a big bed. Had to sleep seperately with my wife. Some may say it is a good thing but not for me :D They don't provide Yukata (traditional clothing) so it doesn't really make it worth to stay there. For the keys, you have to travel like 30 mins :/
