Kyomachiya near the World Heritage Toji

A guesthouse located just a short walk from Tōji Temple, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We have renovated a traditional Kyoto townhouse (Kyomachiya), built using time-honored local construction methods, into a guesthouse.

The first floor features a kitchen area, bathroom, toilet with a bidet, sink, and laundry area.

We’ve also prepared a garden viewable from the Japanese-style room, designed to help you unwind.
Please enjoy the scenery that changes with the seasons.
One of the Japanese-style rooms features a ceiling design made by piecing together kimono fabrics.
This, too, is sure to make your view something special.

We hope you’ll relax and unwind during your stay and enjoy Kyoto to the fullest.

Rooms
This room is certified as a “Kyoto Machiya”
built using traditional Japanese construction methods.

We’ve prepared this ryokan with the hope that it will evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility, much like your grandmother’s home.


Within this setting, we collaborated with a professional designer to create a space that stands out with its light and radiance, offering an escape from the everyday.
Another highlight is the view of a small courtyard garden inspired by the kare-sansui (dry landscape) style, which can be enjoyed from this room.

We’ve thoroughly renovated the bathrooms and other wet areas, resulting in a room that combines the best of traditional Japan with modern conveniences.
We hope you’ll use this space as a base for sightseeing or business.

Guest Access
Since the entire property is rented out exclusively, you are free to use all areas of the space.

Excellent traditional experience

It was an excellent traditional experience, we had the freedom of having our own place to stay while getting to see how a traditional Japanese family may live. Our only issue was that it was difficult to find, every night we came home. Difficult to find even while using gps. Overall, our experience was phenomenal and we are so blessed to have had the opportunity.

Property itself was gorgeous and we are so glad we stayed there. We did cut our stay there short as the location was very different than what is put on the listing. We moved to a hotel closer to our friends for the rest of our stay. Was also very hard to find due to the location being not where it actually is

Genuine traditional Japanese home

A genuine traditional Japanese home experience which meant tatami mats on the floor and no chairs. Beautiful silk ceiling and traditional sliding doors and a small Zen garden were wonderful touches. All the necessary amenities were available. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom facilities are modern and the washing machine was appreciated. Wifi worked great in the morning but slower at night. Extremely pleased with our stay. A very memorable experience.

The house is very clean and you get to experience living in a traditional home in Kyoto. Be prepared to use your own personal hotspot for the internet since they only have a mobile wifi but it’s down most of the time. The bathroom is outside the home but it has a nice toilet and all the toiletries are provided including toilet paper, laundry soap, hand soap, towels, toothbrushes, and even a comb. The shower area is separate from the toilet area but it has washer and you can hang your clothes in their provided hangers. They also have a nice tub inside the shower area. The water pressure is really awesome and they have water heater controller which works instantly. There’s a 7-11 and Lawsons nearby to get water and other supplies you need. There’s even vending machines all over the streets if you need water in the middle of the night and ran out. There’s Uber to help you get to this house and back to the airport. I believe the closest bus stop is Karatocho using bus #18. There’s a laundromat across Lu Pain bakery to help you do both wash and dry and they have soap included so you don’t need to bring laundry soap. They wash and dry in same machine and accept credit cards. There’s a drug store next to the washer dryer place. The washer dryer place in Google maps is incorrect - it’s actually to the right of the drug store. The home itself is super clean and no animal smell so if you have asthma you won’t have issues here, unless you are allergic to tatami mats. I had no problem.

Nice traditionnal house

The biggest con with this stay was that there was air conditionning only in one of the two bedrooms (with the one unequipped being on the sunny side of the house, so it warmed up very quickly). This forced our group to sleep with the bedroom doors open since the temperature in the 2nd bedroom quickly became insufferable. Otherwise, the apartment has a nice japanese feel. (We also had an issue with the adress that was given and ended up far from the airbnb using google maps), so we would recommend guests to ask for the gps adress of the airbnb instead)

Casa típica japonesa, te hace vivir la experiencia. Muy espaciosa. Si es cierto que cuesta un poco acostumbrarse a la casa si eres occidental o si usualmente sueles quedarte en hoteles. Pero al final te acostumbras y se vuelve hasta acogedora. Tiene aire y calefacción y las camas son cómodas. Destacaría que estaba un poco polvorienta y que tienes que salir al jardín para ir al baño o ducharte, lo cual, si duermes arriba, es un poco incómodo, pero nada que no te termines por acostumbras.

La struttura è una casa tradizionale, si vede che ha i suoi anni ma è in ottime condizioni. Essendo stato il nostro primo soggiorno in un abitazione simile abbiamo fatto un po' di fatica ad abituarci in quanto il bagno si trova all'esterno e la casa può risultare un po' fredda. Detto questo tutto era in ordine ed è stato facile parlare col proprietario.

Großzügige Ferienwohnung in Kyoto

Die Ferienwohnung an sich war im japanischen Stil, hatte alles notwendige und war recht großzügig. Jedoch gab es leider einige negative Punkte: Die Lage der Ferienwohnung war in einem komplett anderen Bereich der Stadt, wie ursprünglich auf der Homepage angekündigt (angekündigt im Norden der Stadt, jedoch im Süden gelegen). Dies klärte sich jedoch bei der Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer. Allerdings gab es keine ausreichende Beschreibung der Anfahrt bzw. die Adresse war nicht verständlich, so dass wir erst nach langem Suchen und Unterstützung von Ortskundigen das Haus gefunden hatten. Die Toilette und das Bad befinden sich im Außenbereich des kleinen Innenhofs, was aus der Beschreibung so nicht draus hervorgeht. Dann gab es Probleme mit der Waschmaschine. Dabei war die Kommunikation und die Reaktion der Besitzer oder der Agentur nicht ideal. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, das Haus war ok, wenn man eine Toilette im Hof akzeptieren kann. Jedoch die Kommunikation mit Besitzer oder Agentur ist absolut verbesserungswürdig.

Maison Kyoto

Grande maison dans Kyoto. Plusieurs arrêts de bus à proximité. Nous sommes restés 6 nuits dans ce logement. Tout est fourni, cuisiné équipé. La maison est un peu vide mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé. Je conseille ce logement.
