This is a beautiful traditional house with lots of rooms and zones. The bathroom is luxurious and separate from both the bedroom and the toilets, so it’s very private. The house has two separate toilets, one on each floor, so regardless of where you sleep, there’s a toilet nearby. The beds are together in a room upstairs, and the tatami room on the ground floor has futons that can be set up. There is beautiful traditional furniture throughout the house. The kitchen is functional for storing and preparing food, with more than just the minimal basics. The washing machine works well and there is an area for hang-drying the clothes. Heating worked well (we were there in December) and there are separate heating/cooling units for each floor. The house is on a main street in a nice part of the city, quiet and convenient to subway and buses. Thetr are delicious restaurants nearby and a full grocery store a 10 minute walk away. We wished we had planned to stay longer because we really loved staying in this machiya! Communication with the management was minimal and the door code worked great. Very easy and comfortable to stay.

I didn’t mind, but you should be aware that the bedroom is up quite a steep flight of stairs. This might be challenging for someone with limited mobility, or with children. Kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and tatami/futon room are all on the ground floor. Washing machine, beds, and second toilet are upstairs.

京都らしい設えと立地

ステンドグラスが町家に合っていない。 お風呂が和風ではない。 道から入る木の格子戸の開け閉めがうるさいと隣りね住民からクレームをつけられました。戸の先にクッション材などを取り付けられては如何でしょう。

Très belle maison avec beaucoup de charme. Les vélos étaient fort appréciables , et les informations très bien détaillées!

La maison donne sur une avenue passante. Il est préférable de prévoir des boules quies pour bien dormir, ce qui fut notre cas .
