Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho

Our stay at Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho was absolutely incredible! The service was fantastic, and the amenities were amazing. Our host went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment during our stay. He even organized a delightful tea ceremony for us. Additionally, he was incredibly helpful in guiding us through Kyoto, recommending restaurants and places of interest that we couldn’t miss. Considering our first time in Kyoto, we wouldn’t have chosen any other place.

We had such a wonderful stay at Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the gentleman who checked us in. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but he was one of the kindest and most genuine people we met during our trip to Japan. He took the time to show us around the property and even taught us how to prepare traditional matcha tea. It wasn’t just a demonstration it felt like sharing a piece of Japanese culture with us. His hospitality, warmth, and passion made us feel so welcome and turned our stay into something truly special. The property itself was beautiful, cozy, and full of charm. We especially loved the bathroom-it was gorgeous and one of our favorite parts of the house! Staying in a traditional Kyoto machiya for a night was a wonderful experience that we will always remember. The only small downside was that the price for that particular night felt a little high, but thanks to the incredible hospitality and unique experience, we still left with wonderful memories. A huge five-star thank you to the gentleman who welcomed us and made our stay so memorable. He truly deserves recognition for going above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable stay in Kyoto.

We are at this Machiya on our recent holiday to Kyoto. The host Yuki introduced the place to us and we got to make macha together. It was a lovely place to stay and the outdoor bath was really nice especially as it is winter time now. It is located near Kyoto station and Gojo station. We also had the traditional breakfast which was delicious. Overall we were glad we picked this place for our stay at Kyoto and would highly recommend it!!

Staff was very hefpful. When we accidentally triggered the fire extinguisher, they were very kind to clean up the mess in Machiya very quickly. Location is also very convenient, walkable to Kyoto station
