The south-facing house has been completely renovated, preserving its traditional character while adding modern comfort and insulation. From the balcony, drink in hand, you can watch the day fade behind the mountains in the west. ## Description of the house On the ground floor, there is a kitchen / dining room, Japanese bedroom (two futons) with sliding windows, western-style bathroom, restroom and shower room as well. Upstairs, there is a Japanese room with tokonoma and balcony, and a western bedroom with a double bed. Both rooms have a row of windows looking out over Kyoto. Only houses certified as traditional machiya can offer holiday rentals in this area, and Munetada House is one of the few that are licensed to do this. Please note: owing to its wood construction, we are obliged to make this a strictly non-smoking house. ## The neighborhood The house is just a few metres from Yoshidayama Park and the captivating shrine buildings nestled among its trees. A short stroll will take you along shady lanes to Kurodani and Shinnyodo temples. Further on, Ginkakuji and the Philosopher's Path are 20 minutes' walk away. Take another direction and you are soon among the bustling streets around Kyoto University. The Heian Shrine is a 15-minute walk to the south. Local shops and a public bath are close by, and the nearest supermarket is a 10-minute walk. The last 50 meters of the approach are up quite a steep hill, making it unsuitable for children's buggies or those with mobility problems. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Tokonoma (alcove) ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping ### Location highlights - In the city center ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 797 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Checkin 15:00-19:00 ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old world tranquility I was traveling with my two young adult sons. We appreciated the simplicity of the home and its original craftsmanship with enough modern convenience to make our stay very comfortable. It was not too far from the center of town and had lovely shrines just a few meters up the hill. The host was very helpful familiarizing us with the amenities. We would stay here again for sure. We loved Kyoto. ##### joyce b. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria C. Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Traditional House The house is a beautiful traditional Kyoto house with nice old furniture. The rooms were good sized and it was great to have 2 bathrooms and a washing machine. The neighborhood is really out of the way from all the main shopping and touristy areas. This is a plus if you don't want to be around the crowds. The neighborhood is really scenic and quiet. We walked to the main areas (about 25 minutes) but the 206 bus is only a 5 minute walk (and conveniently located near the 7-Eleven). The Taxi Go app came in handy when we left to go to Kyoto station since suitcases are frowned upon on the local bus. My only complaint was I slept in the futon room downstairs and there were no linens. I contacted thru VRBO the first day and got no response. Aside from that, this was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it. ##### Victoria C. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh L.

Convenient access to Eastern Kyoto but a 20 minute walk to the train station. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79496d06-1408-4601-a9bd-5007f27c0e88-1753216076055.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Josh L.
