Safe neighborhood. Cute traditional Japanese house for fully immersive experience. Check in location is within walking distance to Kyoto Station. They provide luggage forwarding services for a fee, so we could start exploring. Seamless service. ##### Julie Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sven-Ole Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This house is very beautiful and located very close to the former „Kaiserpalast“ and castle „Nijō“. However, to reach it from Kyoto station it is required to take three subway stations and a >10 minutes walk. But you can at least let comfortably transfer your luggage to the house (from Check-in office next to Kyoto station). In conclusion, we would chose it another time when visiting Kyoto as the area is very attractive and a very good starting point for various points of interest. Ramen restaurant is also next by for pleasant evenings. But you can also help yourself by buying very good food in „Life“ shop not far away as the kitchen of the house is also very well equipped. ##### Sven-Ole Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrice Aug 6, 2024 ##### Patrice Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shuk Wun Apr 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I like everything for this Machiya. I mean it. Extremely good. Of course it costs higher than normal and average accomodation. But to me it worths for sure. ##### Shuk Wun Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Vischio-Kyoto-By-GRANVIA.h30990875.Hotel-Information)  > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Gallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Gallery.h9795712.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nohga-Hotel-Kiyomizu-Kyoto.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [THE BLOSSOM KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-BLOSSOM-KYOTO.h76497805.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL M’s EST KYOTO STATION SOUTH](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-Ms-EST-KYOTO-STATION-SOUTH.h23513455.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Kyoto.h37609460.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RICHMOND-HOTEL-PREMIER-KYOTO-EKIMAE.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel M’s Plus Shijo - Omiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ms-Plus-Shijo-Omiya.h16621109.Hotel-Information) > > [Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miyako-Hotel-Kyoto-Hachijo.h26999.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Brighton-Hotel.h919.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Mitsui-Kyoto.h57209082.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information)
