Fantastic place
We stayed with Samurai Steve and it was lovely! The location was very convenient and we used the KH train line often. The office was super helpful in receiving our luggage that was shipped a head. The house was clean and everything was thoughtfully labeled. It was a perfect place for our trip!
Thank you very much for your comment. We're glad you liked the house, its features, and mainly its location.
Beautifully Restored Machiya
My wife and two children had a fabulous time in this stunning Machiya. A bit like Japan itself, this Machiya has a wonderful mix of new and old - the decoration and style of an original Machiya blended with all the mod cons you could ask for. We stayed in December, but the Machiya was not cold. The location is perfect as it is near two Keihan line stations - an express from Shichijō can get you to Osaka relatively quickly, whilst the regular trains can get you to Gion and further north. A day trip to Nara was also very simple from this location. All in all a standout property which I would heartily recommend - just be mindful if you are 6ft you will need to duck in the doorways and up the stairs. Thank you Akiko and Patrick for being part of what I am sure are some long lasting memories for my family! Richard.
Thank you so much for your comment, Richard. We're glad you liked the house and its features, and appreciated its location. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future.
Wonderful stay in Kyoto
Thank you Akiko and Patrick for such a lovely home which was full of mod cons and yet old charm. Spotless and comfortable and we loved the heated floor. The location was excellent with pretty much a 20min walk to major tourist spots. We ate at a few of the recommended restaurants too which was perfect. As a family of four adults the space was ample and two toilets very handy!
Thank you so much for your comment. We're glad you liked the machiya house and hope to have again the pleasure of hosting you in the future.
La situation, l'accès, le confort,... La Beauté en prime
Nous avons passé plus d'une semaine à Kyoto et cette Machiya est idéalement placée, à 10 minutes du temple Kiyomizu-dera, et une vingtaine de minutes du quartier de Gion. Les explications données pour accéder au logement sont d'une clarté rare et précieuse. Tout est là pour notre confort, un lit pour notre aîné au rez-de-chaussée et les futons au 1er, Rien ne manque pour un séjour agréable. Et Joe, le Samouraï du salon est une touche esthétique dépaysante très appréciée. Attention toutefois que ce logement étant situé en contrebas de la rue principale, il faudra y accéder par des escaliers. PS : Un mot de remerciement enfin pour nos hôtes qui ont fait le maximum pour répondre à nos attentes parfois peu conventionnelles et ambitieuses !
Un grand merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes contents que la machiya vous ait plu et que vous y ayez passé un agréable séjour. Et nous sommes heureux d'avoir pu vous aider pour cette réservation dans un restaurant Kaiseki. Au plaisir de vous recevoir à nouveau dans le futur.
Wonderful stay
We stayed one perfect week in the Gojo Samurai Machiya. The place is very quiet and conveniently located. The house is well equipped (high quality material in the kitchen, a fantastic Japanese bathroom). We warmly recommend this place and hope to stay in the same place next time.
Thank you very much for your comment. We're glad you liked the machiya house and enjoyed your stay. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future.
Perfection
Ideal location, beautiful interior design, and amazing staff are only three of the reasons you should stay at this Machiya. We stayed during the heat of summer and the multiple air conditioning units were a life saver. Further, the staff went above and beyond when we needed assistance with an outside matter. Absolutely would return here. 5 Stars.
Thank you for your review. We always try to help our guests the best we can and your satisfaction is our reward!
Corporate Executive
We absolutely loved this property. It had a feeling of true Japanese culture which is exactly what we were looking for. It also was very functional, especially the cooking area. I'm a chef and felt like everything was provided in order to cook a great meal. We liked the location because we felt like we were embedded in a neighborhood community but could walk or taxi, conveniently, wherever we wanted to go. My daughters stayed in the bedroom with two beds and I stayed in the bedroom with the Samurai Steve display, which was really cool! I highly recommend this property. The Russell family
Thank you for your review. Your compliment on the kitchen is especially welcome from another chef! (I am a Sushi Master and love to cook)..!
Beautiful house!!
This machiya property is gorgeously renovated and perfectly located. We loved staying in a historical property in a residential neighbourhood. It made our stay feel more immersed than if we had stayed in a hotel. The house itself is beautifully done and quite modern. Akiko was very responsive and helpful. Strongly recommend!
Thank you so much for your comment.
一期一会
This was the most wonderful vacation of my life and it was even more so wondeful by staying at the Gojo Samurai Machiya. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to allow yourself to be immersed in Japanese culture. Gion, Kiyomizu-dera and Kenninji are with in walking distance. Akiko and Patrick were superb communicators that offered so much information that I litterally felt at home. If you go, please enjoy this Machiya...there is nothing quite like it.
Thank you very much for your review, Bill. We're always pleased to share our enthusiasm and love for Kyoto with our guests!
Incredible Home In Great Location!
Akiko was an incredible host for our family vacation. Her home is truly like living in a museum and so beautiful inside. With a bathroom upstairs and full bath downstairs, we had a very comfortable stay. The location is perfect for walking or catching an Uber. We highly recommend and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Thank you for your review. We're glad you liked the machiya house and enjoyed your stay.
