We had a lovely time being in Kyoto and also at the Machiya, it was fantastic to explore the house and get a taste of an authentic traditional home. The samurai armor was obviously the highlight and the reason why we booked in Gojozaka, but the rest of the interior was just as intriguing and elegant. Thank you so much for having us! ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment. We're glad you liked the house and its style and decoration. We're also happy that your experience was a lovely one.
Our stay at the 'Samurai' Machiya house met our expectations for a Japanese styled home experience, conveniently located, and comfortable enough for our 8 travellers. The website, booking process, and helpful communication with our host prior to our arrival, provided me with the assurance and confidence with what I had booked so that there were no surprises or logistical dramas. During our short stay we made life-long memories of the beautiful Kyoto district during the sakura season, and this was all aided by our machiya stay. Oh, and not forgetting to mention... the check-in staff were only too happy to assist us with our luggage transfer needs : )
Thank you for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the machiya and will keep life-long memories of Kyoto.
The house is beautifully decorated, and well furnished, including both a Japanese style sitting room and a Western style dining room. Located just off a major street, it was a 20 min walk to the Gion District. Please note that access to the house involves a small set of stairs. Would definitely stay here again!
Thank you for your review and comments. We're glad you liked the place and look forward to welcoming you again.
The house was great! Walkable to many interesting areas. Very close to a market which was super helpful. All the amenities were appreciated, plenty of hot water for 8 people. We used the extra mats and blankets that were provided. I recommend paying attention to the directions provided. Our taxi driver did not drop is on n the right spot which made finding the house challenging. We also found that using the nearby post office address for taxi/Uber pick up was easiest. Highly recommend staying at this home, especially for larger groups!
Thank you very much for your comment. We're glad you liked the machiya house and its location.
This was a wonderful location that was closed to Gion but also very quiet and residential. We loved how tranquil, technical, and aesthetic the home was. Will stay at this location again in the future.
