BenTen Residences offer a Japanese machiya accommodation in the heart of Higashiyama, Kyoto. Yasaka Shrine is 7 minutes on foot, while Kiyomizu Temple is a 14-minute stroll. BenTen Residences was featured as 1 of the Top 10 vacation homes in 2017 by Dwell. Free WiFi access is provided throughout the entire property.

This was exceptional accommodation and a wonderful stay. We were met by the manager who gave us detailed information about the property; in addition there were clear written instructions regarding the various appliances. Of particular interest to us were the washing machine/dryer, the water heater and the room heater controllers. Each worked beautifully and with the space, 2 bathrooms and underfloor heating throughout, we had every facility we could have wanted. The home is furnished beautifully and the beds and bedding were first class. The daily service provided at Ben Ten is also wonderful - every day the bathrooms were cleaned, our towels were replaced and rubbish was removed. In addition, the location of the property is amazing - in the heart of old Kyoto/ Higashiyama and just a few blocks from Gion; a 2 minute walk to a great bus route; and within 5 minutes walk of 3 convenience stores and a supermarket!!! To end our stay, the manager arranged for a taxi for us and came to help us with instructions to the taxi driver. This is impressive accommodation with great service and we unreservedly recommend it.

    Hosts are really nice and willing to answer all your questions. More tourist info all around the lobby and even a neighborhood map in the room. Their rental bike is a great option, though bus stop for train station and Kinkakuji is nearby. Fully equipped self service kitchen, all well signed. Great common dining area. Very clean shared bathroom, as well each of the shower cabinets. Posibility to leave your luggage before checkin or after checkout. Convenient store around the corner, supermarkets and many restaurants just a walk away.

Mitsuki Kyoto was an amazing experience and I would have to say, the wonderful host (Yoko), definitely made our stay there truly exeptional.
