We loved everything.

Quaint quirky ryokan. We loved it really friendly. We loved the Japanese breakfasts. Great location. It is a shared bathroom but we were happy with that. A fabulous bath!

Unbelievable perfect traditional old Japanese house experience. We love breakfast there

Never getting to use the bathroom but that was my fault since I always come back so late. Luckily there’s a bathhouse a 1 minute away from the Ryokan!

I LOVE the style it’s been kept in and how nice the staff was during my stay. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and they always ask if there’s something you can’t beforehand. It was such a relaxing place to stay after a day’s worth of traveling. Thank you so much!

Very nice room with traditional furniture. The place was very cozy and clean. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended if not too sensible concerning privacy.

The originality did come at the slight cost of some comfort. In the smallest room it was a hard to move around or stand up and I added some layers of blankets underneath the futon. That said, everything else 100% made up for it and I’d stay here again, maybe in one of the bigger rooms! Worth it.

The original architecture, the atmosphere and the lovely staff are all amazing. Be sure to take the home made breakfast when you stay.

If you are a large person you may struggle as the house and rooms can be on the smaller side and there are no chairs or beds (tatami and futons)

Super traditional property, lovely Japanese town house. Feels very immersive and historical

A bit cold during the winter months.

Amazing experience in a traditional Kyoto machiya. The staff was so sweet and the breakfast was excellent.

The house is not really sound-proof so we could hear people upstairs (that's why there's no TV). Please be considerate when staying in the ryokan (earplugs are provided for light-sleepers). Also to note: The room could really only fit max number of people it states. Three of us stayed in Gengetsu Room, and with the futons all laid out it became a bit crowded. The room would become too crowded if it houses max. people with multiple large luggages. Recommend to people who travel light (with one luggage pp), or try not to maximise it.

The ryokan is a gem itself. A japanese house built in 1912 in good condition, making it a perfect place to experience true Japanese architecture / home / life. We can tell the owner/staff take great care of this majestic house. We really like the bathtub and enjoy bathing in the water of great quality - make sure you try it! The breakfast is exceptional, comes with a lot of small dishes in beautifully crafted utensils and cutlery. Also the ryokan is very close to Gojo subway station and bus stops.

No complaints :) Only since it is a traditional home the walls are very thin so keep that in mind when you are staying.

I LOVED it! The staff were exceptional, the facilities was traditional, and I felt so welcomed!!

Atmospheric Machiya stay with a feeling of Old Kyoto and an exceptional breakfast. The 4 rooms vary considerably in size and features. Ask for one of the rooms with tatami mat floors.

The location is close to the transportation (Bus&Train). The room was very clean. I stayed in both the Japanese room & Western room. Staying there made me feel like visiting family. The bed was comfy. The bathroom & toilet is clean. The breakfast was simple and nice. Even though the house is old but I didn't have any issues with the noise.

Everything about it is so authentic. The interiors of the old house have been well preserved. I especially loved the bath. It also is right smack in the middle of everything. Only a five minute walk from the nearest bus stop that conveniently takes you to the shopping center of the city.

Location and Breakfast is excellent

It may have some noise when people walking around in the house, but this should be expected. Throughout the stay, I personally didn't feel the noise annoy that much

A real transitional ryokan, with friendly staff and clean environment. Had a tranditional japanese breakfast by local lady.

One of the most unique places I have ever stayed while traveling. The staff are attentive and very kind. Make sure to opt in for the breakfast and you will be served in your room with a delicious meal. If you are bored of look alike hotel rooms, consider experiencing the ryokan here!

Absolutely beautiful

It is quite noisy with the traffic and the thin walls making it loud inside. Thankfully, they provided earplugs. It was quite cold inside, especially in the communal areas.

It was nice to experience staying at a traditional Japanese accommodation. The bed was comfy and the room was large. It was close to the subway and bus stop (about 5 minutes walk) and had lots of food options around. The breakfast was yummy and a nice way to experience Japanese culture.
