This house was in a great location! We were able to walk the Gion District as well as cross the river and shop the Nishiki Market area. For others who might consider staying here, please know that the house is small. If you are tall or big, this might not be a great choice. You also can hear EVERYTHING from the people staying below. As simple as a sneeze can be heard upstairs. So if you want privacy, or you are a loud person, this location might not be for you. Booking and communication was great and super easy. Lots of directions on how everything works which was nice. Again, such a great location.

Memorable place to stay!
This traditional Japanese home was exactly how we envisioned it. It was clean, the floors were heated, an unexpected surprise. Very clean and comfortable. Right in the heart of Gion, so many restaurants and things to see and do. Great for couples or families, highly recommended it!

Just ok. Yes the location is great. But the place itself is kind of underwhelming for the price. Nobody checks you in and after a long day of travel it’s a bummer to have to figure everything out yourself without any human interaction. The place is smaller than the pictures look. The set up is just not that comfortable for the price. The open air tub isn’t that useable as it’s in a bedroom and not a bath area. The toilet and shower space is small and the outdoor table is unusable in colder seasons like November. It’s also awkward that one bedroom is outside the rest of house and other bedroom shares wall with toilet & is super small. The washer/dryer worked great!

Nice clean house. Too expensive compared to hotels in area. Great area close to shrines, restaurants, and subways. Not enough privacy shades in 2nd bedroom separated from main living area.

Let me start off by saying the location was excellent. Mostly walkable to Major sites. That was the great thing. The communication was on point as well. Now the negative, the Japanese style bed was like sleeping on rocks, literally. My hips were bruised from sleeping on my sides. This room was separated by a walkway outside. This means anytime you needed to use the bathroom you have to walk outside. This really sucks if it’s in the middle of the night. Additionally it was raining, a lot, so that was a negative. The rooms were tiny, ceilings low. Pictures advertised weren’t on point so this was deceiving. The main area living space was very small so we could barely enjoy being together when taking breaks from long hikes in the heat. There was a small spider in one of the beds. It was muggy and humid indoors. There was a lack of pillows and just overall comfort. I don’t like to be a negative person and say bad things but I have to be fair to others with fair warning.

We loved this Japanese style suite! The room is delicately renovated that can accommodate up to 4 people. It’s also relaxing to have a quite time at the Japanese style room.

An amazing machiya style house located in the heart of Gion. We spotted geishas walking down the street while wandering around the neighborhood. Super interesting experience and two thumbs up for the relaxing bath salt and deep bathtub!

Everything about this property exceeded my expectations from the style and quality of the place to the peace and quiet, given it was in the heart of the Gion quarter. I also enjoyed the amenities (including access to a washing machine which was a joy in the middle of a trip!) and the excellent communication from the manager Yuko, who was kind enough to organise a taxi for us when we were leaving. I'd definitely rebook this place.

Great place
It is a beautiful place that is close to everything, has plenty of space and a fluent check in/check out process. Highly recommended! The host replied email really fast and the whole communication process is very smooth. We stayed at the second-floor. The first floor entrance does have a lot of mosquitos so be careful. Overall we are very satisfied with the place.
