Clean, well designed, traditional but new Kyoto machiya. Good opportunity to experience Japanese life. Especially enjoyed the tiny courtyard garden. Only issue was the water pressure which was lacking. Will stay again.

넘 만족스런 장소였어요~ 부모님 모시고 가는 여행이라 신중하게 고른 숙소였는데 너무 만족하셨어요~ 사진과 같이 깔끔하고요~ 집안에 조그마한 정원이있는데 새소리도 들리고~ 침구상태도 최상이었어요~ 위치는 교토역주변이어서 관광지 이동하기도 편했구요~ 조용한 동네라서 호텔과는 다른 경험할수있어서 좋았어요~ 부모님께서 교토 숙소가 기억에 남는다고 여러번 말씀하시네요~ 좋은추억 만들수있어서 좋았습니다
