We are at this Machiya on our recent holiday to Kyoto. The host Yuki introduced the place to us and we got to make macha together. It was a lovely place to stay and the outdoor bath was really nice especially as it is winter time now. It is located near Kyoto station and Gojo station. We also had the traditional breakfast which was delicious. Overall we were glad we picked this place for our stay at Kyoto and would highly recommend it!!

The location is easy to get to, but the beauty of the property is the property itself. The unit we were in was lovely and well cared for. The indoor and outdoor tubs were luxurious, the traditional breakfast was the perfect way to end our stay! Our hosts were lovely, welcoming, and thoughtful in the offering! We would highly recommend this ryokan!

Fantastic accommodations! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Machiya Zeniyacho. It was perfect for two couples. Spotless, with impeccable service and some really nice bonus surprises. Very responsive to our questions. The breakfast was delicious, as well. We'd stay here again for sure.

The property was beautiful! The staff were very attentive and helpful. They have thought of every detail and even checked in with us to make sure we had slept well and didn't need anything. Each room had temperature control and both fridges had a supply of complimentary beverages. We are traveling and staying several different accommodations, and this one is by far our favorite.

It was so much fun experiencing the entire home. Getting to enjoy the solitude of a private outdoor bath with a garden was a highlight. Each room had its own climate unit to customize temperature comfort. Beds were plush and warm. Fridge was well stocked with cold drinks. Property was clean and well decorated. Would stay here again, great place to stay with a group.

Outstanding Machiya in Kyoto

From the welcome matcha to the helpful tips for the area to the comforts of the accommodation this was our favorite place that we stayed during our trip to Japan. There were high-end appliances in the Machiya and both baths were perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing in Kyoto. There was a train only 7 minutes away. We took this to access the Keifuku Randen Tram line to visit Arahiyama bamboo forest and monkey park. The monkey park was fun, but a long hike up a hill. We enjoyed Tantanmen Ebisu Emmachi for a quick cheap dinner of ramen and fried chicken within walking distance from the machiya. We also visited the Gion district.

Incredibly relaxing experience

We were greeted by someone who was very helpful in explaining the property to us, before serving us tea. The indoor and outdoor baths are simply incredible. Was able to read in the bath outside while it was even snowing, and it was amazingly comfortable. The space is very large especially for Japan, with two floors including two bedrooms ( they will put out cots for you if you need more than the king size bed there). Otherwise the second bedroom is a large empty room with padded flooring. There's also a living room with a TV and stocked fridge, and everything inside the fridge (Coke, water, juices, beer, Saki) was complimentary. Highly recommend.

Beware - this house has rats. You won't be able to sleep because they will be scurrying through the walls 1ft from your head. This was supposed to be a ultra luxurious stay and accomodations were otherwise great but not dealing with a pest issue is a black flag against the host. Extremely unsatisfied.
