Our stay at Gekkoan was nothing short of exceptional! Their lovely staff took such great care of us and made sure every little detail was just perfect. Breakfast and dinner were amazing and had us try authentic Japanese food of the highest quality. We've never experienced such hospitality and friendliness at any place we've stayed at, and we will remember this wonderful experience for a long, long time!

BenTen Residences offer a Japanese machiya accommodations in the heart of Higashiyama, Kyoto. Yasaka Shrine is 7 minutes on foot, while Kiyomizu Temple is a 14-minute stroll.

A fabulous location and I loved the fact that we were staying in a typical Kyoto townhouse. I’ve dropped a mark for comfort, but that’s really because of the Japanese furniture and, in truth, we loved this aspect of the accommodation. The managers went out of their way to help us. Highly recommended.

Offering private accommodations, Kyomachiya Suite Rikyu is a Japanese-style machiya townhouse centrally located in the Higashiyama ward of Kyoto.

I would highly recommend this property. The location was great to stroll the Gion area and it was easy to catch an Uber for farther trips. We loved the traditional style of the house. The property was very clean and you could tell that attention was given to the decor and the products provided. The kitchen and washing machine were helpful. I really appreciated meeting the host and the sample itinerary provided was above and beyond. Thank you for making our stay in Kyoto even better than we imagined!

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental.

    Kyo Kozo is a lovely Japanese style holiday house. Lovely and spacious with 2 beds in both rooms, 1 room is Japanese inspired with futon beds with the other standard beds. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Kozo left us plenty of snacks and food to get us started. Very clean house and was cleaned during our 3 night stay.
