Kumano House

古い日本家屋という感じが逆に新鮮で、特に子供達にとって良い経験になったと思いました。 チェックインからチェックアウトまでスタッフと対面することなく出来るので、気持ちがラクでした。

コップがヌルッとしてて、使う前に洗いました。（きっと前の宿泊客が丁寧に洗っていなかったんだと思います。） あと、ゴミ箱のゴミの回収が出来てなかったのが1箇所ありました。 そして、ティッシュが置かれてなかったのが少し残念でした。

Its a simple well appointed older japanese home and very well located.

The shower room is a bit chilly but we were there in February.

Never tried a machiya, so this time (my 2nd time in Kyoto), I decided to try one. The place is nice, about 20 mins walking from Sanjusangendo, which was a main destination of this trip. The house was in a good shape and clean. Everything we needed was there. We cooked breakfast and did the washing at ease. Heating worked well, no problem sleeping through winter nights.

A little pity there were no tree in the tsuboniwa. I understand they cannot maintain a garden without rising cost. The main problem was that the toilet and bath room were both in the back of the house. And the lobby leading there were OPEN. Both toilet and bath were modern, but the walls were so thin I had to wear my woolen hat when p**ping. The hot bath felt great, stepping out of it was another thing. But I guess it is expected at a machiya. Should be way better if it was in summer. So I still think I will recommend this place to friends.

C’est une maison typiquement japonaise, avec beaucoup de recoins, tatamis, endroits de prière, etc. J’y retournerai. Le supermarché Fresno est recommandé avec beaucoup de poissons frais. La gare est à 1km.

Il faut sortir au froid ( l’hiver) pour aller à la toilette et à la douche. En taxi, on arrive à une impasse et il faut finir à pied. C’était difficile à trouver même pour le taxi.
