Kiyomizu Machiya Inn

The house had a lovely rustic charm about it, definitely a more traditional feel than other places we stayed! The location was great (once we figured out where it was), with a beautiful temple just a short walk away and plentiful shopping in the surrounding alleys! Also a short walk or bus ride to Gion and other attractions in central Kyoto. The hosts were very welcoming and, although we didn't really use them, gave the impression that they would be very helpful if needed for anything. Overall, perfect for those looking something a bit more traditional whilst retaining the independence of a whole-home let.

For a family of five, sleeping arrangements weren't as described: two beds in one room and three in another, not the three bedroom arrangement advertised (although I'm sure we could have dragged one bed into the third room if we really needed to, though it would have been a tight squeeze). The photos don't really portray the sleeping arrangements well.

Steps away from Yasaka pagoda, immersive cultural experience because it’s located in the heart of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. We love waking up in the morning with no crowds yet and truly enjoy the beautiful streets of Ninenzaka. A short to the majestic Kiyomizu dera. Plenty of traditional restaurants and shops. Staff quick to answer via email and phone call

It might be a challenge with mobility issues because stairs going to the second floor is a bit steep. It was also advertised as 3 bedroom but it’s only 2 bedroom plus a very small study/den. Internet is spotty

Its a fantastic traditional house in a great location right in the middle of the Kiyomizu Dera area - facilities are excellent and although its very busy in the neighbourhood through the day its in a quiet side street and you hear no noise

Its a really quiet street - so quiet that its not that easy to find - google maps didn't offer much support! We got there in the end and it was well worth it but the first time finding it was a little tricky.

Excellent location! Could walk to bus station and some beautiful locations, sights and stores. Was well fitted out with things you’d need for a stay. Lots of towels provided. Grocery store also a short walk away. The washer/dryer facility was a life saver! Thank you. Guest books were a great touch.

There were a few places we felt the cleanliness wasn’t up to scratch.
