The owner is very approachable, he goes the extra mile of asking how we are and offering a space for our luggage in case we would want to leave it if we need to travel around the area. Breakfast is available free of charge -toasts, cherry tomatoes and spreads. Coffee and tea is always available as well. Japanese breakfast is offered for an extra charge but we did not avail it. Room amenities were complete as well, there even is an extension available.

Very clean, cozy and comfortable place. The hosts always made sure we had mineral water in our room, and new towels everyday, even if we never asked for it.

This was an absolutely magnificent stay with the best amenities and support anyone could've asked for. Haruka and her husband were immensely helpful and attentive, going above and beyond in giving us tips and guidance, and always keeping us supplied with amenities. The house had more amenities than I've seen anywhere else - in addition to towels and linens, there was also shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes and even makeup remover. We didn't use the kitchen very much as we were out and about a lot, but there were lots of spices and basic cooking supplies available, and we appreciated the toaster oven and coffee maker a lot. The bed was beautifully comfortable and soft, as were the pillows and comforters. The whole house was very clean and the tiny garden instilled a nice sense of calm, while at the same time we were very close to the metro station, allowing us to get around easily every day. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, as well as a vending machine right outside the house. We've never felt more at home anywhere else.

Amazing location, in Gion, close to transportation but also very quiet with lots of great restaurants. We stayed in villa 1 with a deep ceramic bath. The Machiya is well stocked with a simple kitchen and microwave for breakfast. Love the little walk down to Tatsumi bridge and river (less than 100m) Familymart is 100m away and laundry service 2min walk. Staff were lovely and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place.

It’s in a quite area where you can reach there by bus only. Bus runs very frequently but it takes 1 hour to go to city. There are markets and restaurants. Some close early. Closest pub is 15 min by walk. Room is super cozy, they offer free bikes. There is venting machine outside.
