"I’d describe Kokonoe Machiya as a truly wonderful place to stay in Kyoto. The service was impeccable from start to finish, and the host created an atmosphere that felt genuinely warm and welcoming, almost like being at home. What made the experience especially unique was the beautiful blend of Italian and Japanese hospitality, which gave the stay a personal and memorable touch. The location is another major strength. The property is set in a quiet, local neighborhood, allowing guests to...

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"This was our favorite hotel on our 10 day trip to Japan. The onsen was amazing, the massage chairs hit the spot when available, and we enjoyed the free coffee / ice cream / ramen daily. We did not add breakfast. The check in area can get hectic, but they had plenty of staff and things moved along nicely. Highly recommend!"
