A Kyoto Gem

Great location, very comfortable, excellent communication, and beautifully appointed. We loved the neighborhood with a great market, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and of course, easy access to the subway. We highly recommend.

What a gem!

Uta Yomi Dori is the perfect base to explore Kyoto. It's close to the Gion district and the Philosopher's Path. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this well appointed home offers subtle luxury with Japanese sensibility. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto!

The best experience

The house kept with the traditional Kyoto style, yet was state-of-the-art modern and spacious. Quiet neighborhood, yet a short walk to main thoroughfares and nightlife. We were sorry to leave.

Clean spacious machiya 25min walk to Gion

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The machiya is clean and spacious however the AC in the main bedroom upstairs is not working well. House manual needs to be more extensive e.g remotes need more translation. Do not use the Dryer function. It will ruin your clothes. Also manager Charlie is not very responsive at all.

Wonderful property in quiet and great location

Property has two bedrooms up and a third room downstairs that can also be used as one with a door that closes. Two full baths, one with a shower and one with a bathtub and shower head. House is well appointed, including a washer and dryer as well as umbrellas and slippers for use. The neighborhood is lovely and very quiet - 5 minute walk to the local grocery store and about 15 to the subway, which is what we used for the week we stayed here. We visited many of the local sites via subway and/or walking. Kitchen has modern appliances and was well equipped - we cooked at least daily. The property was great and perfect for my two adult sons and me - we would stay here again!

Gorgeous spacious home

Just a gorgeous home. We LOVED it! Spacious, beautifully furnished and quiet. The downstairs bathroom was amazing, looking out into the beautifully walled garden. The street was wonderfully quiet but just a 5 minute walk to a busy street with a grocery store & 7-11. This home so enhanced our stay in Kyoto. It was really a peaceful oasis to let us rest up for our sightseeing. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Japan. Our contact was amazing & has been so helpful returning a phone that we left accidentally. Highly recommend.

Hidden Gem!

We visited Kyoto for three days, two nights, and this was the perfect oasis we needed after full days of travel and sight seeing. The pictures do NOT do it justice! Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the property was warm and inviting. Spacious yet cozy, the entire home was thoughtfully adorned and outfitted. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tranquil space to feel like a local.
