Summary: Truly unique and lovely spot, with a host who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Great ammenities and location as well - comfortabIe rooms and convenient laundry. I highly recommend Samurai Machiya should you visit Kyoto!

Leanne H. Sep 28, 2025 06:41:52 AM

Summary: Our stay was very comfortable for two families, 9 guests in total. The kitchen was well appointed. Was a little tricky navigating to the residence with the taxi drop off location, but with some help from some locals we found it. Was a very lovely area, with a train station near by for handy travel into the Gion district. The temple just down the road was a hidden gem, not busy with tourists.

Andrew S. Aug 31, 2025 10:02:57 AM

Summary: Amazing house! Everyone loved it, and I found out after a friend of mine had stayed there, so the word is out on how great it is. Very comfortable for our group of two adults and four adult kids. We made breakfast every morning with food from the Fresco nearby, and the Indian and Udon noodle restaurants a few blocks away were really good! We would definently stay here again!

Ryan B. Feb 10, 2025 09:09:33 AM

Summary: This house was a comfortable and clean property. The feel is authentic. Located close to a train station for ease of transport. Great place to stay.

Summary: The house is beautiful (pictures are very accurate) and was a great base for exploring Kyoto. The house is perfectly renovated, combining old world charm and modern functionality. It’s in a great area – feels like you are really « living « in a typical neighborhood in Kyoto, yet extremely easy to get anywhere given proximity to the Tofukuji train station. House is well organized, thoughtfully set-up, and everything works. We stayed in the winter and the under floor radiant heating on the lower floor was especially nice. Good bathrooms and the main kitchen/living room area is especially welcoming and where we spent most of our time. Akiko (owner) and Jenny from the agency were extremely responsive, helping us with the luggage shipping, etc. Highly recommend !

Summary: My family enjoyed the sense of staying in an authentic Japanese home. The facilities, furnishings and neighborhood required adaptations, none of which were particularly onerous. The location is within walking distance of beautiful shrines, temples and parks. Recommended for physically active cultural explorers.

Lori S. Sep 2, 2024 01:13:46 PM

Summary: The house was amazing exactly as promised online. Great kitchen, has a place for laundry and when my son left his wedding ring…they found a way to send it back. Amazing location to walk to a train or 7-11 or sushi and I took many morning walks to see shrines and historic sites.

Richard C. Apr 15, 2024 02:11:55 AM

Summary: This home is a real gem and easily accommodated our large family. It is in a great location within walking distance of the Tofukuji station, and not far from Kyoto station either. It was a perfect home-base for our travels throughout the greater Kyoto area for the week. The owner (Akiko-san) was very supportive and accommodating too. The house is well cared for and we all enjoyed the traditional, artistic decor, and the modern conveniences. Highly recommend!

Kimberly G. Apr 15, 2024 01:23:17 AM

Summary: We loved staying in this beautiful home. Akiko was awesome about answering any questions before we arrived. Also helping us with forwarding our luggage. Our group of 6 had plenty of room to spread out with 2 full bathrooms and a large kitchen. We also loved how close we were to the train station -5 mins. Also there are stores really close for getting beverages and snacks for your stay. The house is well decorated and a true gem. We will highly recommend Akiko and her properties.

Beth C. Jan 2, 2024 12:32:09 PM

Summary: Our family of my husband and I and adult children stayed here for 4 nights. The prep for how to find and advance communication was excellent (including helping us with a Christmas Day dinner reservation we were struggling to make from the USA before we arrived). We loved the blend of rooms with tatami mats and western beds. The kitchen had a large table and as noted in the listing, rice maker, pot for hot water, pots, pans and dishes. We loved the tatami room with the Samari. We loved the heated toilet seat and the shower had plenty of warm water. The location is wonderful--in a neighborhood near small stores for basic groceries (7/11, Food Mart, and several others) and the subway. I had one questions re a location we were going to and received an answer right away. I highly recommend and would stay here again.
