Authentic Traditional Experience
“Staying at Kyo Machiya Makuya offered me a truly authentic experience. The rooms feature beautiful tatami mats and traditional futons made my stay unique and nice. I loved the cozy atmosphere created by the paper screens and sliding doors. Even though it took a night or two to adapt to sleeping on futons, I found it to be a great way to immerse myself in Japanese culture.” view full review
Clean and Modern Amenities
“I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the bathrooms at Kyo Machiya Makuya. Despite being a traditional Japanese house, the facilities included power showers that felt refreshing after a long day of exploring Kyoto. The shared bathrooms were well-maintained, and I always found them to be available whenever I needed to use them.” view full review
Free Bicycle Rentals
“One of my favorite aspects of my stay was the availability of free bicycles for guests. It added a fun and engaging way to explore the fine sights of Kyoto at my own pace. Riding through the beautiful neighborhoods and winding pathways, I enjoyed a different perspective of the city that I couldn't have experienced by foot or bus.” view full review
Delicious Breakfast Experience

It felt custom-made and was a wonderful way to start my morning. I appreciated the variety of options offered, and it was a good experience to enjoy breakfast in such a beautiful and serene setting.” view full review
