LondonUtterly charming!
Left on 01/11/2013 for a stay in November 2012
Five people stayed here comfortably - everything you could need, including internet access and a couple of bicycles for the adventurous. Set in a little covered market alleyway - no noise nuisance, and all you could want for everyday food supplies within a few steps, also a nice friendly little coffee shop (which did an interesting salad and toast breakfast), a pretty canal walk, and a gift shop. Walking distance from the train station, the big shrine locally (we were there for a wedding) and the main shopping roads. We all want to go back!
The property is traditionally wooden carpenter built, so it's strictly non smoking, if that matters to you. -

Left on 08/26/2012 for a stay in August 2012
Traditional Japanese home conveniently located next to a subway station and within walking distance to the old town (Gion), parks and temples. The home is within a 200 meter long covered market which adds to the charm and fun of the site. The market is quiet and does not create any noticeable noise in the house. The home contains all of the necessary comforts and is very well kept and clean. The owner is amiable and was extremely helpful in giving us advice on visiting Kyoto.

We went to Kyoto to ... well, does any one need a reason to go to Kyoto? but we timed our trip to coincide with the main floats during Gion festival.
The machiya manager e-mailed me days in advance for our arrival time. We advised her we would arrive at 9:30 and expect to store our luggage at the station until check in time. Whilst on the shinkansen, we were advised that we could drop the bags off as soon as we arrived and return at our leisure. This made it so much easier for us as the day was sunny and 35C. The same excellent service was extended to us on our last day.
We were given maps and advise of local events. Help and direction were only an e-mail, ext or phone call away.
The "river" at the end of the street was a great hit with the children to cool off, they all ditched their shoes and were wading in the stream. You walk past 2 temples on the way to Gion, have your choice of train or bus as both are very close. The townhouse is in a shopping strip so getting food is too easy.
The townhouse also comes with 2 foldable bikes to use but we never got round to it.
It's good for a large group who know each other well as the sliding doors are paper thin (literally) and all sounds carry through the house. We were in the bedroom downstairs and can hear all the children's footsteps above - lucky they go to bed before us.
For us, the house is a much better option than a hotel and the children loves the laptop and internet already in the house. WiFi is also available for our smart phones. -

Left on 02/18/2011 for a stay in November 2010
Staying in Komachiya gave you the opportunity to feel for what it is like to be "living in Kyoto". My wife and I spent two nights there and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's different from normal hotel stay in the way that you can cook your meals (cooking utensils and cutlery are provided) and do your laundry using the state-of-art Japanese washing machine! There're plenty of local stores around Komachiya and so we had no problem getting all the stuff for our Japanese-style hotpot dinner. To make it more fun, we had our hotpot at the tatami sitting room while watching TV. Last but not the least, the super-friendly Japanese host spoke excellent English and gave us very good advice on places to go in the surroundings.

Manchester UKThankyou Komachiya!
Left on 02/18/2011 for a stay in October 2010
Loved Kyoto and loved Komachiya! Was there in October so a bit early for the fall colors but had a great time. Komachiya was really big and nicely done inside and out and the lady who runs it very helpful. Will definitely stay there again next time!

LondonStaying at Machiya Townhouse enhanced my visit to kyoto!
Left on 02/18/2011 for a stay in September 2010
my visit to the beautiful city of kyoto with its temples, shrines and monasteries was made perfect by staying at Kyoto machiya townhouse. Its central position allowed me immediate access to everything Kyoto offered, but i was most impressed with the calmness i felt in this house, due to the exquisite decor and immaculate cleanliness.
The lady who manages this house, Masae, could not have been more helpful and kind, and i'll always choose to stay here when visiting Kyoto again.
