“Traditional Japanese”
We found this townhouse to be very assessable and close to the train station and shopping district. Had some instructions in English for working appliances. Very clean. And helpful staff at reception.

“Shoubuan Machiya Residence Inn”
this was our first time to choose staying in a Japanese style house. Surprisingly, it was a very pleasant experience. The house is well-equipped but it was a bit cold even with all the heaters on.

Response from the manager Thank you very much for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us in Shoubu-an. Traveling can sometimes mean giving up some of the comforts of privacy and your own space, but we hope you were able to spread out and relax in our machiya. The low tables and seating do take a bit of getting used to, so we hope it did not cause you any troubles. Thank you again, and we hope to see you in Kyoto again!

Response from the manager Thank you very much for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in Shoubu-an. We are also glad to hear that our staff was able to be of help to you, and apologize for any inconveniences that the problematic internet connection may have caused. As can be seen in natural hot springs, the water naturally has minerals that can build up or appear as a slight "stain" on tiles and bathtubs. We take the cleanliness of our facilities very seriously, and would like to assure you that it is the build-up of natural minerals in the water. Thank you again, and we hope you will consider us in the future if are even back in Kyoto! From all the staff at Machiya Residence Inn
