“Very comfortable stay for our family of six” Our family of six stayed here for three nights. We arrived in the early evening, and the townhouse was very easy to find, thanks to the directions that had been sent before our trip. We were greeted by someone who was very helpful in getting us settled. The townhouse was as nice as the pictures looked, but I was a little worried about traffic noise because it is situated on a busy street. However, this didn't bother us at all, the way the floor plan is set out. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bathroom was beautiful, especially the shower room. The laptop, WiFi, and washer/dryer were all essential for us. The twin beds were very comfortable and all of the linens for the beds and futons were clean and crisp. Having a grocery store around the corner was very convenient.

“Authentic Kyoto Machiya Experience” The best value you can get--authentic Kyoto machiya experience with Wabi-Sabi style and modern comfort. Beautifully renovated and appointed--exponentially better than western-style hotels. Plenty of space for a family. The house even had a laptop for guests' use! While I live in the United States now, I grew up in Kyoto. So, it was a pure pleasure to stay at this machiya and feel the spirit of Kyoto--inside the house and out in the neighborhood. Great location and excellent professional hospitality services. The care and the attention that we received before, during, and after our stay are exceptional.

The Gion House (Upper Level) Prime Gion Location

Kyoto house

  • 2 bedrooms
  • 1 bathroom
  • sleeps 4

“The perfect place to stay in Kyoto” I can’t say enough good things about this apartment, and the folks who own and manage it. My husband and I have now stayed there twice, the second time with my parents in tow, and hope to do so every time we visit Kyoto. The location couldn’t be more perfect: tucked away on a quiet side street in the Gion district, within an easy walk of many shops and restaurants in the immediate area, or a (still short) stroll across the river to reach the department stores and Nishiki Market, not to mention just a few steps away from Kenin-ji Temple, one of the most beautiful Zen temples in all of Japan. The apartment itself is a perfect combination of thoughtfully designed, lovely and traditional Japanese elements and modern convenience, such as heated floors in the bathroom and separate climate control for each room. A spacious tatami living room with a large, sliding , stained-glass window and traditional shrine forms the centerpiece, and is plenty large enough for four people to relax or have a meal together at the low table. The bedrooms are a good size for Japan, nicely decorated, and both the futons and the western bed are comfortable. The bathroom has both a western shower and Japanese stool-and-bucket set up, as well as a large and very relaxing tub with a little window beside it. There is plenty of hot water, plenty of towels, and a separate toilet room away from the bathing area equipped with one of the ubiquitous and wonderful Japanese “washlets.” Everything is maintained in excellent condition, and is spotlessly clean when you arrive. But best of all (at least for us) is the well-appointed kitchen, not just an afterthought in this wonderful apartment. Most of the in Japan, the “kitchen” of a rental property is just a small refrigerator and microwave, a rice cooker and a coffee machine; but here you have a reasonably large stove, an oven/microwave, and enough equipment (Calphalon pots & pans/kitchen tools/tableware) to make a real meal. In addition to the ridiculously amazing food shopping at Nishiki and in the department store basements, there are a few small and well-stocked grocery stores within a couple of minutes’ walk of the apartment. As much as we like the apartment itself, the owner and local manager may be the best thing about the property. They have thought of everything to make your stay here easy and enjoyable, including instructions on how to make sure taxis can find the place! The check-in/out process is smooth and efficient, there is a book in the apartment with an extensive list of useful information about the property and the area, and they themselves are accessible and responsive in the event you need any assistance or have questions. My husband and I have rented apartment around the world and I can honestly say that the Gion House is our favorite, and the best overall experience we’ve had. The people couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. On our second stay, an unforeseen circumstance arose that my husband’s basic Japanese was not enough to handle, and both the owner and manager went well above and beyond to assist us. In short, we highly HIGHLY recommend the Gion Apartment to anyone who wishes to spend time in the heart of Old Kyoto. It is a truly unique and special experience.

“Amazing place!” My family and I absolutely fell in love with this place. We couldn't have found a better place to stay. The location is amazing. It's right by the street where all the geishas and maikos enter the tea houses so we got to see and take pictures of some of them! The place is also right by the shopping area and several famous temples. For the first 2 days we didn't even have to use the bus or train! As for the machiya itself, it was gorgeous and we really felt like we were in a traditional Japanese house. Having 2 full bathrooms on both floors was also really convenient when you are traveling with more than 2 people, especially in the mornings. Our friends who have lived in Japan for close to 10 years recommended staying at a licensed machiya and we are really happy that we took their advice! Highly recommend you stay here!

“Accommodation with character and convenience” The machiya has been well renovated to preserve the interest of the old house, but provide all the comforts and mod-cons that one would expect. The location offers a central, convenient base from which to see Kyoto. Communication with the owners was prompt and helpful. The maps, appliance guides, restaurant tips and local information provided make life easy and interesting. We stayed there with our toddler; the accommodation worked well and Miho was more than helpful. For families, there is a playground just around the corner and it's only a few minutes walk to the subway. Highly recommend this property and we would happily stay there again.

The Gion House is Centrally-Located in Gion
The Gion House was an important part of our visit in Kyoto! Wonderful!

Mr Tanaka san was a splendid host since the first time we contact with him. He gave us all the facilities for our unforgettable stay in Kyoto. House brings all the comforts you need when you travel without losing the delicacy of Japanese buildings. We feel at home from the first moment. The location is perfect. Ideal to rest after long days of visits and enjoy the city. I hope we can repeat the experience. … see more
Gion Kyuraku - Traditional Luxury in located Machiya in Gion | Kiyomizu, Kyoto!
Enhanced our stay in Kyoto, the perfect blend of old and new

We had a fabulous stay at this amazing property, which has a lot of space (for Japan) for a family of 5 including a small garden and a tiny roof deck. It made us all feel much more like we were having a Japanese "experience" than would any hotel, and gave us enough room to spread out when we needed space from each other. The property is immaculately presented, with beautiful art and extras to enhance the experience further, plenty of books about Japan and a fully equipped modern kitchen, a washer/dryer - staying for a week it gave us an opportunity to wash, cook and feel much more at "home". Whilst the autumn weather meant that we did not require much in the way of heating, there are air-conditioners in every room, a lovely deep bath and two toilets (we loved the warm seats :-) certainly a novelty for us). The key pad for entry meant that we didn't have to worry out what time we arrived, or looking after and returning keys, and Reiko was more than happy to help us with any questions we had, and helped us to organise the transfer of our luggage. The location in Gion is perfect for tourists - it is walkable to many attractions, and about a 20 minute bus ride to the station. There is a supermarket just steps away, and many places to eat (in and take-away) within a block. It is an neighbourhood with little tourists around, yet so close to everything. All was exactly as described, and the space was perfect for the 5 of us - it would be great for couples who could share the cost, as it is quite expensive. We highly recommend this property … see more

Senraku - Beautifully Restored House in Central Kyoto! - Free WiFi
Little secret gem in the heart of the city.

Reiko and Thomas really looked after us during our stay in Kyoto. The house was absolutely beautiful and there were little notes everywhere to make sure we got the most out of our stay. The facilities were excellent and everything is just so pretty, and yet very approachable and practical. Its tucked down a little alley and when I was booking I was worried that it might feel a little seedy, but quite the opposite. It was like we had our own little secret place hidden away from the rest of the city. It was always such a pleasure to turn down our little street at the end of the day and head to Senraku house. My only complaints were that even at only 6'1" tall,I found the doorways unnecessarily low even for japan, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Also even though I didn't think it would be a problem by the time we stayed at Senraku we had been in japan for a 10 days and we had grown accustomed to the joys of a Japanese bath and were a little sorry that there was only a shower. But these really were very minor complaints. Overall the service, location and house itself were just fantastic. Our family (myself my wife and our 2 daughters 6 and 3 yo ) had ample room and just fell in love with the place. It was such a shame to have to leave after only 5 days there. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here and ate dinner at the very cute Japanese fusion restaurant across the road. So Senraku house will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Big thank you to Reiko and Thomas for making our stay so enjoyable. … see more
Amber House Gion in Prime Gion Location
Essence of Kyoto!

I stayed at the Gion House with my family and extended family earlier this month. Staying at the Gion House makes our family feel like we are being transported back in time to the old Kyoto without sacrificing any modern luxury. The location is extremely convenient. It is at the heart of the old district and minutes away from public buses and trains. I will definitely stay there again if I go back to Kyoto! … see more
The Gion House (Upper Level) Prime Gion Location
Memorable stay

My daughter and I stayed in the beautiful Gion House upper floor for five nights in March. Although the weather was chilly, the heated floors, toilet seat (!), duvet and thermostat kept us very comfortable. The location is wonderfully convenient and the manager was exceedingly helpful in assisting us with dinner reservations, shipping suitcases,and answering our questions . The owner provided many helpful links to activities and restaurants and the guests' binder in the apartment contained pertinent information. In the middle of bustling Kyoto, the house is located on a quiet side street and a rare chance to enjoy an authentic Japanese home. We will return! … see more
