Description from owner
Description
A fully renovated machiya style vacation home with three BRs, island kitchen & dining, tea room and bath tub both facing Japanese garden, and fully equipped with high-tech appliance. 3 min to subway/tram station, 5 min to Kawaramachi / Gion by train, a direct access to Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, 13 min taxi from Kyoto station, and 1 min to two supermarkets.
The two-story townhouse consists of a stainless island kitchen in a wide dining area, a living room, a tea room facing a Japanese garden, a spacious entrance hall, an open air wood deck, and a powder/toilet room (with an automatic washer and dryer machine) and a shower/bath room facing the garden on the 1st floor and the master bedroom (either two single beds or a super-king), a tatami room (double), and the center hall (double) on the 2nd floor. The tea room on the 1st floor can be used for a single bedroom if not used for relaxing space to view the small Japanese garden over coffee/tea.
The house is the north part of twin house structure (and independent from the south) and first built in 1930’s as wooden townhouse with its unique twin design at the time. After continuous minor modifications and fixations over several decades since then, the entire building went through its first-time full renovation in 2016 by a collaboration of Kyoto’s top machiya (traditional Kyoto wooden house) renovator and provider HACHISE CO.,LTD. and Kyoto’s entrepreneur architecture, furniture and interior designer FHAMS CO., LTD.

Response from the owner Hello Jessica, I am VERY SORRY that I have somehow missed your note nearly a year in the midst of corona pandemic. I enjoyed speaking with you in Japanese and it was helpful to communicate with your friends as well. I heard Shanghai is doing very well in handling the virus now so do hope that our government will soon lower the restriction for Chinese people and can enjoy meeting with you all again! Meanwhile, please stay safe and health! Kind regards, Shimpei

“A wonderful place to stay in Kyoto”
We stayed at My Pavilion to Arashiyama for a week in October 2019. Our family consists of my wife and I plus two daughters, 12 and 15. We spent a wonderful week in Kyoto and part of that was due to t… More

Response from the owner Hello Ian, thank you for leaving this great and informative review and VERY SORRY to have found this just now! It is so pity that the world has been changed dramatically since then and we are forced to be physically apart from each other. Now in Japan, domestic travelers resumed moving around a bit and I take a couple of them a month but do miss all those coming from outside. But now I do have more time, fortunately during this unhappiness, to make the house a bit cleaner and do a petit renovation so am looking forward to the next chance to welcome your family. Stay safe and healthy! Shimpei

“Great stay in Kyoto”
This was one of the best places we stayed in all of Japan. Shimpei thought of everything one might need. His amenities rivaled some of the nice ryokans we stayed in! The washer/dryer was awesome and t… More

Response from the owner Hi Ferris and Mike, thank you for staying and leaving the review. It was my pleasure to talk with you two at both check in and out. The Thai restaurant is just a couple of months old and I have not tried either the restaurant and the bar. Now I should try both and thank you for valuable information for me and my future guests!

Response from the owner Thank you Miriam for the stay AND spending time to write such a detailed and informative comments which should definitely be beneficial to my future guests! Yes, I also didn't feel like we met for the first time but rather felt meeting a friend I had known already. I sometimes felt like this after talking about several topics over months with guests. I enjoyed all prior conversations with you and thought the questions are all useful for me to understand the concerns of those traveling with kids, which in turn I can better serve similar guests in the future. I know that there should be so many questions as I too wanted to ask many when I planned travelling abroad in my life (but there was nobody at the time without AirBnB...). Glad to learn you like the bed - I spent one month for research and end up with the mix of mattress. Looking forward to see your family or your friends sometime in the near future. Didn't know that you cooked wagyu from the supermarket by yourself in the kitchen, great idea to enjoy the beef of the same quality as in restaurants with less budget! Shimpei

“不可多得的京都民宿”
這是一間非常難得的房源,交通非常方便,地理位置很好找,難得一見的樓中樓配置,古色古香又不失現代,乾淨、設備齊全,庭院非常美麗,廚房bar台配置合宜,適合多人進駐、聚會的房源。 房東非常細心,會主動關心旅客,回復非常迅速,途中有為朋友在期間遺失手機在計程車上,房東也樂於協助,對於房源細節描述詳細,旅遊、美食建議齊全多樣,就算沒有準備行程也能依照房東推薦當天決定。 總結,不住可惜!!!!… More

Response from the owner Thank you Ying-Jay for the stay (and SO sorry I missed this review for 5 months now!) and the detail description of the house which will be useful for my future guests. It was very fun to meet all of you six at the check in! Sorry that it took so much time to find the phone but was good that the cellphone was finally found resolved AND I learned how to resolve similar issues next time! Looking forward to your next visit sometime in the near future (and I should come back to Taiwan as well sometime soon!) Shimpei

“京都赏樱赏枫家庭游首选”
带着老人和小孩一共6人的家庭去京都赏枫，很幸运找到Shimpei的二层小别墅。离地铁站只有3分钟，很安静的社区，出门就有二个超市，妈妈买食材回来在一应俱全的厨房里开心得都不想出去了。附近晚上有很多食肆，街口的公交车站路线很多很方便。二楼二个房间，走道上可以临时隔出来一个卧室，加上楼下厅里也可以临时铺的榻榻米，容纳一个大家庭不成问题。家电都是最新的型号，房子前后都有小院子，还有独立的阅读室/太阳房，… More

Response from the owner Thank you for the stay and the detail description of the house, which must be very helpful for my future guests! It was convenient for me too when I lived here to prepare the house that there two supermarkets a block away and the subway station is within a three minute walk. Large families as yours are one of the primary type of guests that I would like to serve. I am now investing a bit more to the house (bamboo forest on the wood deck and paper lanterns on the second floor) so please revisit my sites! Looking forward to seeing you at the cherry blossom season! p.s. My next door is also a similar guesthouse (民宿) and is my friend so the two combined can accommodate even a larger group of up to 12 persons!

Response from the owner Thank you Ruby for the stay and the review. Yes, it would be cheaper and more convenient to take a taxi from Kyoto station (13 min, 1300-1500 yen) if you have three or four persons. Glad to learn that you fully utilized what the house can offer (big kitchen, etc.). Since last March, Saiin station (阪急西院駅) opened two new exits closer to the house, so now you'll be Kawaramachi 河原町/ Gion 祇園 area within 15 min door to door. Looking forward to your next visit!

“在日本住得最舒心的就是这间京都的townhouse，六星级推荐”
是带着公公婆婆一起的旅行，所以选房子的时候很是费了一番心思，预订的时候本来是有一点忐忑的，因为去年10月份预定的时候这个房子还没有人住过没评价，但是房东其他房子都口碑很好，而且岛型厨房也实在是太迷人，于是就下手啦!Surprise~~房子非常非常非常超出我的预期,质感超级好,装修的原木,水暖,黄铜的五金件,非常赞的烘干洗衣机都是按照自住标准来的,,岛形厨房无敌了,以后换房子就要照着这个装修!房东的… More

Response from the owner Thank you Emily for the stay AND being brave enough to be one of the first couple of groups to book this new place! Also appreciate your detail description in Chinese language which will be useful for my future guests as well as for my leaning the language. Yes, the island kitchen 島形厨房, the tea room 茶室, and the skylights 天窗 are major charming points when I decided to buy the property. Looking forward to your next visit and keep in touch! Shmpei

“Perfect place to explore Kyoto”
On arrival, the host offered to pick us up at the station. But, since we have been to Kyoto before, we declined and met him instead at the house. He was most welcoming and explained all the amenities … More

Response from the owner Thank you Geodino-san for being the second guest of this house and the detail illustration of the house and the location. Although the area itself is not a major scenic spot, I found the two stations (Hankyu Saiin 阪急西院 and Randen Sai 嵐電西院 and a couple of bus stops within three minute walk will give tourists a great and direct footwork to multiple scenic spots such as Golden Pavilion 金閣寺, Gion 祇園, and Aarashiyama 嵐山. It was also fun to keep communicating via email after the check in during the stay (and to meet you all again back in April). Looking forward to your next visit! Shimpei
