“Lovely house--miss it already”
First of all, let me just say this is not a place for anyone who has trouble sitting on the floor. There is only one stool in the house. Both toilets are on the ground floor so I had my mom sleep down… More

Response from the manager Dear barbadosbybus, Thank you very much for your kind review of "Akane-an" machiya house. It was a pleasure to accommodate you and we are glad that you enjoyed your experience with MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Kyoto. We have done our best to preserve the original architecture and design of the house by highlight such features as the Japanese style 'tatami' rooms, including the one located on the first floor that looks out onto the 'tsubioniwa' inner garden. As you mention, the futon bedding can be conveniently placed in this room which is an option for groups with young children or those with difficulties accessing the 2nd floor. We hope that everyone enjoyed a one-of-kind glimpse into life in traditional Japan. And while this house retains its original charm, we have updated it with modern facilities such as AC/heater, kitchen, and beautiful bathroom, as you mention. Like you, many guests enjoy the house's fantastic location surrounded by restaurants, cafe, the UNESCO world heritage site of Nijo Castle, public transport and more. We hope that everyone made fantastic memories living like a local and exploring all that Kyoto has to offer! Thank you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Japan again in the near future. Kind regards, "Akane-an" machiya house, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Kyoto

“The Japanese Experience”
The house was spotless and well equipped. The location was excellent, in the heart of Gion and close to amenities. But more than those pluses, the house added to our Japanese experience in its traditi… More

“Akane-an is an excellent guest house for independent travelers who don't mind an inability to move in the kitchen.”

Response from the manager Thank you very much for your feedback! Each of our machiya has a different atmosphere about them, so we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Akane-an. One unique aspect about traditional Japanese machiya is that they can be found hidden down the smallest pathways, or nestled behind larger, more modern buildings. Sometimes, a taxi may not be able to drive right up to the machiya’s doorway, but this special character is what makes these traditional townhouses so unique. Our staff members are always willing to help out our guests in any way, whether it be about the property’s WiFi, finding your way to the machiya, or making a reservation at a restaurant. So please don’t hesitate to ask any of our staff members for assistance! We hope you choose to stay at one of our machiya again! From, The Machiya Residence Inn Staff

“Great location and really nice house”
Nice location near sanjo covert alley, they are restaurants opened late, supermarket and bakery. A bit far from JR shinjo station (15 min) but for Kyoto size it's nothing. It's a lovely hou… More

Response from the manager Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are glad to have made your one-week stay at Akane-an enjoyable! We take pride in providing our guests with the experience of a traditional Japanese house with the comforts of a modern home. The location of this particular Machiya is quite convenient with many local supermarkets, shops, and restaurants. And, although it is located in the central part of Kyoto, this Machiya is indeed tucked away from the busy city-life to provide guests with a quiet, and tranquil place to rest! We will keep your feedback in mind and be sure to inform future guests with a little bit more specific directions as to how to arrive at Akane-an. We hope that you will stay with us again and look forward to your next visit to Kyoto! From, The Machiya Residence Inn Staff
