Response from the manager Dear Stephen, Thank you for your review and kind words regarding your stay in our "Gion Koyu-an" machiya house. We are so pleased to hear that you not only enjoyed the location of this house (as you have pointed out, near Gion & the Eastern-side of Kyoto), but also the facilities and amenities provided. The upstairs wooden tub is a traditional machiya feature -- we are glad that everyone was able to utilise it at least once. Again, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It was a pleasure having you stay with Machiya Residence Inn, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future! Kind Regards, The Machiya Residence Inn Kyoto Staff

Response from the manager We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Gion Koyu-an machiya and that everything was to your liking. Our staff members were more than happy to assist you! The location of this machiya is, as you have said, ideal for visitors. It is close to many of Kyoto's popular sightseeing attractions, and right in the center of Gion, a famous Geisha district. We hope that you were able to visit many attractions during your stay, and hope to see you in Kyoto again soon! Sincerely, The Machiya Residence Inn Staff

Response from the manager Thank you for your review. We are glad that you were able to enjoy your stay in Gion Koyuan and experience living in a traditional Kyoto machiya with modern conveniences. The bedroom on the second floor can situate up to 4 futons mattresses, so that our guests can truly immerse themselves in the Japanese lifestyle. It is one of our more ideally located houses in terms of access to major tourist attractions, so we are glad to hear that you were able to take full advantage of the location. Although there are differences in service compared to a traditional ryokan, the staff here are always willing to help book a restaurant or recommend a good souvenir shop. Thank you again, and we hope to see you back in Kyoto! From all the staff at Gion Koyuan / Machiya Residence Inn

Response from the manager Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Gion Koyuan. The locations of our Machiya vary, from the center of the action in Kyoto to quiet alleys nestled in subdued residential areas. Koyuan, located in the heart of Gion, tends to be a bit noisy, as it is near many tourist attractions. Thank you again, and we hope to see you back in Kyoto in the future!
