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.

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.
