At the inn, the rooms are fitted with a wardrobe. Every room is equipped with a safety deposit box and some rooms also feature city views. At Kokonoe Machiya the rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels.

The perfect stay! The place is wonderful and looks as a typical Japanese house. The owners are incredibly kind, they welcomed me in the best way ever, explaining me everything about the stay and giving me tips about the city of Kyoto. They can speak many languages as Japanese, English, Italian, Spanish and probably more so the communication wouldn’t be a problem for you. The hotel is located in a very quite are of the city just outside the city-center so perfect to sleep in a white place but also well connected with the touristic areas with buses. The common area is just amazing, about cleaning is perfect and the structure is very technological! If I’ll be back to Kyoto, sure I’ll stay here again, I recommend 100%. Grazie Tony, ci vediamo alla prossima ✌🏻

    I loved everything about this accommodation. Starting from Kevin who was an amazing host, welcoming, kind and helped us with a lot of staff. Thank you! I really liked our room with a traditional atmosphere and I was surprised by how spacious and clean it was. The hotel has an elevator and is located in a charming, quiet neighbourhood. Only 20 minutes on foot from the Kyoto Station and the same distance from Gion district. Thank you for having us, definitely will visit next time!

    The hosts were very gracious and made available a variety of snacks throughout the stay including fresh fruit and breakfast pastries left in our room each day. It was nice to have a Japanese home experience. The dogs were so calm and gentle. The location was very quiet and the courtyard entry felt safe.

    It is a family run b&b with taking good care by the hosts who have put years of energy and passion into making this place so cozy, beautiful and feel at home. Breakfast comes with home-made everything which is delicate, delicious and satisfying. Great location with quiet and chill neighbourhood which is only 5mins walk from the station and close to city centre. So grateful we have chosen this place to stay.
