Holiday rentals near Pontocho Alley

This was our second time staying at this lovely property and weren’t disappointed. We had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay.

A nice house with a traditional Japanese vibe!

Exceeded my expectations! The host Masaru is very easy to correspond with and so very thoughtful in providing information that is useful and convenient for travellers new to the area. The house is lovely and we found the location perfect for us. Highly recommend and hope to return one day.

We were greeted at the door by Yoshiko. Lovely to meet with her again. She explained changes that had happened since Covid. The machiya is a piece of history and is so peaceful. The bath is amazing with a feature that will fill then notify you that it is ready. The garden off the bedroom is a calming place to enjoy. This is such a well situated place to stay. We would love to return.

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a joy. The little house was just right for 2 people, while it was cold outside it was warm inside and had everything we needed. It was so close to Kiyomizudera temple, we went for a morning and evening stroll most days and it was very handy to the bus for seeing the rest of Kyoto’s sights. I highly recommend this house for a holiday.

We are family of 5 adults from Australia and UK and totally enjoyed our stay. Able to check in early and handled smoothly by office staffs. Akiko was away but her assistant did a good job. Helped us to book taxi and answered all our requests. Place is extremely clean (cleaner than my home) and well equipped. Good facilities for cooking and laundry. Of course, the decor is as good as advertised. Central enough to walk to Gion area and more. Staff was very quick to come and reset the oven when we found it didn't turn on. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Highly recommended. Terry
