Our family had a wonderful stay here. It was such a spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet and beautiful house. We really enjoyed all the amenities included. The kids enjoyed making Matcha with the host. The huge selection of complimentary drinks in the fridge was a bonus. The private outdoor bath was perfect after a long day of walking. The beds and tatami are super comfortable. There is a laundry and luggage storage room which both came in handy. They really think of everything here. Easy to get a hold of staff in case of emergencies. Location is fantastic. Easy to walk to Nishiki Market, Nijo castle, Imperial Palace and subway stations. Will definitely recommend this accommodation to everybody and stay here again in the future. It was Perfect!

Wonderful, private feeling stay while in a central location in Kyoto. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and a very special way for my husband and I to experience traditional Japanese food. Outdoor bath was so nice.

This was our first stay in Kyoto after arriving from Tokyo. It was a bliss! We really needed this agter a busy city, to relax and enjoy the hot tub outdoors. I'd definitely stay at this place again in the future and i have to say, the matcha tea experience was amazing. Both the hosts were extremely friendly and spoke English. Theres also some lockers you can use after checking out to explore the area a bit more. Everything we wanted to do was walkable as well, such as Gion, Nishiki market and some beautiful temples.

The cultural experience of staying in a machiya was fantastic. The staff was so friendly and performed tea making with sweets. Wish we could have stayed longer. The location was within 20-25 min walking distance to all the events and locations we wanted to go to.

Wonderful wonderful property. We only stayed one night and it was not enough. Great location off the beaten track but close enough to the subway and buses and also within walking distance to Nishiki and the main shopping area. Our welcome was awesome, as was the breakfast. The complementary drinks are a really nice touch. A really beautiful building, my seven year old nephew wanted to live there! Lovely outside bath, great inside bathroom with a wooden bath tub. We could not fault this wonderful local business - just don't stay for just one night!!

A Serene Retreat in Kyoto My stay at Kyoto Machiya Fukune was a serene and unforgettable experience. The traditional Japanese townhouse exuded charm and tranquility. Arisa and David warm hospitality and attention to detail were exceptional. The ofuro, traditional soaking tub, was pure bliss. The location was perfect for exploring Kyoto's cultural treasures. The amenities provided were impeccable. I highly recommend Kyoto Machiya Fukune for a relaxing and memorable stay in Kyoto.

Amazing hotel. Book any room if you get the chance. It's very clean and modern without detracting from the traditional machiya experience. Very nice outdoor bath if you want a private hotbath experience. Double bed and tatami floor with a futon if you want to have a traditional sleeping experience. 10/10

A machiya experience is a must when you visit Kyoto. Machiya Fukune perfectly balances a traditional home with modern conveniences. It was such a beautiful and indescribable experience, I can only urge others to try it for themselves.

Great location, central to everything, good condition of town house, not sure what the spare room was used for though as it had one instrument in and that was it. Bathing facilities were nice but there were a few mosquitos which put a small dampner on it (though the air con was great).

한국인 리뷰는 잘 없어서 처음 써봅니다. 예약시부터 주인 분이 계속 메일 보내주시고 가이드 보내주시고 엄청 친절했어요. 방은 사진이나 영상만큼 깔끔했고, 생각보다 약간 작긴 했지만 딱 일본 전형적인 주택 사이즈였습니다. 4-5인 가능하다고 하지만 2-3인이 적당할 듯해요. 있을 거 다 있고 작은 정원도 있고 테이블에 전자렌지 포트 다 있어서 뭐 사다 먹기도 너무 편했고요. 체크인때 디저트랑 말차도 만들어 주셔서 너무 편했습니다. 다만 옛날 주택을 리모델링한 것이라 욕실과 방이 연결되어 있지는 않고, 한국인 기준에서는 난방을 계속 해도 살짝 웃풍이 있어서 1층은 따뜻하지 않아서 한겨울에는 좀 추울 듯해요. 침실 있는 2층은 정말 따뜻해서 괜찮았지만요. 호텔처럼 카운터가 있는 게 아니라서 12시 이전에는 짐을 맡길 수 없는 점도 일정에 반영해야 합니다. 하지만 집 자체가 정말 관리가 잘 되어있고 침실도 세련되게 예쁘고 지내기 너무 편했어요. 걸어나가면 바로 시조거리라 백화점 마트 편의점 다 가깝고요. 거리 자체가 조용해서 실제 교토인들의 생활도 볼 수 있고 아늑합니다. 집 한 채를 다 쓰는 거라 도어락으로 잠그기만 하면 되서 내집처럼 지낼 수 있어요. 오래된 마치야지만 내부는 아주 세련된 곳에서 교토 생활을 느낄 수 있는 곳입니다!
