Kyoto is famous for having been the ancient capital of Japan, dating back over 1200 years. The sheer beauty of the temples, shrines, gardens and culture imbued within, makes Kyoto one of the most revered places in the world.
Kiyomizu Bettei is one unit of Kyo Machiya Miyabi in Kiyomizu area, a big Kyoto traditional house.
Kiyomizu Bettei is being meticulously preserved with the traditional techniques that have been handed down over the centuries. While sticking to tradition is important for the architect, updating the facilities, such as a nice bathroom, high-tech toilet, kitchen, heating floor, air condition , wifi, are just as important to meet the present day needs of our selective clientele. The delicate balance between 'old and new' is what sets this apart.
You can see the large courtyard from the living room.
Kiyomizu Bettei is at the foot of Kiyomizu Temple, which has been designated a World Cultural Heritage, and is very convenient for visiting by walking distance many others famous temples, shrines, downtown, and Gion, the most famous Geisha district!
Enjoy Kyoto and the distinctive features of the local townhomes by staying in a real Machiya, feeling the natural way of living and the change of seasons which distinguishes Kyoto 's culture and its people.
City buses or rental bikes can take you to most famous sites in Kyoto within 30 minutes.

This home was perfect for our family of 8. The futons were incredibly comfortable to sleep on and the bathrooms were great. It was in a very convenient location, which allowed us to explore all over the city. The convenience store is just a block away and a larger grocery store is about 3 blocks away, a very easy walk. The house was very nice and a good mix of amenities in a more traditional style home. Also, a nice touch for cold days/nights is that the floors are heated. The hosts are very attentive, and even provided directions to show the taxi from Kyoto Station, which were very helpful. We we completely satisfied and very comfortable here!
#2
Beautiful home design in a perfect location at the base of kiomizu temple. Tatami mats were surprisingly comfortable to sleep on and improved our japan experience! Easy walk out of the door to visit tons of temples and easy to catch the bus to Kyoto train station. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores just steps away. Owners were very responsive and helpful! They provide maps and have books of local sights of interest which are very helpful!

Check-in process was great, house was immaculate and in such a nice location - we all really enjoyed our stay here
5.0
Our family of 8 really enjoyed the stay. There are many things to like about this home.
To be clear, the “barbecue grill” is a tiny cooking drawer in the stove (not an outdoor grill) and the outdoor space is rock garden (not a usable area for the family) as a zen visual area.
Overall we would consider staying here again.
5.0
My wife and I and 3 adult kids enjoyed staying at Kyo Machiya. It's a very traditional Japanese house with Tatami mats in the bedrooms and futons on the floors of the (2) 2nd floor bedrooms. The house is very clean, modern furnishings and in a great location for visiting Kyoto. Only recommendation would be to provide a larger coach somewhere on the 1st floor for relaxing at the end of the day, but we were so tired after walking all day that this was not a problem for us. We will definitely stay at this house the next time we are in Kyoto.
5.0
The host(s) of this Vrbo were extremely helpful and communicative before, during and after our stay. We just wish we had stayed here longer! We have always wanted to stay at a machiya home and this one was beautiful crafted with shoji screens and tatami rooms. The best part of our stay was watching snow fall from the living/kitchen area into the garden/atrium area. What a sight that was! A huge bonus was the close proximity to bus stops, convenience stores, and yummy food/restaurants. It was a bit crowded near the Kiyomizu-dera area nearby but the location was off the main path so we were able to enjoy peace and quiet at the house. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Would highly recommend!
5.0
This home was spotless, well suited for a family of 4 and in a great location for exploring Kyoto.
The hosts were very helpful w booking taxis and dinner reservations. You can walk to many Kyoto sites within 30 minutes or less. Getting out early is highly recommended to avoid massive crowds, this house is very well suited for that. The house itself is simple yet beautiful. It was our first time in Japan so a few things surprised us but we got used to them very quickly and in fact even enjoyed the "minimalism" after a couple of days (no couch, single beds, one pillow per bed etc.).
Overall a great stay in a quiet and clean house with comfortable beds in a 10 out of 10 location.
5.0
The house was beautiful and very cultural of Kyoto. Lots of local shops and restaurants within walking distance. The house is right down the street from the famous Ninenzaka and a short walk from the Kiyomizu Temple.
The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. I needed a ticket printed out and they were very quick in printing it out and delivering it to the house. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

From online booking to check in it went very smooth. I was a bit nervous as it was my first international booking (from USA). Only issue we had was on our part and our google map - had us 2 doors down. Host graciously came to our rescue. House was clean, up to date. Host made sure we knew how to use everything. Highly recommend

Tucked away and quiet, but with good walking access to the city. House was well apppointed and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Close to Gion area and accessible to bus stops
The house is very accessible to bus stops which helps a lot in going around Kyoto. It is also walking distance to Gion area. The house is very comfortable for our family five. The owner is also very helpful and prompt when answering our questions.
The only thing that I find negative is when they put our bags and things out already when we came from our walk even if we still have 2-3 minutes to spare before 11:00am. I felt we were evicted out of the property and that kind of ruined my Kyoto experience

Very nice
We are from overseas and really enjoyed the accommodation.
It was very comfortable and easy to get around the sightseeing locations.
Overall it was very pleasant experience.

I was a little hesitant as this is the first time I have traveled to Kyoto. Truly the home sits less than five walking minutes to several of the places one would want to see on a first visit. Out of the way, safe, quiet, clean, brand new, easily accessible to all types of transit and easy to check into. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a group of 5 or more.
