such a beutiful place

The stay at this machiya was incredible. The scenery of this part of town was a major highlight of our trip. Our host gladly provided a second bicycle on advance request and also booked a taxi for our departure when we asked for help. The garden made the outdoor trip to the bathroom enjoyable even when it rained a little. There aren't many dining options so be warned, 7eleven is an easy 10 min cycle away and a cultural experience in itself.

The futon! I'm too soft for them. If the host can do anything it's maybe to provide additional pillows. The ladder to the loft was precarious. Not detracting score here because this is what you are booking! People with back and knee problems be warned.

Perfect location, traditional machiya house in a quiet street. The bathroom area is outside but it was not inconvenient. The host was very flexible with the check in time and promptly responded to all my questions.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to stay in such a beautifully restored and maintained house right in the middle of Shinmachi. Everything was new and thoughtfully furnished, the futons were super comfortable and all the appliances (AC, humidifier, space heater) kept things comfortable even though it was cold outside

Check in is from 3pm but we said we would arrive at 5pm. We got there at 415pm and had to wait for a bit as the door was locked. On hindsight, I would not have provided an estimated check in time It would be helpful to make clear that the toilet and bath are separate from the rest of the house
