Fabulous place tradition and modern needs combined

10.0

Great location. Wonderful security. Awesome bland of tradition with the wood floors, decor, tatami mat, soaking tubs, and overall aesthetic and the modern functionality of the Japanese toilet with bidet, air conditioning, stove, percolator, coffee maker, fridge.

Other than going up the stairs after a long day walking there is nothing to complain about at all

Maison agréable

9.0

L'emplacement idéal pour les visites. Une maison typique et agréable Une communication excellente avec le personnel et un grand merci à Sigu pour sa gentillesse.

Comme c'est une maison traditionnelle, il n'y a pas d'isolation et si vous avez la malchance de tomber sur une famille bruyante dans l'appartement du dessous....

Machiya Maya Gion is an absolute gem that pairs a serene, temple-side atmosphere with a perfect location, making it a 10

10.0

Our stay at Machiya Maya Gion was excellent and offered the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern amenities. Ideal Location: Walking distance to the Miyako Odori theater, old Gion, and Pontocho Alley. It is also close to incredible temples (like Kennin-ji and its dragon ceiling) and great restaurants. Convenience: Very accessible, with luggage forwarding services just a short walk away. The Space: Bright, well-equipped, and perfect for a couple or group of four. The updated high-tech toilet, shower, and deep tub were fantastic. Having an extra bathtub in the secondary room was a godsend for soaking after long days of exploring. Serene Atmosphere: We used the balcony every day. Listening to the bamboo swaying in the wind next to the temple was incredibly peaceful. I would 1000% recommend this stay to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

The property was nearly perfect for our needs, though the addition of an in-unit laundry machine would have made it a total 10/10 for longer stays, but there were laundromats close by as well. I would 1000% recommend this spot to anyone visiting Kyoto!
