Machiya Maya Gion

The lady that greeted us was extremely helpful and generous with her time. We lost a bag on a train and despite our language barrier she spent a great deal of time on the phone to JR trying to track it for us. She was so lovely and it really made our stay a pleasure.

The locks on the house and our room were very sensitive and at times we couldn't get in. I don't believe we were ever given the code for the lock on the house and one evening we returned to find it locked. Fortunately the other guests heard us and opened the door but if we were both out it would have been difficult.

Amazing house, friendly staff, super easy check in and out. Amazing location. Clean. Just great all around.

It's not a "hotel" with checkin staff. We are totally fine with this and it worked perfectly for us, but just be aware if it's not your thing.

It was spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. The location was right in the middle of lots of great places, which were accessible by foot.

Center of Gion, Kyoto's famed Geisha district. Walking distance to numerous attractions. A traditional heritage machiya with modern quality bathroom, kitchen, beds, and heating. Perfect combination of Japanese and Western!
