Reikaku Yasaka

Check-in process was smooth and easy. The owner was prompt with their communication and professional. The accommodation is a beautiful combination of authentic and modern, included is a beautiful bath with small interior private garden. Everything was as advertised and our whole party enjoyed our stay! The location is in a great spot in the Gion District which makes it easy to visit nearby temples early and beat the traffic. There are great restaurants nearby and more of the city centre is within walking distance.

The only issue we had was the internet speed which was on the slower side. However, we rarely used due to travel but this could certainly be improved.

Beautifully renovated traditional house in an excellent location surrounded by shrines and historical charm; the amount of space you get compared is incredible! The property came with all modern luxuries, the kitchen is equipped superbly, heated floors throughout the property including bathroom! The host, Tomomi, was very helpful, friendly and accomodating, we were very impressed with the excellent service and communication!

I don’t recommend using the washing machine if you are relying on it’s drying function - it doesn’t dry well (we ran two drying cycles). Clothes came out smelly as well (probably due to bacteria in the stagnant water).

Amazing historic property near Gion. I can’t imagine getting something better for the rate we have paid. Very clean, beds are super comfortable, nice Onsen in a restored machiya. Excellent communication with the owner, who always responded to my inquiries within minutes. What more can you ask for? I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Book this one!

A very minor complaint, but a few hooks (for hanging coats) at the entrance would be nice. Also, this isn’t really a negative, but the property isn’t likely a good fit for families with very small children. The stairs are a bit steep, which is typical for a machiya. Our son is 12, so it wasn’t an issue for us, but I I would be nervous if he was younger.

Great location in a quiet back street of Kyoto. Beautifully restored Machiya with a comfortable living area. Walking distance to Yasaka pagodo, Gion, nishiki markets and Pontocho

Luggage had to be kept downstairs in the living area, made the small space more cramped with 6 suitcases. Could also do with some hooks in the entry area for hanging jackets, scarves, hats.

Excellent location

The bathtub is fabulous!

Hard to have to keep all luggage downstairs when rooms are upstairs.

Beautiful house! very clean and comfortable. location in Gion was tremendous.
