Higashiyama House | Gojozaka Samurai Machiya, Gojozaka Samurai Machiya

3 Bedroom House in Higashiyama, Kyoto

Near Kiyomizu Temple, in a quiet location, FULLY LICENSED Gojozaka Samurai Machiya has all the charm of an old traditional Kyoto townhouse, with luxurious modern facilities and comfort. Fully renovated, it will be the perfect location to stay for a visit to Kyoto.
This large house (over 85 m2 / 900 sq ft) has been fully renovated. It features two Japanese tatami mat bedrooms (sleeping on futons) and one Western-style bedroom with one double bed. Depending on the number of guests, as is traditionally done in Japan, the living room can also be used as a bedroom by placing futons on the tatami mats. In the kitchen-dining room, we have a large dining table for 9 people. On the ground floor, the house features a traditional wooden bathroom with a bathtub and a shower room upstairs. It has two toilets. It is also equipped with a fully automatic All-In-One Washer / Dryer.
Everything has been designed to be very convenient for a larger group (spacious enough for up to 9 people, although we recommend it for up to 7 adults).
As our guest, you have unlimited access to super-fast (optical fiber) internet access via Wi-Fi throughout the house. And you'll be able to enjoy unlimited movies with Netflix (or use the Blu-ray Disk player) with the large (60 in) flat panel HDTV.
The fully equipped modern kitchen will please anyone who wants to cook at home. A large selection of cooking utensils, an induction cooktop, dishwasher, microwave oven/oven, all kinds of appliances, such as a rice cooker, toaster, blender, electric kettle, regular coffee machine, and dishes, plates, glasses, and cutlery for all theguests. The setting is particularly convenient for people who stay for a longer period and who want to eat at home. And of course, you'll find all the basics, such as salt, pepper, oil, sauce, soya, etc.

As our guests, you'll have all the Gojozaka Machiya for yourselves and have access to everything it has to offer, a traditional lifestyle with modern comfort (with the exception of a closet reserved for housekeeping).
We offer concierge services (within reason) and luggage storage, and we're always available for any help necessary for information, preparation, restaurant reservations, suggestions, advice, etc. We love Kyoto and like to share our interests with our guests. We also have a dedicated website (mykyotomachiya) full of information and pictures to enable our guests to fully explore and enjoy this wonderful city.
The house is very conveniently located in the Higashiyama District, in a quiet residential area near a number of sites, restaurants, bars, and more.
The house is located just East of Gojo Street, next to the crossing with HigashiOji Street, about 2.2 km (22 min on foot) away from Kyoto station and the JR. lines. It takes about 10 minutes and costs about yen 1,200-1,500 by taxi.
Kiyomizu-Gojo station (Keihan line) is less than 12 minutes away.
Gojo subway station is 15 minutes away.
In addition, several Kyoto Bus stops are a mere 300 m away from the house.
And there are always taxis available around.
We have decorated the house with old traditional Japanese art crafts such as Samurai armor, traditional wedding kimono, Japanese dolls, a Noh mask, protective gods against fire (Hotei-san), etc for a more refined atmosphere.
You'll experience the traditional way of living of the people of Kyoto and enjoy a unique cultural experience with all the modern comforts you can wish for.
Note that there is a flight of stairs to access the house -- this may be an issue for older people with reduced mobility.

Summary: Our group of 5 enjoyed a wonderful stay at this Machiya. Very authentic to the area, but with modern conveniences. Clean. Good location. Good air conditioning and showers. The bed and Japanese mats were very comfortable for sleeping. We would return to the same place and would recommend highly to others.
