    A lovely house in walking distance to the main parts of the city. The host is lovely and met us upon arrival. Gave us a map and explained and gave us advise on what to see or how to get around. It was also very nice to have a house for ourselves...

    Loved the authenticity and experience of living in a 100 yr old Machiya! The location was amazing, bang in the middle of the best area in GION and yet away from the noise. Perfect for families with great space especially compared to Japan standards.
