    Loved staying in this old Machiya and it is in a fantastic location. Loved staying in the heart of Gion by Yasaka Pagoda and so much more to explore especially beautiful at night or first thing in the morning.

    We had only had 2 days in Kyoto, and only the 1 night here... Fantastic experience. All the pictures of old school Kyoto, that all the brochures have of cobbled streets, narrow lanes, pagodas, tea houses... This is smack bang in the middle of it...
