Very beautiful and pleasant apartments. Design and attention to detail are truly impressive. Thanks to the air conditioning, the room was always warm and comfortable. It was also convenient to leave luggage before check-in. The massage chair was especially helpful after long days of walking. Kitchen and bathroom are well equipped with everything needed, and even more. The washing machine also has a drying function, which was very convenient. The neighborhood is lovely — a perfect area for long walks, with many beautiful traditional houses to admire.

It was wonderful to stay in an old Japanese house that combines tradition with modern amenities. A small but very tasty breakfast was served in the lounge and there were snacks available throughout the day as well as drinks in the evening. The design of the lounge is eclectic, creative and cozy. There are also books and board games. What made our stay here so great was above all the service. All of the staff members were lovely, helpful and kind. Special thanks to the young man who took care of our trash and towels in the evening after we mixed up the housekeeping rules. Altogether it was one of the best experiences we had in Japan and we would definitely stay in Rinn Shiki Juraku if we visit Kyoto again.

This was a beautiful apartment. Huge shower/tub area with a separate toilet downstairs and another toilet upstairs. Seating was traditional, on the floor w/ sunken foot area below the dining table. There is a full-service kitchen and the HVAC was super responsive to changes in settings. The receptionists were super pleasant and very helpful. The unit is within several blocks of two metro stations, and there is a grocery store and covered shopping street 2 blocks away - super convenient! It was nice to not stay in tourist central as we were about 1-1.5 miles away from the popular attractions but got a very residential feel, e.g. only local at the grocery store/shopping street, etc. We would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful location with comfortable beds and great amenities close to the city center. My friends and I absolutely loved this place, it is a beautiful accommodation with a traditional theme and style. We were 5 people - 2 had their own beds in their own room and 3 had their own futon in another room. The place had 2 toilets and 1 bathroom. The location is close to a bunch of restaurants, shops, konbinis and very close to a train station. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a spot within Kyoto!

We loved everything about this property: check-in was conveniently located next to the train station, and they arranged a cab to take us to the property. The location was beautiful and close to everything. It had everything we needed, including a washing machine, cookware, two toilets, tatami, and a traditional Japanese low table where our family could enjoy meals together.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this place was a 1000! It’s hidden behind the street so it’s more isolated than other places. The machiya had the the perfect mix of traditional and modern features with beautiful sliding doors and windows, tatami mat floors, and futons (SO COMFORTABLE). Yet the bathroom was super modern and had all toiletries supplied. The tea ceremony that we had to welcome us was amazing and the host was so nice! We ordered breakfast and regretted that we didn’t order dinner because it was so good.

Stay here! Don’t even think about it. Great location, beautiful space and two hot tubs! One outdoors and one indoors. Perfect for a hot tub + ice bath situation which I really needed after all the walking in Kyoto. Really one of our favorite places!

It was a lovely, traditional Japanese place to stay in Kyoto. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the location was convenient, being close to the best ramen restaurant in Kyoto and the train station. Yumi, the owner, and her staff gave us a tour of the house, explaining every detail. They also shared their recommendations for must-visit places during our stay in Kyoto. We absolutely loved this place.

Literally everything. Location is in a very lovely quite neighborhood within walking distance to main area. The Machiya its self is very nicely designed and executed. The building is historic and old while everything inside is modern.

The location was great. It is near 3 train stations Shijo-Omiya, Nijo station and Nijojo-mae station (all under 1KM walk). Shinsenen-mae bus stop is only 100m away. There are many nice eateries around with many large supermarkets, LIFE at Nijo station, Seiyu Sanjo (300m) away as well as Fresco (300m) away. The apartment is also sparkly clean and new unlike some of the comments from the past. The staff at the counter were great and super responsive. There is a folder on the instructions to operate the appliances in the apartment. The coffee capsules given were superb, better than some of those stall bought coffee. We checked in in the evening and was able to enter the apartment without any help. The management sent a detailed video on how to operate the digital key lock prior to check in. The pricing of this apartment was pricey but worth every penny. Will certainly recommend to our friends and family!

The house was very pretty, clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities anyone can think of including bicycles. The owner was very helpful and friendly. The house is located in a very quiet neighbourhood of Kyoto but close to the main tourist places and also close to the northern hills surrounding Kyoto. Definitely recommend!

Guest review
The stay was very traditional Japanese. Wood flooring on the base level, Tatami mats on the top level. There was even a small back garden. The atmosphere really cemented the fact that we were in Japan during our stay. The stay was at the end of a side alley street with other traditional residential houses that made me feel like I was living the experience instead of staying at a hotel.
