It was absolutely beautiful, so relaxing, and Kazuya was a great host and easy to get in touch with. There were a few different bus stops very close to the machiya, and we were easily able to get everywhere we wanted to go. We would absolutely stay here again on a future visit to Kyoto. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information)
