“This humble machiya, a brief walk from Tanbaguchi Station, offers an authentic Kyoto experience. Run by exceptionally kind grandmothers, it's situated in a peaceful, traditional neighborhood away from the main thoroughfare; it's a simple yet heartwarming place to stay. Be aware that it can get quite warm in the communal areas during summer, and the walls are thin.”
