Kyoto Machiya Fukune

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|0.65km from Satsuma Yashiki no Ato
After staying at minshukus, ryokans and western-style hotels over the last several days, it was a pleasure to end our Japan stay with 2 nights at Kyoto Machiya Fukune. The 2 of us appreciated the extra space of the Sangen machiya compared to our previous lodgings to just chill out, especially when soaking in your personal outdoor hot water (not onsen) bath or the indoor hinoki bath and looking out onto the compact zen garden. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms modern and clean. The included mini-bar (Asahi beer, sake, soft drinks and water) was an unexpected bonus! The welcome tea ceremony with traditional sweets (much better than that offered with the included entry price at the Okochi Sanso Garden in Arashiyama) was a far superior greeting than fronting a hotel reception desk even if one has to wait (about 10 mins) for Miki to arrive (which was forewarned in the pre-stay info); we were informed of our security code when we rang (using the complimentary phone in the separate arrival area) and could access the machiya while waiting. Miki was very helpful with local restaurant and sightseeing tips. Excellent pre-stay information was provided via email from Kyoto Machiya Fukune. While we didn’t use the laundry (complimentary) we did make use of the locker, which we found could store 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-on luggage with room leftover for shopping bags. It cost us ¥1500 for taxi/uber from JR Kyoto stn to the machiya. Once there it is only several minutes’ walk to various train stns or bus stops. Nishiki mkt’s western entrance is about a 10min walk away. This was my 3rd time in Kyoto with the goal to visit sights we hadn’t seen previously like Arashiyama’s bamboo grove and Fushimi Inari shrine. The Randen line’s Shijo-Omiya stn is just over 10mins walk away and the tram takes you into the heart of Arashiyama’s shopping *****, the Kimino forest and near the Tongetsu-kyo bridge. Then take your time to walk to the bamboo grove via Tenryo-ji shrine. They say it best to get to the grove early to beat the tourists, but it rained in the morning, so we took our time and got to the grove about lunch-time. While crowded, it wasn’t as packed as what we thought it would be, given it was a Sunday and also ‘golden week’ (maybe people were eating lunch). We also walked to and visited the Nison-in temple that was recommended by Miki; she highlighted the moss that covered a lot of the grounds; a very worthwhile diversion and IMHO better than the Okochi Sanso Garden we also visited). Had a late lunch in the local area then walked to JR’s Saga-Arashiyama stn; ¥220 to JR’s Inari stn (simple transfer at JR Kyoto stn) with the Fushimi Inari shrine entrance across the road. The place is pricey, but we’re glad we stayed here.

We used it for the university entrance examination. Use it in twin for accompanying children. This hotel was decided by a hotel with a good transportation from the University and a large bath. Reasonable with breakfast! It was convenient and helpful to buy lunch box on the morning of the examination day because the first floor is seven eleven! I am glad that there is free coffee and soft drink at the front desk. Amenities are also placed at the front desk and you choose yourself and bring them into the room. The room was quite compact, but there was a desk and I could study. I'm glad that there is a new and clean humid air cleaner! It is the first experience that there is a washing machine in the room! It seems to be very popular for those who stay overnight. The public bath is also narrow, but the cleaning is well done and satisfied. There was also an open-air bath that could see the sky (laughs) I stayed on the second floor, so it is the floor with a breakfast restaurant. I thought that the guests would be noisy in the morning with the sound and the voice walking in the corridor, but the soundproofing was good without hearing the sound at all. There are many kinds of breakfast and cheap and satisfied! In the daytime of the examination day, it is sightseeing alone. Perfect location for sightseeing! 2 minutes walk to Shijo KARASUMA in the center! The train is also convenient and the best for bus sightseeing! Convenient to go anywhere! Shopping is also very convenient because there are many restaurants. It is recommended for sightseeing, business and examination in Kyoto. I want to use it again.

A very pleasant surprise and an unforgettable staying experience! Let me talk about a few aspects: Good location: Downstairs is a Melbourne-style cafe. Turn left for 200 meters to Ogawa Cafe. Walk another 100 meters to the famous Nishiki Market, and continue forward to Shinkyogoku Market. Go out and turn right for 200 meters and you will find INODA Coffee, and behind you is Weekenders Coffee, both of which are well-known online celebrity shops. The Noodle Ramen and Yakiniku restaurants that are within walking distance are both high-scoring restaurants with 4.9 points. The hotel is quiet, and the quality of sleep at night is very good. The hardware condition is good: the hotel is very new, the room is quite big in Japan, the shower and air conditioner work well, and the built-in lounge has some snacks to eat. There are also welcome matcha and snacks when you check in, which are also enjoyed in the lounge, very conscientious! Strong sense of service: There is a brother in the hotel who can speak Chinese! Thank you so much for patiently answering my itinerary questions. I arrived before the check-in time, and the room hadn't been cleaned yet. My little brother helped me through the formalities, and then arranged for someone to deliver the luggage to the room after the room was cleaned. When I checked out, the lady at the front desk called a taxi for me to the train station (about 2,000 yen by taxi), and the car arrived in 3 minutes, which was very convenient. If you want to say something that can be improved, the room only provides a small bottle of mineral water a day, and you can consider giving more. Other aspects are really good, thanks to the hotel staff for giving me an unforgettable trip to Kyoto!

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.95km from Satsuma Yashiki no Ato
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

Resi Stay Nishiki
4.6/54 Reviews
The best location in the selected hotel in Kyoto! Just a few steps away from the house and turn left is the Jin Market. There is a main road nearby. The four most lively areas are super convenient for food and shopping! I will give priority to this one when I go to Kyoto in the future! Very self-service hotel, enter the door every day, and then use the key to open the door. Maybe the only inconvenience is that check-in is at Kyoto Station, but the problem is not big, and there will be a shuttle bus back to the hotel after registration. No breakfast, but no need at all! Because it is next to the Nishiki Market, I don’t have to worry about having no place to eat every day! In addition, it is very suitable for family travel. The annex building can accommodate 4 people, and the room in the main building can accommodate 5 people. The price/performance ratio is quite high!
Kyoto Ryokan Hirashin

Facilities: The room is old, the sliding door is stuck, the exhaust fan in the toilet room is noisy, and there are few sockets. There is a bath in the basement, which is used from 9:00 to 12:00 in the evening, and also in the morning Hygiene: clean and hygienic, the items are neatly arranged, the wooden furniture and hardware are a bit old Environment: Surrounded by alleys, surrounded by residential areas, directly opposite the hotel is a small park, occasionally children play, old people sit and rest, and pigeons walk up and down in the sandpit Service: Can communicate in simple English, and will provide bed-making at your door from 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Toyoko Inn Kyoto Shijo-Karasuma
4.1/544 Reviews
The location is located in Shijo Karamaru, whether by bus, subway or Sapporo, the traffic is very convenient. There are many restaurants nearby, it takes five minutes to walk to the beautiful Kamogawa, and it is also close to department stores such as Takashimaya and Daimaru. Free breakfast is provided, but the service staff is not always smiling. The furnishings of the room are similar to all chain series, exquisite and small. The fly in the ointment is that the electricity of the refrigerator is connected to the room card. If the refrigerator cannot store milk and other food that needs to be refrigerated after the room card is unplugged. In addition, the bathroom space is small and the shower curtain always has a musty smell.

Location: Accessible from Kyoto Station to the local subway (then walk about 4-5 short blocks). Walkable to nearby Kanagawa River (and the uber-touristy Pontocho), and Gion district. Staff: limited English, but very friendly and accommodating Room: great Japanese home setup (ie tatamim mats during the day, futon beds at night). Clean toilets and fresh towels. Extras: Onsen only available from 15:30 to 00:30H. I wish there’d be longer opening hours. No breakfast or dinner included (which I thought was standard for “ryokan” style accommodation). Overall, good stay!

Very convenient location, right in the middle of Kyoto, subway station nearby as well as a pretty decent market literally 2 minutes away by foot. The rooms are small and there aren’t things like a private bathroom, though the shared facilities are nice and clean so there’s no real issue with it.
