Gion Minami Banka Machiya House  

In Kyoto's historic Higashiyama Ward, about 3 km from the city center and a short walk from Kenninji Temple, Yasaka Shrine and Kodaiji Temple.

This machiya-style vacation home offers warmly decorated, smoke-free rooms with TVs and slippers, a small garden and bilingual staff ready to help.

Use the shared kitchen to cook your own meals, store luggage at reception, and enjoy quiet garden mornings after exploring the neighborhood.

A communal kitchen is available where you can cook anything you want, perfect for sampling local Kyoto ingredients and flavors.
