THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya

In central Kyoto, a boutique machiya guesthouse just a short walk from Sanjusangen‑do Temple and Kawaramachi Street. Kyoto National Museum, Kiyomizu Temple, Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple are all close by, so temple hopping and Gion nights are easy to do.

Housed in a tastefully restored machiya, the property blends natural and traditional Japanese materials with local artwork. There are nine individually decorated guestrooms with flat‑screen TVs, safes, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms (bidets and complimentary toiletries). A cozy communal living room adds a homey vibe.

Complimentary wireless internet, a communal living room and tour/ticket assistance are on hand. Rooms may include refrigerators and weekly housekeeping. Expect simple, authentic comforts that put you steps from Kyoto’s best sights and morning strolls through historic streets.

Express check‑out, multilingual staff, luggage storage and laundry facilities are available. The front desk can help book excursions and arrange additional services, including medical assistance if needed.
