What people say
The modern meets traditional design of the machi-ya is a real treat. The location cannot be beaten on Omiya Dori with Shijo station a couple of blocks away and easy access to Nikishi markets, Gion and Nijo castle. The cleaning is very efficient and thorough and the facilities, low key but more than sufficient.
Atmosphere is awesome. The staff is good at English communication.all reviews »
Without refill of the tea and coffee on the second day of our stay.
Not easy to find at the first time.
