This place is worth the splurge! It's beautifully hidden and away from the main street, making it feel like you're stepping into historical Kyoto. It's a cozy apartment that has luxury, modern amenities, like an open air bath, great bedrooms (both western and traditional) and lovely rain-style shower, and a minimalistic living room. We only stayed one night, but we will plan to stay at least two to three next time!
Lovely stay with our family in this beautiful inn. Laundry was just across from our door. The outside tub provided a good soak after a long day walking. The staff went above and beyond to help us get a bag back that we left in an Uber. Would stay here again.

The accommodation was stunning and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.
Our host Kiyo San was extremely gracious, informative , and friendly. We even got to experience a tea ceremony and lesson by Kiyo San! The hotel itself was beautiful, traditional, and elegant. Thank you Kyoto Machiya Fukune for making our stay very memorable. We hope to be back soon!
We loved staying at the Kyoto Machiya Fukune during our trip to Japan! This hotel was such an authentic experience. We loved the check-in process, which included making matcha and drinking tea with our host. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Amazing machiya house. Great bathrooms, tubs and scenery. Very different from a normal hotel but great service as well. Very close to bakeries, restaurants and the market.

The house is amazing! Over 100 years old, you feel like you’re in an authentic Japanese house. The staff gave us a tea ceremony, which was incredible. The private onsen bath outside is the perfect getaway from the hustle of the city and great for your aching legs.

Wonderful, private feeling stay while in a central location in Kyoto. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and a very special way for my husband and I to experience traditional Japanese food. Outdoor bath was so nice.

Must stay here while in Kyoto!
Staying at Machiya Fukune was an amazing experience! Everything we needed was available, everyone was friendly and helpful, and the relaxation of being in a home as opposed to a hotel room is unmatched. We particularly loved the two bathtubs in our Machiya, so as to have the option of relaxing in a secluded outdoor environment or indoor one. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again next time I visit Kyoto!

The cultural experience of staying in a machiya was fantastic. The staff was so friendly and performed tea making with sweets. Wish we could have stayed longer. The location was within 20-25 min walking distance to all the events and locations we wanted to go to.

Charming historic machiya with all of the modern appointments! We just loved our stay here. I reserved 2 of the townhouses as we are a family of 6. 2 adults with 4 boys ages- 9,11,14,15. We were all thrilled with the accommodation and our own private onsen in the rooms. The provided bathrobes are delightful. Laundry machines are free for you to use along with provided soap. The bath products are lovely. Dyson hairdryer was an amazing perk for me with long thick hair. We walked to many locations from this spot and also was super easy to call uber as well. Loved our stay and would recommend to anyone (except those with any physical limitations as there are stairs)

Romantic, private and perfect
Stayed here for a nice romantic stay in Kyoto. Checking in you’ll be greeted with a friendly staff that will provide you with a tea ceremony as well as a tour of the facility.
The location is quiet, quaint and peaceful. It’s relatively close from the main Karasume Oike street where it’s on the other side of the busy streets/shops. There are nice izakaya and private dinner spots to walk by to.
And there’s a luggage transport that’s right around the corner

This was our first stay in Kyoto after arriving from Tokyo. It was a bliss! We really needed this agter a busy city, to relax and enjoy the hot tub outdoors. I'd definitely stay at this place again in the future and i have to say, the matcha tea experience was amazing. Both the hosts were extremely friendly and spoke English. Theres also some lockers you can use after checking out to explore the area a bit more. Everything we wanted to do was walkable as well, such as Gion, Nishiki market and some beautiful temples.

My kids didn’t want to go to public onsen so I booked this place for the outdoor bath. Even though it was hot and humid outside, the hot bath still felt wonderful after a long day of walking. They provide slightly scented bath salts for the bath and a cute garden to look at while you relax.
The place was smaller than it looked in the pictures but there was still plenty of room for 4. We stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect. It was fun to walk around Kyoto and then go home to what feels like a traditional house. There was shopping and restaurants within walking distance and a free washer and dryer to use.
