Great stay in wonderful location!

This is an amazing rental in a very old fully remodeled unit. The location is great and the host is fantastic! We accidentally missed a day in our booking the host added the day and came by late to collect payment. Wonderful for a short term stay as there is no kitchen and no parking but there is paid parking nearby. Would highly recommend!!

A Wonderful Experience

This traditional Japanese home is located on the river in a restaurant and entertainment-thick part of town. We stayed five nights here. The place was immaculate. Access is via a smart lock on the door. There are no beds as the flooring is traditional tatami mats, so all occupants are sleeping on futons. The home has a deck overlooking the river and two bathrooms. The downstairs bathroom has a shower room that is also a sauna. Restaurants and entertainment are not just "within walking distance" -- there are several excellent places that are two and three doors on either side of the place. Sites to be seen such as the Imperial Palace or Golden Pavilion require a bus or cab ride. Just an FYI, traffic in Kyoto can be brutal and the bus system is inadequate to the challenge -- it is the only public transit system in Japan that does not run on schedule.This home is an excellent choice for a family that wants to experience Kyoto. The host is gracious and always available if needed. We would book this again without hesitancy.

Beautiful Machiya on the Kamogawa

My husband and I stayed one week at Mizunagian, and will definitely come back next time. The house is beautiful, and the location is very quiet, while also being in a very central location. We loved the view of the river, and the traditional soaking tub. The house would be comfortable for 4. The stairs might be difficult for small children or elderly adults, but we plan to come back with our children next time. Toshiua-San was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommended!

Location Meets Tradition, Beauty & Comfort

Decorated beautifully & updated with present-day comforts, three of us — older couple & adult son — enjoyed four nights here. Host Toshiya is welcoming, responsive, & hospitable. The place is special & his pride shows. Some perks: LOCATION: Close to many of Kyoto’s sites & walkable to restaurants, konbinis, subway stations, & shopping. We took nearby subways to Nara Park & to the Bamboo Forest. We loved returning to this picturesque home at the end of long days. Great water views! SECOND BATHROOM: A full second bathroom makes mornings a breeze. Water pressure in the showers is terrific. Fine-quality toiletries are provided. LAUNDRY: A good washer-dryer while travelling is an obvious plus. We also used the iron/ironing board. SLEEPING: Traditional Japanese sleeping style. Futons placed on the tatami mats (on the floor), we found them very comfortable. OFFICE: Extra room with a desk - we didn't use it so just fyi. TO NOTE: Kitchen is tiny & has a fridge, microwave, coffee-maker, sink, kettle & traditional teapot. No stove but for most Japan travellers this shouldn’t be a problem. We ate hearty breakfasts of cereal, yogurt, bananas, danish, cheese, smoked salmon, grape tomatoes, OJ & coffee. Just pick up breakfast at any konbini or grocery store. The wooden stairs in this home are gorgeous but steeper than what we're accustomed to & not ideal for very young children. Older kids would be fine. All in all, a perfect spot in Kyoto! Highly recommend!
