더할 나위 없었다!
니조성 근처의 조용한 골목길에 들어서면 나오는 마치야!
들어서자마자 감탄ㅠㅠㅠ 교토스러운 고즈넉한 분위기에 시설도 정말 깔끔했어요
작지만 부엌도 있어서 간단한 요리도 해먹을 수 있었고
근처에 리큐어샵이 있어서 맥주도 잔뜩 사서 파티ㅎㅎ
정원도 조그맣게 있고 새하얀 욕조도 있고 있을 거 다 있는!!ㅎㅎㅎ
침구도 깔끔하게 세탁되어 있어서 포근하게 푹 잤답니다!!!
가족 단위나 친구들끼리 여행가도
호텔과 다르게 다른 이용자들 눈치 안 보고 지낼 수 있어서 정말 강추입니다!! 너무너무 좋았어요><
とってもステキな一泊になりました!
ありがとうございます😊

Ruhig gelegenes, traditionelles Machiya in der Nähe vom Nijo-jo.
Sehr sauberes, renoviertes, traditionelles Machi-ya (altes Stadthaus) das sehr zentral gelegen ist. Man kann das Schloss Nijo-jo und weiter Tempel und Schreine zu Fuß in weniger Zeit erreichen.
In der Umgebung gibt es viele Restaurants, Izakaya und auch Supermärkte/Conbinis.
Wir haben das Haus zu viert gemietet, und es war genau die richtige Größe für einen Trip nach Kyoto.
Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, so dass man auch kochen konnte.
Das Wohnzimmer ist mit Tatamimatten ausgelegt, und alle Räume sind wie frisch renoviert. Der Garten verbreitet auch eine schöne, traditionelle Atmosphäre.
Im Ganzen ist die Ausstattung sehr hochwertig!
Die Futons sind sehr bequem und man kann wirklich gut darin Schlafen! Wirklich empfehlenswert und weich!
Das Bad hat sowohl Badewanne als auch Dusche und es werden Zahnbürste, Duschgel, Schampoo, Spülung, etc. vorbereiten. Es gibt auch einen Fön!
Die Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner ist auch sehr praktisch!
Für den Check-in kam auch ein Mitarbeiter der Firma vorbei, der uns die Umgebung erklärt hat, viele Tipps gab und das Haus erklärt hat. Wirklich sehr professionell und freundlich!
Ich kann es jedem empfehlen hier zu übernachten, auch wenn man einen längeren Aufenthalt plant!
