    Location can’t be beat. Even though we were in the heart of the action, the machiya is actually located in a secluded nook so it’s not noisy at all. The place itself is immaculate and cozy
  • Kelli

    Great location and heated flooring. Off the busy road down an alley right at the base of the pagoda.

    The machiya is quiet and cozy. The bath is very special. Comfortable and attractive lodging.
