    Traditional Japanese town house in the convenient location. House is so well designed for comfortable stays. Very impressed about door lock system. Keith was very helpful regarding information about Kyoto.

    The traditional design of the house was beautiful! It made my Kyoto experience super authentic. The location was very convenient, only 18 minute walk from the Pagoda photo spot. Fushimi Inari shrine is also very easy to access from here....

    The location is fantastic, close to Kyoto station and most of historical places and museums. There are couple of public bath houses in a walking distance too.

Suiren (water lilly) is a traditional, historic 'machiya' renovated sympathetically for our guests. The house has been painstakingly restored to preserve the features of this historical house so you can enjoy a cultural experience and the peaceful atmosphere of Kyoto in the comfort of your own home.. The bar counter in the dining kitchen gives the machiya a particularly romantic ambience. Underfloor heating throughout the first floor - even in the tatami room. This luxury feature is super rare for Kyoto guesthouses and of course it means you don't have to worry about being cold in the winter. Regarding the amenities: razors, combs, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, washing powder, all towels and linen are provided. For the bedrooms, the futons provided are at the very high end of luxury to ensure you have the perfect stay at Suiren:)
I am an Australian who has called Kyoto home for more than 20 years. In addition to hosting I also work as a guide - showing visitors from abroad everything this beautiful city has to offer. I am looking forward to welcoming you!
Guesthouse “Suiren”, or Water Lily, is a luxuriously renovated kyo-machiya located in the the sightseeing centre of Kyoto. Situated only 3 minutes on foot from Kiyomizu-gojo station, just south of Gion and the geisha district of miyagawa-cho and only moments from Kiyiomizudera temple, The station will take you directly to Fushimiinari shrine, the most visited sightseeing spot in Kyoto. The famous Kamogawa river is a 4 minute walk away. Kyoto station itself is a 7 minute taxi ride away. There are atmospheric cafes, restaurants, and a public bath(sento) which help immerse you in Japanese culture. As such, its a great house as a base for sightseeing. Also, it`s only a 5 minute walk to the Kamo River which local people in Kyoto enjoy walking along and gathering at. Why don’t you start a wonderful day by walking along the riverside in the morning sun shine?
