古色古香的日式傳統民宿

相當具有傳統風味的一家民宿，但衛浴設施還是相當的現代化，不用擔心住得不舒服。 暖爐桌，是我覺得這家民宿最有特色的日式住宅設施，非常喜歡。 客廳和客房都備有相當強大的暖氣，相當舒適，完全不覺得外面是冬天。 唯一幾個缺點是，第一是交通離地下鐵有點距離，第二是走道浴室沒暖氣會有點冷。 整體來說，我相當推薦對文化有濃厚興趣的人來此住宿

Wohnen im schicken japanischen Stadthaus (Machiya)

Das Gion Koyuan ist ein klassisches japanisches Stadthaus (Machiya), mitten im schönen Gion-Viertel von Kioto gelegen. Das Haus ist eine wahre Freude, vereint es doch auf kleinstem Raum Schlafzimmer für vier Personen, zwei wunderschöne Bäder im japanischen Stil mit Ofuro und separater Dusche und modernster Toilettenanlage mit Duschfunktion usw. Man schläft auf Futons, die Schlafzimmer sind mit Tatamimatten belegt. Sehr angenehme Beleuchtung auch für europäische Augen, nicht die oftmals in Japan anzutreffende Neonbeleuchtung im Wohnzimmer. Es gibt ein kleines Atrium mit Kirschbaum und Steinlaterne. Die Küche mit Induktionskochplatte ist gut mit Hausrat (Geschirr, Kochtopf, Meßbecher) ausgestattet. Bei Ankunft liegt bereits ein Päckchen frischer Kaffee bereit, und zwei Flaschen Erfrischungsgetränk sind kaltgestellt. In zwei Minuten ist man auf der Hauptstraße des Gion-Viertels (Hanamikoji Dori), ideal zum Ausgehen. Ein schöner buddhistischer Tempel liegt auch um die Ecke. Das war die schönste Unterkunft während meiner Japanreise.

位置不錯, 但有點難走

找了一點時間, 位置方便, 附近有超市, 整潔, 設施齊全, 但有點老舊, 走路時地板聲音不小, 晚上外面聲音也不少

とても新設に対応して頂きました。 足りなかった珈琲のドリッパーも届けて下さり、部屋も清潔、広々と使えて、何より京都らしい町家の暮らしを体感できたのが良かったです。 キッチンの食器や調理用具などの備品もとても充実していました。

또 가고 싶은 곳

일본의 전통가옥을 체험하기에 아주 좋았습니다. 겨울이라 추울까 걱정했지만 히터를 미리 틀어주어서 따뜻한 집에 들어갈 수 있었네요. 청소년기 아이들 둘과 갔는데 아주 만족해 했습니다. 다만 길 앞으로 지나가는 소음들이 바로 여과없이 들려서 자다가 몇번 깬거 같아요. 차들도 생각보다 많이 다니더군요.

일본 체험 하지만 불편

일본식 숙소의 체험을 할 수 있었습니다. 하지만 담당자와 통화를 해서 문을 열어야 하는 불편함이 있었습니다. 이런 내용에 대한 사전 안내가 있었으면 좋겠습니다.

Beautiful house in the heart of old Kyoto

Traditional and comfortable in the centre of many temples and shrines. There are lots of great food options very close and public transport for exploring further afield.

A charming house

Charming house in the heart of Gion, a beautiful combination of Japanese tradition and comfort. Morning cornflakes in a nice imari bowl contributed nicely to the Kyoto esthetic overload.

Great location but

fantastic place and a real experience. the street it is on is a little loud that is my only fault for this great little experience, worth the expense if you are 4 people.

Traditional Kyoto town house in excellent location

Living like a local! The house is in the traditional layout with tatami mats in living room and bedroom and sliding screens to the living room. Kitchen and bathroom very modern high spec yet have the traditional feel. We walked to many tourist attractions directly from the house and excellent bus services are nearby. Futons are directly on the tatami mats, and the sitting room consists of just a low table and cushions to kneel on. There is a footwell under the table, so we could sit rather than kneel at the table, which was rather more comfortable for us Europians not used to kneeling and sitting on our feet. From the sitting room was a view to the delightful little courtyard garden. You have the whole house to yourself. A cleaner comes in at some point during the day, but no other staff. What we didn't realise was that we had to ring the agent to be met at the house. We turned up at check-in time but the place was deserted and my mobile phone didn't work. You need 4G in Japan. The taxi driver didn't know the address and you need a printout of the map to show him!
