Kyoto kiyomizu machiya 'NAGOMI'

We stayed as a family of 5 and had a great time. Akemi was a kind, very responsive host. We especially enjoyed the traditional home at the end of a charming alley, in what felt like Kyoto’s most charming neighborhood. The location was perfect.

The old houses have a lovely wooden feel, though the soundproofing isn’t great. It’s a bit of a struggle to get there with luggage, but once you’re settled, walking out is easy. Taxis can come up at night, while daytime access is less ideal with all the tourists. At the end of the alley is “Koizumi-do,” a fortune-telling shop for women. Outside the alley there are shops selling Okamoto kimonos. Yasaka Shrine is walkable on the way toward Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and there are supermarkets and convenience stores along the main street. Staying here has its own special charm.

A very nice traditional house in the middle of the Kiyumizu Temple district. It has a traditional room, two small rooms with western beds, and an equipped kitchen. The bathroom has a washing machine, and the concierge service was very good. Highly recommended!
