Suigetsu Machiya House

The hotel that manages the accommodation is near Kyoto Station, so you have to stop by there and check in first. I liked that if you leave your luggage at the hotel, one bag per person will be moved to the accommodation for free. The staff were all friendly. The 800 yen tax can only be paid in cash. The alley where the accommodation is located has an old Japanese feel, so it looks great if you take pictures in front of it. The accommodation is located in the alley on the left when you walk straight for about 5 minutes from Kiyomizu Gojo Station Exit 4. There are Lawson, Family Mart, and 7-Eleven on the way, so you can buy what you need. When I got to the accommodation, the heater was smartly turned on. The room on the second floor was small so it was warm just by turning on the heater, but the first floor was so spacious that it was cold even with the heater on. Due to the nature of the building, it is not good at blocking outside air, so it will be very cold in the winter. The sleeping space is two connected rooms on the second floor, and each has a heater. The accommodation is well-equipped with amenities, such as a dryer, washing machine, iron, umbrella, kitchen tools and tableware, rice cooker, microwave, and Wi-Fi, so you can stay for a long time. Mirrors are only in the bathroom. Since there is no dressing table, it would be much better to have a table mirror. The water in the bathroom shower doesn't drain well, so if you do something wrong, it could turn into a bathhouse. You have to turn the water on low to take a shower. The hot water works very well. I don't know if it's because it's a wooden building, but it's very dusty. I think it would be nice to have an air purifier. Even considering the few shortcomings mentioned above, it was a great place I would definitely stay again! I really liked the location, service, and feel of the accommodation!
