- "We stayed at Matsumi ann at K's villa for 4 nights with family of 6 including 2 young children aging 2 and 4 years old. Property is located in reasonably convenient location with convenience store 3 minutes walk and Kyoto station 15 minutes by walk. I couldn't fault the accommodation. It's exactly as described. There's laundry machine within the premises and 4 bicycles available and free to use. However, as there's shoji (paper base door and very thin glasses, cautions required if you are to stay here with young children. Also, as neighbourhood is quiet, you should be prepared to keep your stay as quiet as possible (wasn't the case for us). We were lucky to witness full cherry Blossom during our stay as cherry Blossomed late this year (we stayed 5-9 April 2024). Magnificent view from the second floor and bath tab. Staff, Mr Suzuki was very helpful and informative. Overall, we had fabulous time and would highly recommend this accommodation. "

- "There was 8 of us who stayed in the house and we all had our own bed. That is why I booked this house and it was perfect. Don’t hesitate if you’re debating on it. You’ll be so glad you did. You’ll get an authentic feeling stay. Short 4 min walk to 7 Eleven and 6 min walk to bus. It is a farther walk (15ish min) from subway, which is what you’ll need to take when you have luggage. This was a bummer but we got it done. The 3 cons I have is that it’s far away from subway station. Currently as of this review there is construction on a new home across the street. And it’s a TINY street so you’ll get woken up by that banging every morning. And the last is that the dryer didn’t work. All in all, I still would stay here again. We all loved it!"

The space

The house was built on Meiji to Taisho period, which is more than 100 years old. All those years, It has been inherited within a Geisha family and operated as a ochaya (teahouses). where geiko (Kyoto dialect for geisha) and maiko (geiko apprentices) entertain by performing traditional music and dance. The performance will happen on the 1st floor only and 2nd floor is the for ladies only, where the Geiko and Maiko prepare themselves for the performance and makeup. As such, there are many interesting designs in the house for Geisha.

History and Features:
The house of Kumo.Gion was established in the Japanese Samurai era, which is more than 100 years ago. The building date is unclear, as the official record of Kyoto building is only dated up to 4th Taisho year (1915). The previous owner was once a geisha, and the house was inherited from the Edo period for five Geisha generations operated as the tea house (ochaya). When guests come to the house, maiko and geisha will carry out a performance. The 1st floor is the performance area, and the 2nd floor is the place where maiko and geisha can dress up. The structure and decoration details are designed for Geisha's daily life, for example, we have two stairs in two different directions, which is very rare in Kyoto. In this way geishas and their dressing maids can go downstairs in different directions, so the guests waiting in the lobby can only catch sight of geishas rather than maids.

Before Kumo.Gion starts operating as Boutique hotel, no male could go to the 2nd floor of the house. The Japanese ceilings of the two rooms upstairs very old are separately designed according to the patterns of cabin and maiko singing field. Illuminators on the in the house are antique lamps of the Taisho period, and some of their designs are inspired by Geisha culture in Gion. We also selected Kyoto specialties like Nishijin Kimono belt with colorful but traditional patterns to decorate the bedrooms.

There is an exquisite Japanese garden embraced by the house. There are camellia japonica, nandina, red leaves, hydrangea serrata, Japanese apricot, orchid, chrysanthemum and other flowers and plants from Japan. You can open the window and experience the breeze from the garden and enjoy the changing seasons while taking a long bath in the bathtub. You can also try to practice Zen, by sitting with the nature and sensing the inside and sensing the moment. Besides, it is available to wear clogs on the quartzite and step into the garden. At the moment, you can have a ladle of clean water to wash hands and baptize the spirit.

We also collected antique paintings for Kumo Machiya. We change the paintings as the season changes. For Spring, summer and autumn, there are three pieces of fish by Tanaka Bai Yin, a famous painter in Meiji. Tanaka Bai Yin is the student of Japanese literati painting master Tanomura Cyokunyu. Painting manifests spring with plecoglossus altivelis, summer with globefish and autumn with shrimp. For winter, we chose a piece by the famous painter Matsumura Keibun of the edo period. Matsumura Keibun is the representative of the Japanese flower-and-bird painting, who is known as the “Flower-bird Keibun". The Painting takes the toon flower blooming in the winter to represent winter, and the camellia is just the chief species in the Kumo.Gion garden.

It is worth mentioning that all beddings, mattresses, pillows and cushions in the house are specially custom-made for Kumo.Gion by the shop Los Takaoka Ya in Kyoto with more than 400 years history. We hope you enjoy the of sleep as the noble warriors in Azuchi-Momoyama period.

- "All of the hotels were booked, so we stayed here. Glad we did. We were met by Penny at the location, who spoke with a perfect So-Cal accent. No TV or sofas, but the four of us were quite comfortable. Be prepared for the Japanese experience! Sleep on futons and sit on pillows around the small dining table. The kitchen is limited, but we ate out in the many restaurants in the area. Recommend the nearby Tully's for your morning coffee and danishes. It opens at 8:00am. I went for a run every morning along the river bank. While the nearby Geisha street can be crowded, always quiet at the house. Love the two japanese toilets! And a nice shower/tub. "

Blending authentic Japanese motifs with a sense of modern fun, Modern Machiya Mibu offers the best of both worlds: the pleasure that comes with staying in a traditional-style Japanese home, but with the finishes of a more modern abode. Although it looks like an elegant but straightforward home from the exterior, there’s an undeniable sense of playfulness embedded in the design of the interior of Modern Machiya Mibu, with its bright pops of color and retro-quaint furnishings.
The house was constructed in the 1950s and was once a proud family home, most well-known for the fact that the headquarters of the Shin-sen-gumi, a historic military police force organized by the Bakufu (military government) during Japan’s Bakumatsu period, was located down the road from where Mibu now sits until 1869.

This Kyo-machiya (traditional Kyoto house) styled home is big enough to comfortably accommodate nine people without feeling cramped. The two-story house features an additional mini-kitchen on the second floor to keep everyone happy. Spend a little time here, and you’ll easily fall in love with the house’s quirky personality and clear connection to the area’s heritage, and don’t forget to put aside a few hours to soak in the stylishly modern bath, which comes complete with private garden views.

- "The property was just as advertised and perfect for 3 generations of a family to stay together comfortably. The location was walking distance to bus stops, train stations, convenience stores and supermarkets. The only issues were that the rooms and house gets very cold if the heat is not constantly running and there was no electricity coming from the outlets in the dining room or bedroom directly above it. These are not something that should deter someone from staying at this location."
