Due to it being an older building, insulation isn’t very good and gets very cold in the winter and need heaters in all rooms. Location is not great as it is walking distance to most places.

"liked the location"

"The machiya was fantastic!! Great location!! Very clean and had all the amenities we wanted! Upstairs room with Western beds was spacious and beautiful! The boys loved the futons downstairs for a true traditional Japanese experience. "

"We stayed in a Superior Triple Room as a family of four and with one large suitcase, the space was adequate. Two large suitcases might have been tight. The room was nice and clean.

"Room was unclean and bathroom taps leaked. Lobby was messy. Using the hot water system was a pain "
