One of our favourite experiences while visiting Kyoto was staying in an authentic Japanese machiya at Iori Machiya Stay’s Izumiya-Cho Machiaya. The wooden townhouse located along the Kamo River was over 90 years old and restored to keep all the charm and nostalgia of it’s past. The split level house features a beautiful and spacious tatami dining area with river views, perfect for family dinners or a quiet evening with friends, and a stunning terrace. If you are worried about sleeping on traditional tatami, Iori Machiya has expertly placed cozy and luxurious mattresses and bedding upon the flooring, ensuring you have am extremely decadent and comfortable night’s sleep. The master bedroom also features views of Kyoto and we loved the relaxing cedar bathtub and spacious bathrooms. The neighborhood is full of restaurants, markets, and pretty trees lining the streets. If you truly want to live like a local and are traveling with a group or family, this is an ideal accommodation in Kyoto.
