Important points about staying in a Machiya house. By staying in a Machiya home, we offer you a rare and unique glimpse into the traditional way of life in Kyoto. As such, there are some things which are different from staying in a modern home: i). Please note that such as wall insulation for winter and cooling ventilation in summer are not equipped in the house, so the property may get colder than many guests are used to in winter and hot and humid in summer. While we do provide air conditioning, the space may not be perfectly conditioned as it would it a more modern property. Our air-conditioning units take about 10 minutes to start producing hot or cool air respectively and may not work as quickly as units in other countries. We ask for our guests’ patience when using the air-conditioning in the property. ii). We ask all our guests to check the floor plan and size of the property in the photos of this listing carefully before placing the reservation. Machiya houses are townhouses and so they are smaller inside than average homes. Additionally, stairs may be narrow and are unsuitable for the elderly or for carrying large luggage. Please also note that some machiya houses are darker inside than usual due to being very close to each other. Our listing photos are as accurate as possible, however the acceptability of the size of the property varies depending on the guests staying, so please keep this in mind. For Japanese people living in Kyoto, these sizes are standard.
 iii). Our guests will be staying in a close-knit Japanese neighborhood as machiya houses tend to be very close to each other due to the original design of Kyoto city. This creates a strong community among the neighbors that look out for each other. Occasionally noises and smells of cooking may be noticed in the neighborhood - we ask for our guests’ cooperation in understanding that this is part of the Japanese way of life by keeping the noise down to a minimum, such as not rolling suitcases or talking late at night in the alleyways, and to refrain from cooking using strong-smelling ingredients that may cause discomfort for others. iv). The plumbing in the property is old and there may be times when issues may occur, however infrequent. We conduct regular check of the pipes and maintain them as best as we can. We will do our best to assist you if there are any problems, however please note this in advance. Please note that by placing a reservation with us, we assume our guests have checked the above details carefully. If there are any frustrations felt by the change in living conditions at the machiya, we will do our our best to accommodate our guests’s needs, however we ask that those wishing to stay with us are aware of the above conditions so that they can enjoy the stay at our property and that expectations are met.
