Kyoto Machiya Hotel - What to Expect if you Stay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Kyoto Machiya aka Kyo-Machiya are traditional Japanese wooden townhouses and if you are visiting Kyoto, you may want to considering staying in a Kyo-Machiya. This Japan Guide explores what it is like to stay in an authentic Kyo Machiya and what you can expect in these type of Kyoto hotels. Machiyas are built using a interlocking wooden parts and were popular with Kyoto Merchants before WWII. Since Kyoto was saved from air raids during the war, many of the Machiyas in are still around to this day, but once torn down these Machiyas will likely never be rebuilt. Walking inside, you truly feel like you’re a part of history.
Machiya Hotels are setup similar to what you would expect from a Kyoto Airbnb Room in that the house is separate and all to yourself. You can organize to have house cleaning depending on the owner and in my case there was a washing machine and dryer facilities. This particular complex has 4 machiyas all together perfect for groups and families.
So There are 6 different types of Kyo-Machiya, but this one is a SoNikai, which means it has a high 2nd floor ceiling especially when compared to the tsushi-nikai kyo-machiya with low ceilings.
A garden in the back is another characteristic of a Machiya. Since many machiyas back in the day were side by side with neighbors, having this garden was an important part of the design. The garden allows for more sunlight and air circulation into the house, but it also creates a seamless blend between nature and living space.

The agoda.com website has very few choices for people unable or unwilling to spend hundreds of dollars a night.
What the hell 😠
She is taking a bath and your filming
Shame on you 😤😠
is this an affiliate link? Because I would love to use it if it supports the channel. Second, do you book through kyotomachiya.com or through agoda?
Thank you again for staying with us. Hope to have you back soon.
またおこしやす
as soon as she said “cos im a girl” i knew exactly why she was “sick” lol
much love to you girl!!!🖤💜🖤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
lol i understood what she meant n im a guy
guess they dont have midol in japan xD
pretty sure everyone knew what she was talking about. It's not rare.
Kahlua and peace & quite. That’s the best combo.
Stomach hurt may be
Been watching your stuffs on my large TV for a few hours now... You're like my travel guide.
Thanks for watching Ray Mak!
I have powered through at least 8 videos today...! LOL I. CAN'T. STOP
Oh my god, you are even here?!
Aww poor Maiko! Sometimes being a woman is definitely tough. Some days are just tougher on our bodies than others as well. Glad she still got to be there to enjoy the stay and food 😊.
I liked that this video showed your regular morning routine. Some shots are candid, more personal, sharing how your relationship with your wife. It's kind of sharing your life/ lifestyle with your viewers. It's kind of nice. Keep up those great videos coming.
Kyo-Machiya looks so peaceful with the garden. Love the traditional design
Got a little PTSD when you mentioned the Game of Thrones finale
I've got still angry...
I absolutely love how the Japanese woodworkers can put together such beautiful buildings without any screws, nails or nuts&bolts. I have a bunch of books on the subject and even though I have read them all several times I am still blown away...:) Paolo thanks once again for sharing your adventures with us all:) Oh and Maiko also...:)☮🙃
Yeah, it's pretty crazy how they stay up despite earthquakes. Definitely becoming a lost art.
You handling the ending of GOT so well my dude XD, so many of us devistated XD
There is a certain coziness and familiar feeling in your videos. It gives them an extra oomph. Thank you for sharing your experiences. :)
Hey Paolo , I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos , I had commented a couple of months back saying that I was going to Japan in march, I kept watching your videos and learned more and more , when in japan i felt so confident about all the things I had learned from you , I knew more than I thought and was surprised, so yet again thank you soo much you’ve helped more then I imagined , in japan and in my daily life , peace .
Thanks Luchi Swidan! I'm happy that the videos helped you on your trip.
I love how you politely express your disappointment/unsure thoughts about the GOT ending
Maiko had lady things!! 😗 loved the kaiseki!!! ♥️
Maiko looks like she felt the same way about the GoT-Ending as my wife and I did back then... :D
We love you guys!
Greetings from Germany
Such a wonderful Machi-ya, they could prepare Jinbei, or Yukata for visitors so that many foreigner would love this place more🤔 but pretty beautiful, I wanna stay there one day though😁
Hey Rion, sooo amazed to catch your comment here 🤣
Hopefully I wanna stay there one day too, ganbarimasu 🤑💪🏾
Gaoooo
I know that GOT ending ruined his night.
All these years later, and I'm still salty about it. Will never rewatch even the great first four seasons.
Would love to stay in traditional style place like that then just average hotel room. Love the 🛁! Great video guys 🙏
Most of the time in the room is spent sleeping. Unless you're filthy rich, would you really love to spend hundreds of dollars for a room just to sleep in? If your priorities are like mine (sightseeing and good eating), then forget the fancy overpriced traditional places and go for an "average room" in an "average business hotel." They're practical and (still) affordable. When the dreaded Olympix come, though, all bets are off. That will be the time to stay FAR away from Japan.
I love Kyoto! The matchiya is so cute. That sone bath is amazing!!
I am so in love with your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Love the hotel, that tub is awesome. Love these videos.
Thanks for sharing, Paolo! I'm headed to Kyoto next month, so this is helpful.
the only tolerable japan you tuber, love it
Love your videos. Visited Japan the last two weeks of May and can't stop thinking about it!!! Hope to go back in the next 5 years. **Hugs to Maiko. It does suck to be a woman sometimes**
Oh Maiko! You poor lady. I totally get the whole women’s sickness thing. Wishing you well. X
So cozzzzyyyy
Thanks mate I saw all yours video from Japan and help a lot with my trip
I am in Tokyo finishing my trip to Japan in 2 day with my wife and 3 kids
We spend 12 day and we made a lot in 12 days with 3 kids, Sofia 8 years old, Nicolas 5, Jasmin 3. And we made:
Disneyland, Disney sea, universal
Studios Osaka, Osaka castle, Tokyo toei studio, arashiyama bamboo forest.
Akihabara, kamakura.
Thanks very much for you help
Hey Paolo & Maiko! Really love your videos, I never miss one and I'm at a point where I'm watching all the old ones since I've watched them all. It would be nice to have a q&a video where you answer our questions!
..................Japan knows how to pamper people......
It's really nice there.
Lovely, quiet and peaceful hotel, ideal for reset my brain.
Love to hear when Maiko say something (3:20)... She's funny…!
Your videos are getting even more excited for my 7th Japan trip this November. And I'll have to buy one of your t shirts before hand!
Thanks Simon Overall! I appreciate the support!
I love the traditional design of the hotel.. if I could just get my hands on a traditional Japanese looking house myself!!
You can buy them :D they start at around 350k or so
FoodieBitesMLP that’s manageable indeed
Japan is so clean
Last time we were in Kyoto we stayed at the lovely Rengetsu Ryokan in Arishiyama, next time we go I think I'd like to try this spot.
Wow, this place is so nice, and so pricey as well. I went to Kyoto before, but never tried out Machiya hotel.
Thank you for all the great informative videos. When we visit Japan, I feel like we will know so much! Thanks Paolo!!
SHE'S AWESOME...
Ah Maiko I feel your pain 😬😬😬
What a nice place to stay. Thanks for the video!
I spend sooo much time watching your videos. My husband and I are coming to Japan in October and we are so excited :D thank you for your awesome videos
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I plan on going back to Kyoto and never considered a Kyo-Machiya as a place to stay. It's perfect for the # of people that I plan on traveling with and will consider it for my trip. Absolutely beautiful.
Paolo from KYOTO. No matter how sucks GOT ending I always love Kyoto video.
Paolo: Sometimes I don't understand her.
Every woman ever: We completely understand.
An other great video thanks this looks like a really relaxing place 😴 and just wanted to say you both do a great job with these videos even when you not feeling so good you both still make great videos thanks again 🙏🇬🇧🏴
It's pretty amazing you didn't tear the whole hotel down after watching the GoT finale.
I could see the disappointment on your face after watching the GoT finale...😭I hope you still had a pleasant trip!
I love you man!!! I wanna go to Japan some day!!
I fully understand Morning Maiko.
Didn't know this type of hotel or overnight accommodation existed. I would have preferred this much more than a Ryokan. The problem with a Ryokan for me personally is that I wanted a stationary sleeping mattress at all hours especially after doing long hours of walking. Nonetheless, again great video content Paolo
KYOTO arashiyama and ponto cyo
and Kyoto tower is beautyful💔💔💔
Great videos, very informational. I love showing my kids what it is like in Japan since I was stationed there for a few years.
Saludos me encantan tus videos.👍
Que hermoso es Japón.🇯🇵
Subscribed. Not just for the information about Japan and the things you show, but because you and Maiko are interesting people. This content has soul. Perhaps a "Truman Show" of your life would be pretty cool
great video paulo as always
Very nice, I would stay there!
9:30 legends say the camera is still rolling
Another great video. 👍🏼😀
This Video is so C H I L L . Keep up the Great Videos :)
Keep it up Paola I love ur chanel
Very interesting and informative!
wow its good i wanna go there
Fantastico 👍grazie 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
the matcha lady are stunning ;)
Wow, This is so cool here, I love this hotel, it's so lovely. Thanks for showing and telling all about it Paolo, it's so inspiring, well done! 😉
Earlier this week i stayed a couple doors down from this place at IMU hotel
階段の踊場あたりに造作した
部屋を中二階 (ちゅうにかい)
屋根をオーバーハングさせて
造作した部屋を
屋根裏 🍃🍀🌺🌸🌷
Staying at a place like this would make that long !! Flight to japan worth it, dope video.
Love your videos!
I fell in love with your smile
I like how Maiko took over the entire bed while you did your morning routine. I feel that on a spiritual level lmfao
I stayed at one in Kyoto and it was amazing, but nowhere near as nice and modern as this one. Now I want to fly my entire family out to Kyoto just to stay at the one in the video! I like the yay sound bite when ya found the washer and dryer lol.
Thanks Paulo! I booked a night here for my Kyoto stop :)
Like that waaaaay more than traditional hotels. It's a shame they aren't everywhere. That bathtub was gorgeous! Where do you find something like that?
So other than video making, what exactly is your line of work or profession??
Oh man, I hope that last GoT episode didnt screw with your trip
I've found my dream home. 😊Thanks, dude! Great immersive experience. And it's just so elegant how food and beverages are served.
(it's just my first visit but, uhh, maybe next time give an ailing associate some space ...for all our sakes?😕)
Hey Paolo, love your videos. They're helping me a lot right now. I landed yesterday in Tokyo for the first time.
I don't know if you'll see this but in one video you mentioned an app that you can point in any direction and it shows restroom, atm, and other locations using what looked like augmented reality. What's the app?!
Cleganebowl was the best bit
Love your channel! Look forward to every episode....I hated the ending of GOT 👺👺👺👺👺👺 🔥 🐉
I really really love Japanese foods...
As much as I love the beauty of Japan, I am personally a big fan of skyscrapers (specially the ones China got to offer). But soon enough, I would love to travel to Japan and you are surely my travel guide. Been sub for so long
6:10 OMG!! I NEED THAT!!
Hello Paolo ! Good vidéo !
Your the best Paolo. I made a donation so you can take your wife out or even get a beer. Thank you for making such amazing content
Thanks TheArmyGamer! That means a lot!!!!!!
Oh man! This is the day (May 22nd) me and my wife somehow ran into you and Maiko. It was early in the morning and I believe you guys where just leaving this hotel to go about your day. We where on our way to Shinsen-en Garden and Nijo Castle. It was so random....I saw you and was like "Is that Paulo?" haha what a funny coincidence. We thought about asking for a picture but didn't want to impose.
No worries. Would have been happy to take a picture.
Good video, this seems kinda cool. We stayed at a conventional hotel (Daiwa Roynet?) when we visited Kyoto last year, I'm curious to try this now. I discovered your videos while in Japan searching for things to do, you're spot on. Hmm... Maiko sick the morning after?
Very cool! Thx!
I could live in one of those
I stopped watching the Warriors-Raptors because this is clearly the better option. Thanks for schooling us on these types of hotels.
Your video looks awesome!!! Did you guys get new equipment? Good job you guys!
We were in Kyoto at the same time!
Hi Paolo! Love your videos! I'm going to Tokyo this October and going to Mount Fuji is part of the itinerary. Can you do a video on options to get there and things to do there or near the Kawaguchi Lake? Thanks!
I would like to see more of the diverse japanese music scene. How the culture is in the jrock scene
Awesome
I love to stay this hotel it makes me I’m in my real home
Please more of Japanese full day
Have to Win to lottery to afford a trip to Japan because when I travel I go all out .would have to stay at the Machiya Hotel where the ceiling is high being I'm over 6 feet tall.
whoa, they delivered everything?
