These architectures still dot the city of Kyoto, nestled inbetween modern buildings, or tucked away in alleyways and small side streets. Since you can find MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Kyoto machiya townhouses in various locations throughout the city, you'll be sure to find the perfect house to fit your travel needs.
