brett_jackson 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 My partner and I stayed at Shimizu, in Kyoto last month for 3 nights: http://www.japaneseguesthouses.com/db/kyoto/shimizu.htm It was really, really nice. The people are really friendly, and the place is nice, clean, comfortable and seemingly new. Apparently it's a 'modern' Ryokan. The only difference I noticed is there was no little maid to take us to our rooms, and our beds always stayed out (we could put them away if we wanted). But the Tatami was there, we slept on futons, wore the slippers etc. It's about 5 - 10 minutes walk north of Kyoto Station, in a little alley. They even let you 'book' the hot bath room so if you're a couple you can go in there together and lock the door, as opposed to sitting in baths different rooms. NOTE: If you're a non-smoker and hate the smell like I do, ask for one of the non-smoking rooms. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 This is very nice. You can rent Machiya(Very traditional Japanese town house, modern remodeled iniside) for a week. It looks expensive but if you are big group, it'll be cheap and very fun to have experience to share traditional Japanese house with your friends! I'd love to stay this house. Anyone interested in sharing this house with me? http://www.kyoto-machiya.com/weekly/machiya/nishi.html Link to post Share on other sites
