Kyoto Machiya Hotel - What to Expect if you Stay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2019
- 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.
Got a little PTSD when you mentioned the Game of Thrones finale
I've got still angry...
Kyo-Machiya looks so peaceful with the garden. Love the traditional design
You handling the ending of GOT so well my dude XD, so many of us devistated XD
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for all the great informative videos. When we visit Japan, I feel like we will know so much! Thanks Paolo!!
I love how you politely express your disappointment/unsure thoughts about the GOT ending
I love Kyoto! The matchiya is so cute. That sone bath is amazing!!
What a nice place to stay. Thanks for the video!
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!
Great videos, very informational. I love showing my kids what it is like in Japan since I was stationed there for a few years.
Love the hotel, that tub is awesome. Love these 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.
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 🙏🇬🇧🏴
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 for sharing, Paolo! I'm headed to Kyoto next month, so this is helpful.
I am so in love with your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Maiko! You poor lady. I totally get the whole women’s sickness thing. Wishing you well. X
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
Another great video. 👍🏼😀
Very interesting and informative!
great video paulo as always
Lovely, quiet and peaceful hotel, ideal for reset my brain.
the only tolerable japan you tuber, love it
Saludos me encantan tus videos.👍
Que hermoso es Japón.🇯🇵
Very cool! Thx!
Show more area of Osaka,Japan and Akita,Japan, and more so Excited the more your showing me I am planning a head for every tip yr giving me can really help. Thank you.
Love your videos!
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.
So cozzzzyyyy
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!
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
This Video is so C H I L L . Keep up the Great Videos :)
I love you man!!! I wanna go to Japan some day!!
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
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**
Keep it up Paola I love ur chanel
Paolo: Sometimes I don't understand her.
Every woman ever: We completely understand.
Very nice, I would stay there!
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! 😉
Thanks Paulo! I booked a night here for my Kyoto stop :)
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
Wow, this place is so nice, and so pricey as well. I went to Kyoto before, but never tried out Machiya hotel.
Paolo from KYOTO. No matter how sucks GOT ending I always love Kyoto video.
Ah Maiko I feel your pain 😬😬😬
Hello Paolo ! Good vidéo !
It's really nice there.
Awesome
Nice place👌
very beautiful house
wow its good i wanna go there
It's pretty amazing you didn't tear the whole hotel down after watching the GoT finale.
..................Japan knows how to pamper people......
Fantastico 👍grazie 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I plan on buying one of these as soon as I can get back to Japan probably not as nice as this but definitely in Kyoto
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!
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
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
I always stay in regular hotels and should stay in a traditional hotel next time I visit Japan. The country is foreign to me because I am a third generation immigrant from Japan and do not think like Japanese. I like being educated by your channel.
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?
Love to hear when Maiko say something (3:20)... She's funny…!
Japan is so clean
Your video looks awesome!!! Did you guys get new equipment? Good job you guys!
I fully understand Morning Maiko.
SHE'S AWESOME...
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
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.
I fell in love with your smile
6:10 OMG!! I NEED THAT!!
KYOTO arashiyama and ponto cyo
and Kyoto tower is beautyful💔💔💔
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.
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?!
I could see the disappointment on your face after watching the GoT finale...😭I hope you still had a pleasant trip!
9:30 legends say the camera is still rolling
Love your channel! Look forward to every episode....I hated the ending of GOT 👺👺👺👺👺👺 🔥 🐉
I really really love Japanese foods...
Lovely videos. Thanks for the tips,I will use your advice when I go to Japan. Lived in Korea for about 10 years, never got used to sitting on the floor, but I did like the heated floors.
GOT's ending was awful. The Fan-Made Game of Thrones Alternate Ending Turns Bran Into the Villain, is a much better ending.
Staying at a place like this would make that long !! Flight to japan worth it, dope video.
I like how Maiko took over the entire bed while you did your morning routine. I feel that on a spiritual level lmfao
I sometimes wonder how many cams you have (wake up scenes) ? Also is there a waterproof one in case you actually accidentally left in the washing machine for that "laundry" segment....which was a very informative part....love these vids.
Earlier this week i stayed a couple doors down from this place at IMU hotel
和訳もおもろいし日本人でも知らない日本文化知れて最高
So other than video making, what exactly is your line of work or profession??
Been following you for a while now.. Great Vids.. What is your audio & video recorder? 😊
the matcha lady are stunning ;)
I stopped watching the Warriors-Raptors because this is clearly the better option. Thanks for schooling us on these types of hotels.
What are the main differences between a Machiya and a Ryoken? Is it basically a townhouse vs a room? By the way, love all your videos, we'll be in Japan in about 10 days and a large part of schedule was inspired by your vids!
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?
Oh man, I hope that last GoT episode didnt screw with your trip
Same here Maiko ❤️
We were in Kyoto at the same time!
