beautiful street and location, from the street we had a great view of the Yasaka pagoda. They provided us umbrellas to use during our stay and were able to hold our luggage before check in and after check out as well. From our location we were a short <3 m walk away to multiple convenience stores and main road to catch taxis from.

BenTen Residences offer a Japanese machiya accommodation in the heart of Higashiyama, Kyoto. Yasaka Shrine is 7 minutes on foot, while Kiyomizu Temple is a 14-minute stroll. BenTen Residences was featured as 1 of the Top 10 vacation homes in 2017 by Dwell. Free WiFi access is provided throughout the entire property.

A little gem in Kyoto, tucked away in a quiet corner in the area between Gion and Kiyomizu, however close enough to reach dome major highlights by foot. Higashiyama is my favourite area in Kyoto and we loved the vicinity of the hills and the greenery. Although easily reachable by public transport from Kyoto station, the property feels secluded and away from the noise. We loved to stroll around the area, discover bars or cafes in hidden alleys and take in the beauty of the shrines and temples along the way. The house itself is spacious for a party of four (ot could sleep more but then luggage handling might be an issue) and still has the touch and feel of s newly decorated place. The attention to detail is pitsyanding and most of sll we loved thst thr place had a simplistic feel to it in the positive sense. The house is virtually tchotchke and clutter free but offers alll necessities for the modern traveller.

    The building has an open courtyard with fireplaces and cozy areas to sit and chat to other travelers. They offer a free drink every day which is a nice touch. Great location behind the station, and very quiet at night. Room size was ok, and we had a good size balcony.

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    I liked everything. I have been staying here once in 2019, and it was still as cozy as i remembered. The location is close to the train station, and the common room is super nice and cosy. The bunk beds are big and has privacy curtains, which i loved. I stayed during New Years and the host had arranged New Years dinner for the guests. I did not join but i though that was very kind and a nice offer for all of us travelling during the holidays.

    The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.
