Bonbori an Machiya House

Loved our stay at Bonbori. The Machiya is located inside the pedestrian district near Yasaka Pagoda, so you’ll need to walk for a couple of blocks to get to the outside street for taking taxi/uber/bus. I recommend using their luggage delivery service if you have big suitcases, so you don’t have to maneuver them on the cobblestone roads. Early morning and late night walks around Ninenzaka and Kiyomizudera was wonderful, the only way to get some nice photos without the crowds. The house itself is lovely, smaller than I expected but very functional. Do bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, and be mindful of the noises you make while in the house, the walls are paper thin.
