house Saigawa
Machiya right on the river
Description
As you enter, the first floor has the kitchen, bath, and living room with a veranda and a small garden providing a perfect place to relax. Up on the second floor, there is a tastefully done circular window at the top of the stairs, that looks out onto the river. There are two bedrooms, one with western beds and one with traditional futons. The house gets a lot natural light and has stunning views of the Saigawa river from the second floor. In the spring, the river side is lined with blooming cherry blossom trees.
As you step out of the house, not only can you relax by the river, but the house is located just minutes from downtown and the famous samurai district. Shopping, nightlife, the Nomura samurai house, and the ninja temple are all about a 5 to 10 minute walk away. As for the restaurants, this area has almost anything you could want, from delicious sushi, tasty ramen, and enough Izakayas, bars and karaoke joints to have a good time any night of the week.

La maison était parfaite, calme, propre et pratique.
Highly recommend staying at this place!
Loved the Japanese feel of the place! From the tatami lounge area, the quaint little bamboo garden, the circular window with the shoji screen to all the lovely Japanese decorations. The flower/vase arrangements were stunning! Also really appreciated the western touches to make the place more comfortable - the Japanese table has a hole underneath so that I could sit comfortably and not cross my legs and there were normal beds in one room as well as futons in the other room.
The location was excellent. Right by the riverside for a lovely view and stroll and just a few minutes walk from the samurai village and main dining/shopping district.
The host Chris was fantastic. He's a local with great tips of places to eat and sight see.
Overall much better than staying in a cramped, boring hotel room. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next visit!
Merci à Chris pour son accueil et La journee passée avec lui La maison est très agréable et bien placée
Todo muy bien, la casa muy nueva y muy bien situada, Servicio impecable.
