Kyoto's Battle Of The Best: Machiya Vs Airbnb
The nature of Kyoto is one that envelops you in a sweet, tranquil charm after delighting you with visits to its unrivalled natural landscapes, temples, and shrines. But while the city itself may satisfy your wanderlust, let the accommodation seal the deal. With plenty of opportunities for you to experience a traditional Japanese stay, your slice of Kyoto living no longer ceases with the sightseeing, shopping, and eating. In this article, we will look into some of the city’s best machiya (traditional wooden townhouses) and traditionally-styled Airbnb apartments. Suitable for every traveller and budget, you’re one step closer to a meaningful and enriching stay. Fun fact: what is a machiya? And how is it different from a ryokan? Easily confused by foreign travellers, the main difference between the two lodgings is that while the ryokan adopts an all-inclusive stay experience, the machiya functions more as a guesthouse. A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn that typically offers guests tea and snacks upon check-in, amenities, full-board meals, and an onsen (either in the form of a public bath or en-suite). While the machiya doesn’t provide meals and exclusive hospitality services, the architecture and ambience is similar to the ryokan’s and they are commonly located downtown.
