Private Villas & Stays

Pet-owning families or groups wanting an authentic Kyoto machiya experience — tatami rooms, courtyard garden, private ceramic bath — in one of the only traditional townhouses in Kyoto that truly welcomes pets.

Pets must stay in the designated pet area (pet circle next to the kitchen on the 1st floor) — not permitted to roam freely through all tatami rooms. No elevator — 2nd floor rooms require carrying luggage up stairs. Check-in requires cash payment in person at the naokonoza office — confirm the office location and hours when you receive your booking confirmation. If your arrival time changes, contact the property at least 2 hours in advance. The number of pets and species accepted was not explicitly limited in official sources — confirm when booking.

Whether cats are accepted in addition to dogs has not been confirmed — contact the property before booking if you're traveling with a cat. Dog size/weight limit not publicly specified — confirm directly if your dog is large. Self check-in only — no front desk on-site. Breakfast must be pre-ordered in advance. No on-site parking — use nearby paid car parks.

Families or small groups (up to 5) who want a fully private machiya with real self-catering capability, or travelers with dietary restrictions looking for a kitchen-equipped stay with optional Japanese vegetarian meal delivery.
