💡 Tips for Visitors

Book well in advance as traditional machiya accommodations are limited and highly sought after. Be prepared to remove shoes indoors and sleep on futon bedding laid directly on tatami mats, which is part of the authentic Japanese experience. Note that many machiya rentals require cash payment for security deposits, and English support may be limited, so having a translation app handy is recommended.
