Could you please recommend a place to stay in a Kyoto townhouse? My budget is less than 20,000 yen for two people Accommodation only.

Question

I heard that there are lodgings in Kyoto that use "machiya" houses. I would like to stay there, but it is difficult to rent an entire authentic machiya house because it is expensive.
Please let me know about a reasonably priced place to stay, even if it's "machiya-style". Please exclude hotels like guesthouses and youth hostels. My budget is less than 20,000 yen for two people with no meals. I would prefer a place near Kyoto Station, Shijo, Gion, or Kiyomizu-dera.

This inn is a historic building built in the Meiji period, and has a townhouse-style atmosphere. It is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from the subway station (Gojo), and is close to the nearest station. The rooms have a tokonoma alcove and overlook the courtyard, so you can enjoy a Japanese Ryokan (Japanese inn). Although it is an authentic Ryokan (Japanese inn), the price is reasonable, which is nice.

The inn is about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station and is right in front of Higashi Honganji Temple. The building and rooms have a calming Japanese atmosphere that is typical of Kyoto. It was well-cleaned and had a clean feeling. The staff were kind, and the people and the building were warm. You can also freely enter the grounds in the morning, so it's nice to take a walk around Higashi Honganji Temple. Local people come here to walk their dogs, so it's fun to get a feel for the local lifestyle.

Located on Gojozaka, close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you can enjoy a good old atmosphere even though it is in the city. We also recommend the delicious and affordable breakfast. The toilets and baths are shared, but there are plenty of amenities. Above all, the landlady is extremely attentive and you can easily ask her about places to see and recommended shops. This is a heartwarming inn with excellent hospitality and value for money.

If you are looking for a place with a machiya-style atmosphere but at a reasonable price, I think you should consider "Kyoto Machiya Inn Sanjojuku" as one of your options. It is not a guesthouse or youth hostel, but the price is relatively cheap, so I think it will meet your needs.

Kyoto's machiya townhouses are great. The tourist spots are attractive, but it's like getting a glimpse into everyday life and feeling like you're in a different place. I recommend "Kyoto Machiya Ryokan (Japanese inn) Toshiharu Ryokan." It's a renovated old house. Please consider it.
