What a 100 Year Old Machiya Hotel stay in Kyoto is like

Get my Paolo fromTOKYO Premium Kaminari Hot Sauce
- paolofromtokyohotsauce.com
We're staying at a traditional style Kyoto townhouse called a Machiya converted into a hotel. So if you're looking for a place to stay with your family in Kyoto, this may be a good option if it meets your criteria. As mentioned in the video, Rinn, invited us to stay at their Machiya, a traditional Kyoto wooden townhouse. Kyoto’s Machiyas are natural wooden townhouses, first built when Kyoto was still the capital of Japan between 1000’s and the 1200’s, and are known for their unique elongated design and narrow entrance, called unagi no nedoko, a place where eels sleep, which was direct a result of laws that taxed property owners based on the width of their entrance. So you'll find that many traditional style machiya homes to be narrow and long. This is our Machiya stay experience and our travels around the Kyoto area.

Damn, Wolfy is legit bilingual now. 🧑‍🎓

[@danielhenry177]

Dude, love the wholesome vibe! Love the sauce as well 🤙

[@thecarlob_007]

Hey Paolo, can you do an episode on this really underrated and super-cool chef of the restaurant called Kaneya Shokudo? I think he is one of Japan's best kept secrets.

[@JaimeToons]

I wanna know that what’s behind the counter Zauo of Fishing restaurant and how did they get more live seafood !? Pretty please

[@MisterLemon2]

I have to say Wolfy stole the show this time. He’s so fun to watch and might take over the family business soon 😊

[@rusenakman]

I just gonna write the same thing. Completely agree

[@Jhud69]

His personality is contagious! So well behaved while still being a rambucious kid :)

[@VGProtagonist]

Seeing Paolo and the family is always a good time. Unironically, I've been watching for awhile, and I wouldn't be against seeing some more videos just featuring the family going out and about, doing things they have done before- but just showing off their world a bit more casually, while still in an informative light- I think it'd be a smash hit!

[@ErwinFX]

Time to change the channel to Wolfy from TOKYO heh

[@Ch0rr1s]

I think it's especially heartwarming to see how strong Paolos genes are coming through and how his character resonates the vibe of his parents. 😊

[@corruptsuu]

Wolfie talking and beginning to be his own person is absolutely insane! Thank you for sharing these moments with us~

[@Daniel-uj1nu]

Wolfie was amazing! 💯

[@DonKey496]

It's crazy how quickly they grow! I remember watching Paolo introducing his baby. It feels like yesterday lol.

[@han984]

I love seeing Wolfy's bilingualism! It's always fun to watch children being so effortless with languages

[@monserratsanchez916]

his child is literally a tiny paolo sooooo cute

[@BlueMolly2024]

OMG, Wolfie is following in your footsteps, Paolo. So sweet.

[@LokendraSharma1986]

Hello.

[@musicsureroxursox]

The fact I was actually interested in the products your wife was using HAHA It would be nice to see trending Japanese skincare/makeup or even visit a factory!

[@onlineempire4204]

How many Japanese converted to Islam after WW2

[@ehlersdanlosandi]

I agree! I'd love to see a video like that on this channel!

[@CapnxJakE]

Just gotta comment on the hot sauce, Paolo isn’t just talking. It’s probably the most unique hot sauce flavor I’ve had with good heat. It’s become my all time favorite hot sauce. Definitely try a bottle, you won’t be disappointed!

[@Kimse05]

I can 100% sign on that comment. The Taste is something I've never had before, and man does that sauce have a kick. I love it and can only recommend to buy it.

[@musadasgn]

Don't made a comment below your own video damn it

[@DamplyDoo]

I just gotta say. His hot sauce is good, there's a unique taste. BUT it is too hot. The Japanese people who made it said the same thing, they were low key throwing shade at him by saying how hot it was (they didn't make it an insult to save face) The level of heat is borderline unenjoyable

[@epiclexi1234]

@@DamplyDoo depends on your tastes! I eat hot sauces with Carolina reaper and ghost peppers all the time! I have some in my fridge!

[@onlineempire4204]

How many Japanese converted to Islam after WW2

[@godnessy]

Wolfie is so cute, this age when they start talking and they just spout off whatever comes to their mind is so funny, miss that a lot with mine. Enjoy it!

[@quietusplus1221]

This creator is amazing, improving each video. Also, Paolo did great as a guest!

[@linb4985]

Wolfy is turning into such a good little tour guide!

[@meripederson8379]

I can't believe how big Wolfie has gotten! The baby is gone! The little fast growing boy has arrived. He's so articulate!

[@sloppymommy4796]

I like how Wolify Is showing us around! He's adorable and so fun to watch!

[@lobstershrimp]

Wow, Wolfy is just tooooo cute! Kawaiii!!! Instantly taking over for dad 😂 Imagine Paolo can already take the week off and let Wolfy run the family business 😊

[@deucemcallister13]

Dude, you have such a lovely family. Thanks for letting us peek in of your adventures.

[@brooksygyrl6728]

Wolfy broke the cuteness scale! Great video Paolo and Maiko🌻🌻🌻

[@patriciad.7309]

Paolo and Maiko - Wolfie is such a great kid! I'm sure he has his moments - and that's completely normal! - but it's so nice to watch him grow, speak more English, etc. Well done guys! And great video!

[@user-vc9hv3ss3r]

I remember you all being so nervous to give Wolfy his first bath, now he is talking so much and is growing into a little kid!! So cute and love your videos!

[@brianflynn5355]

They're called cut-outs. Wolfie's command of both English & Japanese language is impressive. That's how I learned how to speak & read English & Japanese, so you & your wife are doing a great job of parenting ❤

[@skinnybuddha8988]

I love your videos so much. They remind me of old shows for kids and families that aired in the 90s. It's just comfortable, informative, and shows everything id really ask. PBS should be sponsoring you for sure. I'll continue watching and liking from Sacramento, would love to visit one dau

[@saulm4433]

Your going to have some competition in a couple of years.

[@bitsandpiecesworld]

Your son's so adorable, he's full of energy and I like how Wolfie explain things now.

[@ryuki6465]

ストリートファイターの動画でPaoloさん夫婦のことを知りました！ 僕は日本人ですが、字幕をオンにしていつも楽しませていただいています♪ これからも動画を楽しみにしております！

[@crazymatsuki]

I wouldn't be surprised if Paolo will have an episode where Wolfie will be mostly the one doing Paolo's part. Including the hot sauce part. He has the potential tbh.😂

[@raquelhoffmann4]

I'm so happy to see Wolfie discovering the world with you, doing the things you do, running, playing, being a kid and such a smart one, such a kind one. ❤❤❤❤ Congrats, Paolo and Maiko, your baby is amazing!

[@jgigna]

Wolfys coming after your job Paolo! Damn he’s picking it up fast too lol

[@sherimoralesrowe5078]

OMG! I love Wolfie. He talks so well. You guys are doing such a great job with him by the way excellent video.

[@papaown]

It's so funny, with Paolo, Wolfy tends to start in English and with Maiko if she starts in Japanese he'll continue or if she starts in English he'll continue in English. His language skills are getting so good!

[@fakavai]

Good on Wolfie being bilingual like his parents Maika & Paolo. 👍😁😷☺💘

[@dzucur]

Wolfy, already showing great potential of a successful content creator and a vlogger. Great job Paolo and Maiko.

[@nerd26373]

That Machiya Hotel looks stunning. Its design truly is sophisticated.

[@LogicalVelocity]

Wolfie is getting so grown up! Seems like just yesterday you guys were welcoming him into the world. His English is very good! You better be careful, he's going to be taking your job soon. Too cute!

[@cayleenasworldi3647]

Please don’t ever stop making your videos. They are amazing and always relax me

[@charlesm.1638]

Wolfie is adorable introducing parts of the room.

[@Jordan-inJapan]

These old places are so cool…probably not so practical to live in, but highly recommended for a stay…or a drink! For example…Spring Valley Brewing set up in a gorgeous old machiya right in central Kyoto (near the Nishiki market). An excellent place for a beer, burger or chocolate cake! 🍻

[@DoctorEbot]

The brewery sounds cool! Is that one of the places you’ve video-blogged?

[@Jordan-inJapan]

@@DoctorEbot Yeah, it’s a cool place. But you might want to make a reservation if you’re planning on going during peak hours. And I did vblog that one…but it’s an older video and not my best work. 😆

[@samurai_8917]

Wolfies inner vlogger comes out when the camera comes out, must be genetic!!

[@lavernejones4471]

I really enjoyed this. Such a beautiful place! Wolfy has so much personality! I can’t believe he’s grown up so fast! He’s too adorable!🥰 Thanks for sharing. Love from Tennessee!😊

[@nisha8500]

Wolfie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cute and intelligent boy.. I must say you both are teaching him very well, raising him well

[@taniaho]

I love that when I first watched your video was when you stayed at a machiya with Maiko years ago and now you two are there again with Wolfy how amazing

[@davidfannin1529]

PaoIo family time is always a great video! We need a video with all the dishes you can put the hot sauce on. Those handy maps you draw of the area are super helpful too. So good to hear Maiko share her side of the hotel experience. We know Wolfie enjoyed himself!

[@sistersistera]

Wolfing is great at explaining everything. He speaks so well. Thanks for another great and educational video. ❤

[@mdogie]

I've been watching your videos for a really long time now, this has got to be one of my favorite ones. Seeing you and your family explore this stuff together is so wholesome. Keep up the fantastic work Paolo!

[@Marsofearthh]

Whats amazing to me is you show people at their place of business, and always a little anecdote of how their son/daughter helps, or how the person youre showing took the business on from their father... and now your son is helping you with your business :P Great job little guy! Thank you for showing us the washing machine and coffee machine (: .

[@lucyandbutch1769]

Lovely place, Wolfy is adorable and looked like he had so much fun. Love your videos

[@melissamaemedina]

Just came back from a trip to Japan, including Kyoto where we stayed at a Ryokan :) Your videos are helping me beat the post vacation blues! Already making a list from your recommendations for next time! And your son is the most adorable!!

[@rDomii]

Little son gonna take over your channel😂! Edit : also love seeing wolvi speak english and japanese !^^

[@Eddie859]

Oh my god. The bathroom that flow seamlessly into the outside. And the food delivered into your home. I'm jealous

[@sukanya3231]

I love how Wolfie is such a little Paolo in the making 😊

[@Marneus28]

The first part of the video was very nostalgic to me as you were heading around places that I have actually visited as well during one of my trips to Japan. Always a joy to see Kyoto. Both of those traditional meals looked really yummy and that strawberry matcha bar was crazy looking. Another great video Paolo. 😁👍

[@santheburmese]

Woooooow. Little boy got excellent speech and language skills. Grown too fast !!!

[@jeannebisson6076]

Thank you to you and your family for sharing your experiences here! 😊 ❤

[@mbuyahannah7498]

So adorable ❤❤❤❤Wolfy needs his own channel with his mom

[@seaneduardodiaz9894]

wow its just simply amazing to see wolfy grow and hearing his speech developing so well!

[@mudpill7509]

100 years old? Nice to see new businesses popping up around Japan

[@arielathome320]

I’ve watched you for years, but Wolfy did the absolute best job for this video! I love seeing your family dynamic ❤

[@i.h.978]

I really can't believe how time passed by. Wolfy is so big now and has developed so much. I remember when you guys told the family was growing and nowadays our baby boy will turn three months soon so your experiences are even more relatable! Love this channel so much

[@Socrates21stCentury]

Wow ... thank you for taking us along !!!

[@bluessoul1286]

I really love your videos Paolo. They make me feel calm. Kind of therapeutic.

[@alexhaederer9986]

love how Wolfey is mimicing what he sees you do. It's adorable!

[@sirskidney7998]

Hi Paolo and Maiko, what an amazing and interesting stay in Kyoto. Just loved the history of the building you stayed in and the food looked awesome and so beautifully presented! OMG Wolfie is growing up so fast. Maiko, you don't need to worry about makeup, you're stunning already! Thanks for a great video.

[@mrslyncx]

More Maiko skincare and makeup routine please! I was interested I'd love to hear more from her!

[@kuromaru5344]

It's gonna be so sweet if Wolfie and Paolo do videos together

[@sunkitzzed]

Wolfy is such a big boy now. I literally watched him grow up in your videos :D thank you for sharing such private wonderful moments with us.

This is even more entertaining because of Wolfy. I can't believe he's this smart and talkative already. Time flies so fast.
