雲町屋 小舟 KumoMachiya KOFUNE
Unmachiya Goshonamin, located south of the Imperial Palace (Kyoto Goshō), was once the residence of the imperial court's craftsmen. Situated at the intersection of Funayamachi and Uoyamachi, it is named “Funaya” (Boat House) because of this, and many of its rooms are decorated with bamboo.The most distinctive feature is the unique Japanese design style, with quiet and peaceful corridors and a fresh and elegant courtyard. Guests can enjoy the view outside the window while sipping tea in the tea room.

Reikaku Yasaka | Gion | Historical Machiya
Reikaku Yasaka was a building in ruins with the floor tilted by at least 30cm when we discovered this hidden jewel. The restoration was particularly difficult due to the state it was in but our craftsman’s determination to bring this Machiya back to its formal glory paid off for Reikaku Yasaka. The result is Japanese craftsmanship at its best and we are very proud to be able to share the result with the rest of the world. Check our other house as an alternate option @ Reikaku Kiyomizu-Gojo

Machiya Stay in Gojo, Near Gion and Kyoto Sta.
The house was an Ochaya (literally "tea house")before and we renovated it, which is an establishment where patrons are entertained by geisha.
