Sakura River Inn II | apt near Gion with balcony

This apartment is a rare Japanese-style residence, ideal for two guests, located beside the Takase River. Preserving traditional elements such as tatami, it was once home to a real geisha. While major sightseeing spots are within walking distance, guests can enjoy peaceful river views from the private balcony, where ducks often visit. Staying so close to the river in central Kyoto offers a truly special and tranquil experience. In spring, cherry blossoms briefly enhance this setting.

WUZ KAMOGAWA / River View / 10 mins from Kyoto St.

With this quintessential double story historical townhouse that looks out to the Kamo River, the renovation is kept minimal in order to best preserve its authenticity, especially the courtyard where light enters. The wooden structure, partial wall, entryway, and the garden stones are some of the original elements that are conserved while the roofing tiles, wooden windows, and paper doors have since been replaced. The translucence is throughout the house we see and experience now.
