Kyomachiya Guest House Itaya/Japanese-style Room II [1 person] Shared living room facing a 3.31 tsubo garden.

The private room in the Machiya Guest House is 8 ㎡. This guest house is a 90-year-old Kyomachi house in Nishi-Jinjo, Kyoto. We use this old house, which was once run by a silk merchant, as an accommodation facility in its original form. From the entrance to the street garden, fire bag, back garden, and tsubo garden along the way, they all function as light and wind passageways. The smell of the earth, the smell of the rain, and the smell of Nishi-Jin, pass through with the wind. Close your eyes and enjoy a relaxing time. Enjoy the simple townhouse life.
