Private room in Shimogyo Ward
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 231 reviews

This is a guest house/Japanese-style room (tatami) for one person, a registered tangible cultural property, for those who want to spend their time quietly.

The house of Uronza was built in 1897. It is a traditional house called a Kyomachi house. It was registered as a cultural property in 2007. It is a building that was built more than 125 years ago to match the natural environment, lifestyle habits, and culture. In other words, there are many parts that do not match the modern climate, lifestyle, and way of thinking. By staying in a building that is disappearing, you can see, touch, feel, and think for yourself (including the "good" and "bad" of traditional houses). It is not suitable for those looking for comfortable, convenient, and full service. It is a guest house for those who want to spend their time quietly.
 There are many house rules, unlike regular accommodations.
We are also strict about manners. It is not suitable for those who want to spend time lively or who want to enjoy chatting. There is no air conditioning, as per the concept. Not recommended for those who are sensitive to the summer heat or winter cold. It is preferred by those who want to spend a quiet and calm time. It is run by one person, so there are daily closing hours (12 pm to 4 pm). Please agree to the facilities and house rules before booking.  Feel and think about various things in an extraordinary space.
