About

Machiya are traditional wooden townhouses that were popular with Kyoto merchants and craftspeople until just before WWII. Because Kyoto wasn’t bombed during the war, many fine machiya have survived until the present day. While some Kyotoites continue to live in machiya, many surviving machiya have been converted to restaurants, shops or vacation rentals.

The house is located within walking distance of Kiyomisu dera temple, Chishakuin temple and many other temples and shrines in Higashiyama ward. Kyoto station, restaurants, shopping streets and other facilities are never far away if you choose for this house.

Room sizes (in jou) are based on the tatami size. Tatami sizes vary a little depending the location in Japan, old or new, etc. Often 85.5 cm x 179 cm. The house was renovated in 2005.
