AC (with Heater)Immerse yourself in the tradition and beauty of an authentic machiya of Kyoto. This 120 year-old Kyoto machiya is located on a quiet stone-paved street, just 520 meters from World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle.
World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle, once served as the residence of the Tokugawa shoguns in Kyoto, who ruled over Japan for more than 260 years. It now houses over 1,000 important cultural treasures that are a testament to the prosperity and power of the Tokugawa shogun era. "Akane-an" lies just below the south east side of this historic castle. Amidst the concrete buildings, which show the changes that have taken place over time, this kyo-machiya continues to convey a sense of history.
Reserve alongside Nijo Sumire-an, a neighbouring house, to accommodate up to 10 guests.

Grand machiya
Enter this machiya and be greeted by a spacious front room with ‘koshi’ lattice windows. The counter with a sunken floor is the ideal place to have a cup of tea while planning the day ahead.
Inspired by ‘akane’ red
Gaze out onto the Japanese garden and the ‘ajiro-tenjo’ ceiling, a hand-woven wickerwork pattern from the low table, a traditional feature of Japanese homes.
Sky-high ceiling
A space that once ventilated the kitchen below now fills the machiya with sunlight. Enjoy this openness as you prepare a light meal using the furnished kitchen.
‘Tsuboniwa’ garden
Japanese plum, cedar trees and a ‘tsukubai’ stone basin complete the design of this traditional garden. It is your quiet and peaceful oasis during your stay at "Akane-an".
Western-style bedroom
Exposed ceilings and wooden beams reveal the architecture of this machiya house. Sliding ‘shoji’ paper windows allow natural light to fill the room and illuminate the textures of the woodwork.
Bathroom
The bathtub is made of the finest Japanese ‘hinoki’ cypress, a lemon-scent wood. Take in the view of the garden while soaking in a relaxing bath or refreshing under the shower.
