Immerse yourself in the tradition and beauty of this 120 year-old machiya holiday house.
Just 5 minutes from the UNESCO world heritage Nijo Castle, located on a quaint stone-paved street, "Akane-an" house offers you a local, authentic Kyoto experience.
As you walk through the front door, marvel at the sky-high ceiling and exposed wooden architecture ahead. A classic feature of machiya houses, this open space leads you into the Japanese living room adorned in calming 'akane' red. As you relax with your guests in the living room, admire the hand-woven 'ajiro-tenjo' wicker ceiling and look out onto your very own private 'tsuboniwa' garden.
Enjoy a relaxing, one-of-kind stay at "Akane-an".
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.
