Local Information

A machiya house that has stood since the Taisho Period – this particular machiya holds a history as a former porcelain doll shop.

Renovated with plastered earthen walls and “washi” (delicately-made, thin Japanese paper), over 100 years of history radiates throughout this authentic Kyoto house.

Gojo-zaka ・Chawanzaka – both of these areas are known as the birthplace of “Kiyomizu-yaki” (pottery and porcelain that have been exquisitely designed by skilled craftsmen). You can also discover “Nishijin” silk fabrics, Kyoto “sensu” (Japanese folding fan), and Kyoto-inspired Japanese “wagashi” treats — this neighborhood is brimming with culture and history that is waiting to be explored.

Despite this machiya house being located in the center of a popular and bustling Kyoto neighborhood, “Choya Chawanzaka” will offer you a serene hideaway during your holiday in Kyoto. Push aside the first floor shoji doors (paper-sliding doors), to reveal a spacious room in which you can unwind.
