A grand, spacious traditional machiya with a spectacular inner garden. Along the Takasegawa River & walking distance to Gion & downtown Shijo.

‘Garaku-an’ machiya house: a traditional holiday house (vacation rental) ideally located just 1 subway station from the main Kyoto Station.

Walk along the quaint Takasegawa River lined with cherry blossom trees to find ‘Garaku-an’. With a traditional ‘koshi’ latticework exterior, this house is reminiscent of Kyoto’s quintessential Gion ‘ochaya’. ‘Ochaya’ are beautiful wooden teahouses where geiko and maiko (artists trained traditional song, dance and games) entertained guests. Imagine yourself a part of this rich culture & history at 'Garaku-an'.

Make memories to last a lifetime in this spacious machiya. From the Japanese living room and kitchen space, look out onto the majestic, large inner garden - a special feature of this house.

Relax in the fragrant ‘hinoki’ wooden bathtubs, rest in comfortable futon bedding and enjoy a traditional Japanese experience at ‘Garaku-an’.
