Situated on a quiet lane alongside the Takasegawa canal, this spacious machiya will introduce you to the hidden gems of Kyoto.

Garaku-an is found in an ideal location – looking out towards the Takasegawa River -- a calm and serene view.

Cherry blossoms in the spring, bright greenery in the summer, vibrant maple leaves in the autumn, and the crisp air of the winter. From the tsuboniwa garden, you will also be able to enjoy a private atmosphere of the changing Kyoto seasons. Take an early morning stroll up Kiyomizu Temple to avoid the crowds and bask in the quite atmosphere of a temple that has more that 1200 years of history.
