Machiya House Features

Traditional Kyo-machiya Architecture Slide open the lattice wooden doors & step into a spacious machiya house. This Japanese house showcases the traditional Kyoto-style architectural layout known as ‘unagi no nedoko’ (an eel’s sleeping place). Originally a place of residence and work for merchants and their families, machiya homes had a small frontage while their interior stretched far and back.

・Washing Machine (Dryer Function)
・Refrigerator, Kitchen Appliances, and more.

'Tsuboniwa' Garden A ‘tsuboniwa’ garden was essential for traditional machiya homes. As houses in Kyoto were built close together (often sharing a wall or even a roof), the ‘tsuboniwa’ garden played an essential role in providing a fresh breeze & natural light through the house. Lounge around on the ‘engawa’ wood deck, and admire the garden throughout the 4 seasons.

Spacious Living Room & Dining Room Now transformed into a dining room, this space was known formerly as a ‘doma’. Traditionally, the ‘doma’ was an area with earthen floors, and was used as casual space to speak with neighbors, a garage & even a kitchen. Now, you can gather around the large wooden table to reminisce about your day, enjoy a cup of tea, or enjoy a relaxing meal.
