‘Kiyu’ machiya house: a renovated traditional Japanese holiday house (vacation rental) with over 100 years of history is located a short distance from UNESCO World Heritage Site Nijo Castle. To get to this charming machiya house, you’ll walk through the lively Sanjo Shopping Arcade, which also has a history of over 100 years. The shopping arcade is lined with over 180 restaurants, cafes, shops, bakeries, supermarkets, and more.

Turn down a side street, away from the hustle & bustle of the shopping area to find ‘Kiyu’ machiya nestled amongst a row of traditional Japanese homes. The entrance opens up to high ceilings & natural light illuminating the space. The 1F living-dining room is a spacious area surrounded by traditional ‘yukimi shoji’ sliding doors. Just behind the sliding shoji doors is a full kitchen, washing machine, and luxurious bathroom.

On the 2F are 2 bedrooms: a western-style bedroom with 2 double-size beds, and a classic tatami room that can accommodate up to 2 guests on futon beds. The double bed can sleep up to 2 guests per bed.

A little background as to how ‘Kiyu’ earned its name: There are 2 Japanese kanji characters that make up the name ‘Kiyu’: 葵 (‘ki’ – the hollyhock flower) and 結 (‘yu’ – to tie together). The hollyhock leaf (also known as ‘aoi’) has been an important symbol of Kyoto city since the Heian Period. It was thought to ward off natural disasters & was also the family crest of the Tokugawa Clan, a powerful shogunate family that ruled Japan during the Edo Period (1603-1867). Nijo Castle was built as the Kyoto residence of the Tokugawa shōguns! With this in mind, we hope that during your stay, you’ll appreciate the “tie” to the history & culture of Kyoto city that this machiya house has.
