Inspired by the gentle glimmer of fireflies against a serene black night. “Sumihotaru Oboro” is an innovative take on the traditional Kyoto machiya, where the interplay between light and dark turns traditional design into a dramatic, luxurious space.
Warm natural light illuminates each room of the machiya to highlight the rich textures in the wood and stonework, creating a sophisticated ambiance. A traditional Japanese room with a gorgeous silver leaf wall, and an expansive 2nd floor bedroom with a sky-high ceilings and exposed architecture await you.
Reserve alongside Sumihotaru Honoka, a neighbouring house, to accommodate up to 10 guests.
