Named after the color of the Japanese iris, a deep violet-hued flower, your stay at “Shobu-an” will without a doubt become a highlight of your visit to Kyoto. Located slightly South of the main city center, this machiya house is ideal for families and larger groups of friends and family.
Whilst maintaining the traditional appearance of a Kyo-Machiya, with its paper lanterns, earthen floors, and open-timbered ceiling, this accommodation facility has been converted into a comfortable area decorated with modern Japanese “Wa"-style design. Kyoto machiya illustrate the architectural design of old-fashioned Japanese residences -- which appear small from the outside but extend further back.
Reserve alongside Suo-an, a neighbouring house, to accommodate up to 14 guests.
