COVID-19 Action Plan & Commitment to your Safety

‘Suo-an’ machiya house: a traditional holiday house (vacation rental) located just a short walk from downtown Shijo-Karasuma area, and Nishiki Market, Kyoto's traditional food market.

Inspired by the era of new hope, Japan's 'Romantic Taisho Era’ (1912~1926). It was a time when Japan began to be exposed to the West, ushering a shift in design that balanced traditional Japanese style and vibrant Western culture. This machiya house is the perfect balance of traditional Japanese style and vibrant Western culture, with its dark wooden accents and crimson red walls. Slide open the front door to reveal a spacious Japanese-style room, Japanese garden, kitchen, and luxurious bathroom. Partition the Japanese room with the fusuma sliding doors to create a separate bedroom.

Upstairs, you'll find a second Japanese-room in addition to a Western-style bedroom. The Japanese room showcases koshi lattice windows running along one side of the room, while the Western-style bedroom features a vibrant washi light fixture. This renovated Kyoto machiya house also includes modern facilities such as WiFi, IH stovetop, washing machine, and more.

Machiya House Features

Wooden Lattice While passerbys cannot look in, lattice allows those inside to enjoy the outside view. It also allows sunlight to pour into the house, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Red Colour This deep colour is found in many elements throughout "Suo-an". Notice how the crimson of the walls, lanterns and noren curtains change along with the natural light.
・TV

Soft illumination Warm lighting plays up the deep red and sleek black create a luxurious ambiance in this Japanese room. Bask in the natural light filtering through the lattice windows.
・Up to 2 x Japanese futon bedding

Western-style Bedroom Traditional wooden beams along the bedroom’s high ceilings create an open space. The red light fixture above the bed showcases a modern take on the traditional Japanese paper lantern.
・2 x Twin beds

Bathroom Relax in serenity in this bathroom lined with lemon-scented cypress wood, a granite-tiled bathtub and a garden view. Custom-created bath amenities will leave you refreshed and ready for the day.
