Yoshimigura
Japanese culture is one that is largely influenced by ancient and auspicious motifs that can be found in design, artwork, commodities, and more. Yoshimigura machiya house incorporates these ideas, designs, and motifs of good luck to showcase another prominent side of Japan. This is an elegant machiya house with all of the charm of a traditional Japanese house.
Images and motifs of the matsu tree, bamboo, and plum blossom can be found throughout the house — representing longevity, flexibility, and purity, respectively. From the curtains in the 2nd floor bedroom, to the intricate artwork displayed on the walls.
A small, yet intimate house is deceptively more spacious that what its exterior suggests. A perfect house for smaller groups of family, friends, and couples — this house is the ideal place to begin your exploration of the historical city of Kyoto.

A place where good fortune gathers. A traditional house steeped in history.
Yoshimigura machiya house is located near the Shijo-Omiya intersection, which is the portal for various transportation that will take you to all of the best sightseeing attractions in Kyoto.
We recommend taking advantage of the Kyoto City Subway line, Randen Streetcar line, and the Kyoto City bus to make the most of your time in Kyoto.
From the most popular sights such as Arashiyama (Bamboo Forest), to the historical streets of Gion, the location of this machiya house will grant you convenient access to a plethora of attractions. During the cherry blossom season, jump on the Randen Line and head towards Narutaki Station and view in awe what is known as the “Cherry Blossom Tunnel,” or visit the UNESCO designated rock gardens of Ryoanji Temple.
