‘Yotsuki’ machiya house: a renovated traditional holiday house (vacation rental) located in downtown Kyoto. This charming vacation rental is conveniently located near Omiya Station, giving you direct access to the historical Gion neighborhood, lush bamboo forests of Arashiyama, and an easy walk to Nijo Castle.

The exterior of this machiya house features earthen walls and a decorative circular window known 'shitaji mado.' This circular design is not only a motif that is reminiscent of the moon, but in Japanese culture is closely associated with positive concepts such as "en" (縁, connection) and "wa" (和, harmony).

Step inside to discover modern design with traditional Japanese elements. You'll find 'Gotenjo' ceiling patterns similar to those at Nijo Castle, bamboo woodwork, and original artwork featuring traditional karakami techniques. On the 1F, a shoji sliding door offers privacy and leads to a cozy sleeping alcove with a queen-size bed. Upstairs, large windows brighten the staircase that leads to the master bathroom and Japanese tatami room. The Japanese-style tatami room can serve as a relaxing space or an additional bedroom, accommodating up to 3 guests on futon bedding.

A little background on how ‘Yotsuki’ earned its name: A combination of “four seasons” (yotsu) and “moon” (tsuki), reflecting the beauty of Kyoto’s seasons illuminated by moonlight. The name ‘Yotsuki’ also invites guests to experience Japan’s elegant changing seasons and appreciate nature’s beauty. It embodies the Japanese concept of “tokiyo-jisetsu,” highlighting life’s constant changes and emphasizing the transient yet cyclical nature of time in Japanese aesthetics.
