A 100-year-old, three-bedroom Japanese machiya house built in the classic 'unagi no nedoko' style, steps from UNESCO World Heritage Site Nijo Castle.
'Yumeha' machiya house: a traditional Japanese holiday home (vacation rental) built during the Taisho Period with over 100 years of history. This machiya house is located just steps from Nijō Castle and Shinsen-en, a historic garden once enjoyed by the imperial court.
Built in the classic unagi no nedoko style, meaning “eel’s bed,” this 3-bedroom machiya extends deep into the property with a long, elongated layout that is characteristic of traditional townhouses in Kyoto. This architectural form allows light and air to flow naturally through the home while preserving a sense of privacy.
Original wooden beams stretch across the ceiling, connecting you to over a century of history. The living-dining room offers views of a Japanese garden, where you can admire the tsuboniwa greenery and traditional kakejiku scroll art. The spacious kitchen comes fully equipped for your stay, while the bathroom features a soaking tub with views of the garden and a waterfall shower head.
Upstairs, you'll find a classic tatami room perfect for unwinding in traditional Japanese style. Yumeha offers 3 bedrooms to comfortably accommodate your group: one with a double bed, one with two single beds, and a tatami room with futon bedding. For added convenience, the house includes floor heating, a washer-dryer, and bidets on both floors.
A little background on how ‘Yumeha‘ earned its name: Just steps from the machiya lies Shinsen-en, a Japanese garden originally created for the imperial court. Within its expansive grounds, emperors and nobles once enjoyed boat rides, evening gatherings, and seasonal celebrations. Shinsen-en is also known as the birthplace of hanami cherry blossom viewing! The name “Yumeha” combines “yume” from yumemigusa, a poetic name for cherry blossoms, with “ha” from hana (flower). We chose this name hoping Yumeha becomes a place where time flows as peacefully as it once did in those imperial gardens.
