Enjoy the luxury of space and privacy in an authentic Japanese townhouse—ideal for families and groups traveling together.
Kyoto’s machiya homes are known for their beauty, architectural features, and deep connection to history and tradition. But for modern travelers—especially families or groups—sharing a single bathroom can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve curated a selection of traditional machiya homes with two or more full baths, so you can fully unwind after a day of exploring Kyoto’s temples, hidden alleyways, and sightseeing spots.

Garaku-an | 2 Full Baths
A traditional Japanese house located one stop from Kyoto Station and along the Takasegawa River, Garaku-an is a private retreat featuring two full baths, each with elegant, modern fixtures and a deep hinoki wood soaking tub. With a layout that blends tatami rooms, a spacious kitchen, and an impressive view of both the tsuboniwa (inner garden) and Takasegawa River, Garaku-an offers a relaxing and refined stay for up to 8 guests.
