Upstairs, there is a kitchen / dining room with heated floors, balcony, and classic Japanese living room to truly feel at home in Kyoto. The renovation was carried out in the “Wa Modern” style (wa = Japanese) characterized by rigor and austerity as well as the use of wood and indirect lighting, both natural and artificial. You will also find some classic elements of traditional Kyoto architecture. On the facade, the roof and eaves observe the rules of alignment with the street, the vertical wood lattices (koshi) let light enter but prevent those outside from seeing in, and one of the upstairs windows evokes the “insect-cage windows” (mushiko mado) - all typical elements of the traditional machiya-style house. Nor should we forget the small Shouki statue that benevolently offers you its protection. On the inside as well, the wood beams of the framework have been restored to increase volume, small skylights reminiscent of the “windows on the sky” (tenmado) stud the dining room ceiling, and a miniature garden (tsubo niwa) composed of stones and dragon’s beard (ryu no hige) extends an invitation to tranquility. ## The neighborhood The house is located in the southern part of Gion, a district famous for its maiko and geiko. Close to the Matsubara street which leads to the wonderful Kiyomizu-dera temple, one of Kyoto's major symbols, the area has lots of great restaurants and is great for enjoying Kyoto. The Kennin-ji temple devoted to zen buddhism is not too far. Walk through it and you'll discover the magnificent and bustling Hanamikoji street. It is bordered with traditional houses, luxurious restaurants and tea houses visited by rich clients looking for some fun. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Kitchen -

Hosts were professionals - despite a few hiccups in the booking (likely my own fault) they were easy to get in touch with and happy to help me resolve the issue! Would stay here again! ##### Grace and Brodie P. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca K. 11 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property, ideally situated in Kyoto The house was lovely, it was very well appointed with 2 bedrooms. The location is perfect (near the Gion area); the house is quiet but a short walk away from bus stops as well as the Hokan-ji temple and the Ninen Zara path. ##### Rebecca K. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara L. 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very convenient, well appointed and handy to transport. We didn't visit the national park so the mandatory rating is irrelevant. Our only problem was disposing of rubbish - not everything could be sorted into the small bins available so we had no choice but to leave a large rubbish bag. We would certainly stay there again if we're back in Kyoto. ##### Barbara L. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ---
