We currently offer five different houses for your vacation rentals in Kyoto. All of them are located in the Higashiyama District.  All of these houses are perfect as a base for your visit and enjoyment of Kyoto. They are all located very near convenient bus stops for direct access to a number of tourist sites, and in some cases next to a train station.  All are in a quiet residential neighborhood where you’ll easily walk to local shops and supermarkets, or eat at local restaurants.

All these houses are designed and conceived to be “Your home away from home”. You rent the whole house, not just a room, and are free to come and go as you please. All these houses have recently been entirely renovated (or rebuilt in some cases), respecting the look and feel of the “Kyomachi”, the traditional wooden townhouses of Kyoto. But these houses have all been featured with proper insulation and a mixture of traditional and modern materials. We added floor heaters and radiators for the cold winter months, air conditioning in every room for the hot summer months.  You’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, table with chairs, seating areas, western bedrooms with comfortable beds, but also tatami mat rooms with futons, wooden bathrooms with bathtubs and/or showers, and low tables with cushions. All these houses are decorated with old and traditional items such as Samurai armor, beautiful wedding kimono, Nô mask, paintings, old folding screens, ancient calligraphy panels, traditional dolls, and much, much more, for a more refined atmosphere.

For the convenience of travelers, all the houses are equipped with All-In-One Automatic washer/dryer, unlimited high-speed internet access (optical fiber), large-screen flat HDTV with unlimited Netflix movies and series (except for Gojo Machiya), and more.
