A Charming Traditional Garden Walk around Kyoto city, and you’ll notice that traditional Japanese homes are built close together. Machiya homes stand wall to wall, with roofs sometimes even overlapping.This was why having a ‘tsuboniwa’ inner garden was essential for every machiya home, which provided natural light, and fresh breeze throughout the house.

‘Hibukuro’ Ceiling above Kitchen An open kitchen perfect for making light meals. Stop by the local shopping arcade to pick up produce and local dishes to during your stay. The high ceiling stretching up to the 2F is known as a ‘hibukuro’ (used to release smoke & heat from cooking). This renovated kitchen includes an IH stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kettle, pots/pans, cooking utensils, cutlery, and more.

Bathroom with Garden View A bright and airy, renovated bathroom. The bathroom sink showcases a ceramic sink inspired by Kyoto’s ‘kiyomizu-yaki’ ceramic traditions. From the bathtub, enjoy a view of the garden as you relax after a day of exploring the city. Rejuvenate with our custom amenities: shampoo, conditioner and body soap.

Inspired by Kyoto’s Bamboo Groves Kyoto city is dotted with many beautiful bamboo groves. While Arashiyama may be the most well-known by name, temples and shrines throughout the city also feature many lush & vibrant bamboo forests. Discover these delicate bamboo designs throughout Kohaku-an in its artwork, lighting fixtures, antique cupboards, and more.

Traditional Machiya Exterior Kohaku-an showcases all of the quintessential kyo-machiya house architectural designs. From the wooden ‘koshi’ lattice that cover the windows and doors, ‘ichimonji’ roof tiles, to the ‘inuyarai’ bamboo fence that sits in front of the house. As you step through the ‘noren’ entrance curtain, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered a world away.
