Our Story

MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN offers guests a unique opportunity to experience Japan's rich cultural heritage through our traditional machiya holiday homes. Located in Kyoto, Kanazawa, and Takayama City, each of our more than 80 private accommodations has been thoughtfully renovated to blend historical charm with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Our machiya holiday homes are exclusively reserved for one group per day, providing complete privacy. Each machiya house serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding neighborhoods and immersing yourself in local culture. We look forward to welcoming you to a memorable stay at MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN.

Our machiya are conveniently located near some of Japan’s most popular attractions. In Kyoto, you can easily explore the charming streets of Gion, as well as the impressive Kiyomizu Temple and Nijo Castle. In Kanazawa, the serene beauty of Kenrokuen Garden and the lively atmosphere of Omicho Market are just a short distance away. In Takayama, our machiya are close to Takayama Station and within easy reach of Takayama Old Town, Miyagawa Market, and more.

Inside each machiya, you'll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms provide ample room for relaxation, while fully equipped kitchens and modern appliances allow you to prepare your favorite meals. Many properties also feature laundry facilities, and some include private in-house saunas for an extra touch of comfort.

Whether you're a solo traveler seeking adventure, a couple enjoying a romantic getaway, a family looking for a home-away-from-home, or a group of friends eager to explore Japan together, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN is the perfect place to begin your journey in Japan.

Since our inception in 2010, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN has been committed to preserving the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture while providing unique cultural experiences for travelers from around the world.
