‘Yoinotake’ machiya house: a traditional Kyoto holiday house (vacation rental) located in the historical Higashiyama area. Just a few minutes walk from one of Kyoto’s oldest temples, Sanjusangendo Temple, and with easy access to Gion, Tofukuji Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine.

A city known for its picturesque bamboo groves, they not only play into the scenic views of many Kyoto temples and shrines, but have been the source of inspiration for many poets and artists throughout history. ‘Yoinotake’ machiya house also takes inspiration from these serene yet vibrant bamboo groves by incorporating its delicate features into its machiya design.

Step through the noren curtains and into a calming atmosphere surrounded by bamboo. As you move through the spacious dining room, you'll be greeted with a perfect view of a karesansui garden. On the first floor are 2 quintessentially Japanese-style rooms, a modern kitchen, and a luxurious bathroom complete with a ‘goemon’ cauldron-style bathtub. A western-style bedroom occupies the entire 2F, and features high ceilings, wooden beams, and relaxing sofa.

About This Machiya House

Private Machiya Holiday House A beautifully renovated two-storey Japanese townhouse located in the serene Higashiyama area. The dark wooden exterior is achieved through the traditional method of ‘yakisugi’ - where wood planks are purposely burnt or charred as a way to protect & preserve the wood from the elements.

'Karesansui' Japanese Rock Garden Find two smaller gardens near the entrance that feature bamboo, and a large ‘karesansui’ garden towards the back. Reminiscent of some of Kyoto’s most famous rock gardens, such as the gardens of the nearby Tofukuji Temple, make this your own private space of zen during your time in Kyoto.

Living Room & Dining Room Relax in a dining room accented by the warmth of bamboo light fixtures. The solid wood table is the perfect place to gather and enjoy a meal, or reminisce about your day in Kyoto. Slide open the shoji doors to reveal the adjacent Japanese room and view of the garden.
