‘Gion Shirakawa Kouki’ machiya house: a traditional holiday house (vacation rental) near the downtown Kyoto area of Sanjo and the Gion geiko-teahouse district.

Surround yourself in the beauty and refinement of traditional Japanese design. ‘Gion Shirakawa Kouki’ is inspired by one of Kyoto’s most famous landmarks: the Kamogawa River. Admire the river mural that extends towards the second floor skylight, which creates an open and calm atmosphere. From the azure washbasins, blue ‘washi’ walls in the bedroom, to the custom lighting made of materials from Kamogawa’s riverside restaurants, discover elements of the river throughout the house.

The traditional tea room, private inner garden, and more, offer you an authentic experience, while heated flooring, gorgeous bathroom and other modern comforts add a sense of luxury to your stay.
