[Kyomachiya Rental] 115-year-old Kyomachiya · Takasegawa Shichijo

Kyomachiya Private Rental "Takasegawa Shichijo" is an accommodation facility that has been fully renovated from a 115-year-old kyomachiya. The kyomachiya, which forms the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, has been redesigned as a building with high airtightness and thermal insulation performance, while retaining the original structure, so that you can enjoy a comfortable stay during Kyoto's unique hot and humid summers and harshly cold winters. From the Japanese-style room on the first floor, you can see the tsubo garden, which is designed to resemble a "roji" (*the garden that leads to the tea room). There is also a sofa in the hallway where you can relax and enjoy the view of the tsubo garden. In the evening, you can spend a relaxing time watching the illuminated tsubo garden. There are two bedrooms on the second floor: a Japanese-style room with two single beds and a Western-style room with two single beds. If there are 5 or more guests, we will set up a futon in the Japanese-style room on the ground floor for you to use as a bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils and tableware so you can prepare simple meals.

逢譚-atan-

五条高瀬川のほとりにひっそりと佇む、一棟貸し宿「逢譚-atan-」 杉や土、和紙といった自然素材が静かに呼吸するこの空間は、京都の街に溶け込みながらも、時間の流れが緩やかに感じられます。 浴室の窓越しには小さな坪庭。 季節のうつろいを映すその景色に、湯につかりながら身をゆだねるだけで、心がほどけていきます。 余白と静けさ、そしてほんの少しの贅沢。 旅先で予定を詰め込むよりも、何もしない時間を味わいたい方にこそ、訪れていただきたい場所です。 朝は障子越しのやわらかな光に目を覚まし、夜は庭に落ちる影を眺めながら、静かに一日を終える。 ここでの時間は、目に映るものだけでなく、空気の温度や足裏の感触、音の静けさまでも記憶に残ります。 誰かと語らうのもいいし、一人でゆっくりと過ごすのもいい。 この宿は、日常から少しだけ距離を置き、自分の輪郭を確かめるような場所であってほしいと願っています。 「逢譚」という名前には、 まだ出会ったことのない風景や空気、人や言葉、そして物語に出会えるような宿でありたいという想いを込めました。 あなたが過ごすこの空間にも、きっと小さな物語が生まれるはずです。

Reikaku Yasaka | Gion | Historical Machiya

Reikaku Yasaka was a building in ruins with the floor tilted by at least 30cm when we discovered this hidden jewel. The restoration was particularly difficult due to the state it was in but our craftsman’s determination to bring this Machiya back to its formal glory paid off for Reikaku Yasaka. The result is Japanese craftsmanship at its best and we are very proud to be able to share the result with the rest of the world. Check our other house as an alternate option @ Reikaku Kiyomizu-Gojo
