Welcome to my page. This KIKUTSURU(菊鶴)is my private cottage in Kyoto, renovated from old traditional Kyoto Machiya (town house). I decided to register my house in Airbnb because I’m not in Kyoto most part of the year and it’s good idea to offer a place to stay for travelers while I’m absent. I like arts and antiques, some of my collections are displayed in this house. I’d be really happy if you enjoy them
