In the past, A day in khaki was a small spicy workshop, nestled in a traditional wooden machiya house, various past crafts, contributing to the fine culture in Kyoto, experiencing a way of life in Kyoto, replacing the tourist style of walking to see flowers, quick browsing, using your own way to see Kyoto worth finding a lifestyle. Through the form of a townhouse, you can truly understand the local habits. Previously, the machiya was a family unit, with the first floor as a common living space and the second floor as a bedroom.In this traditional space, you can see the cohesion in the Japanese family, showing the core of "family zombie". Unlike formal hotels, A day in khaki adopts a bag building approach to convey the entire space comfortably to guests.With the decrease of the machiya, such spaces are gradually replaced with different ways, and through the transformation of concepts and indoor spaces, when experiencing the machiya culture, enjoy the space aesthetics brought by fire bags, tsubo gardens, corridors, etc., more comfortably.

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
