Jasmin Kamogawa Koya is a small private house located in a quiet residential area where Kyoto's nature and intelligence meet, a 5-minute walk from Keihan Railway's Demachiyanagi Station. It is a unique location where the Kamogawa River, the greenery of Shimokamogawa Shrine, and the atmosphere of Kyoto University's student town intersect. In the spring, you can take a walk along the Kamogawa River, where cherry blossoms bloom on both banks, or cross the stepping stones at Kamogawa Delta, which is a 5-minute walk away. In summer, you can take the Eizan train and enjoy the cool breeze on the river floor of Kibune. You can enjoy Kyoto in each of the four seasons as if you lived there. A fully renovated house that has been built for many years. Although compact, the first floor has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, and the second floor has a separate Japanese-style room and Western-style room, making it suitable for families and friends.

Private Kyoto Machiya Stay with Japanese Garden

Step away from sightseeing and ease into everyday Kyoto. Your stay begins on arrival, with a warm welcome in a historic space and local guidance over tea before heading to the house. The machiya sits in a quiet residential neighborhood, offering a private place to slow down. Soft light fills the garden, and subtle sounds create calm. Wake slowly, wander nearby streets and cafés, and spend your evening in stillness. This is not a place to do more, but to do less. That is the true luxury here.
