Experience at Kyo-machiya stay

Kyotoites say they love new things while living in the ancient capital. We hope you will remember and enjoy the joy of traveling by savoring the time and experiences you spend in each place more intensely and deeply.

Our Kyo-machiya, Traditional Japanese town houses "araka-tanaka" is located in one of Kyoto's most attractive tourist destinations, with convenient access to other areas of the city. In addition, we rent out our entire Kyo-machiya so you can fully enjoy the private space that only Kyoto can offer.

Enjoy local restaurants, temples, shrines, parks, and nature. Spending time from the perspective of locals rather than visitors, you will be a traveler but spending time at the same leisurely pace as the locals must be a rather luxurious way to spend your time.
