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

The private rental accommodation "Takasegawa Shichijo" is a fully renovated 115-year-old traditional Kyoto townhouse. The traditional Kyoto townhouse, which forms part of the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, has been redesigned as a building with high airtightness and thermal insulation, while retaining its original structure, so that you can enjoy a comfortable stay even in the humid and hot summers and harshly cold winters that are unique to Kyoto. From the Japanese-style room on the first floor, you can see the tsubo garden, which is designed to resemble a "roji" (*a garden leading to a 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 ask that you use the Japanese-style room on the first floor as a bedroom by laying out futons, though this may be a bit inconvenient. The kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils and tableware for simple cooking.

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。

Machiya Stay in Gojo, Near Gion and Kyoto Sta.

The house was an Ochaya (literally "tea house")before and we renovated it, which is an establishment where patrons are entertained by geisha. We kept the original structure and make it much more modern and comfortable. The river in front of the house is the must-see in Kyoto changing from cherry bloom to maples. The best location near Gojo bridge and Kiyomizuーgojo sta. can make it very convenient to all the famous spots.
