[Kyomachiya Rental] 115-year-old Kyomachiya · Takasegawa Shichijo
Kyomachiya Rental Accommodation "Takasegawa Shichijo" is a fully renovated 115-year-old kyomachiya. The kyomachiya, which forms part of Kyoto's beautiful scenery, 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 during Kyoto's unique hot and humid summers and harsh, bitterly cold winters. From the Japanese-style room on the first floor, you can see the tsubo garden, which is designed to resemble a "roji" (※a garden that leads 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 will need to put a futon in the Japanese-style room on the first floor and use it as a bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils and tableware for simple meals.
