Japanese and Western Purpose Vintage house ~ Bus, subway, JR station 2-6 min walk ~ Nijo castle next to World Heritage Nijo Castle

"Kyojuku U-house" was renovated from an old house 73 years ago.On the basis of maintaining the original building, there is both a typical Japanese Kyo-machiya design and a modern western style.It's not luxurious, but every setup is thoughtful.Rather than a homestay, it is your second home in Kyoto.The decoration style that combines the Japanese and western styles allows you to deeply experience the modern Japanese lifestyle. “U-house” was transformed from an old building 73 years ago. Although it is not luxurious ，everying is unique. I would say “U-house” is your small villa in kyoto rather than a homestay. The combination of Japanese and Western styles will give you a deeper experience of the modern Japanese lifestyle.

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
