HIROHITO TANAKA
The incredibly beautiful Kyoto Machiya is over 100 years old. A Japanese tatami room between the shops on the first floor. Eat a meal in a room with a sunken kotatsu. A Japanese tatami room with armor in front of a dragon mural. From the Japanese tatami room enter the Kyoto Machiya garden. You can also view the garden from the round window of the Shigaraki earthenware bath. The kitchen is in the image of a traditional earthen floor kitchen and "Okudo-san" (stove), and is stylishly tiled. Adorned above the charming dresser are seven woven bags from long ago that were used for the "Okudo-san". There are two washrooms and sinks on the 1st floor. On the second floor are both a room with wooden beams you can see in the rafters, giving it a Kominka-style feel, and Japanese tatami room where kimono used in Noh theater are displayed. On the Japanese-style dresser in the second floor Kominka-style room there are Hina dolls inherited from old families on display.The Kominka-style room has two single beds. There are six futons in the Japanese tatami room. There are 4 bicycles that you can use for free. In addition to Wi-Fi in the building we have mobile Wi-Fi devices you can t
