Kyo Machiya Guest House Makuya

In the area called Nishijin which has the original and nostalgic scenery of Kyoto, there used to concentrate many wevers and lumber dealers on Senbon street and prosper a long time ago. Less and less do we hear the sound of rhythmic weaving machines, it is the area where an old Kyoto street is well retained. We renovated the house of our grandfather who worked at a lumbermill, as it was back those days. It is not elegant as Gion, but we hope to suggest the style of Kyoto where you experience and get in touch with the profound roots of Kyoto culture such as wit regarding to houses fostered in daily living over the ages, frugal life style and time flow in a gentle pace. Please indulge yourself deeply in right in the middle of the tradition and culture and let Kyoto soak into you slowly and thoroughly.
