Tawara-an is an Accommodation renovated from a traditional Kyoto townhouse built in 1897.

The concept of this Kyoto machiya Accommodation is “a place to stay as if you live in Kyoto.” Enjoy Kyoto’s unique atmosphere to the fullest while staying here like a local.

An Accommodation where you can stay like a local in Kyoto

Located in the “Goshominami” area, which flourished as the heart of Heian-kyo (ancient Kyoto). Known as one of Kyoto’s finest residential neighborhoods, Goshominami offers a calm streetscape and a refined way of life. Kyoto Imperial Palace, the Kamo River, Shijo-Karasuma, and Shijo-Kawaramachi—some of Kyoto’s most iconic destinations—are all within walking distance. This property is a carefully renovated Kyoto machiya townhouse built in 1897, consisting of two Rooms: the East Wing and the West Wing. A small inner garden (tsuboniwa) lies between them, offering the tranquility unique to a machiya and a soothing view.

Courtyard garden

A spacious tsuboniwa courtyard landscaped with Kyoto mountain trees

The West Wing’s courtyard garden reuses roof tiles and stones to evoke the scenery of Kyoto. It features trees and shrubs found in Kyoto’s mountains—such as Japanese maple, camellia, Japanese andromeda, shashanbo blueberry, and soyo-go—allowing you to enjoy its changing beauty through the seasons.
