Ruikou Machiya House

Kyoto Prefecture／Kyoto City
Vacation rental
¥94,050～
No meals ; 2 peopleTax included¥92,170〜
(USD 582.42)

Direct train access to “Kyoto Station” and “Arashiyama,” and within walking distance of the UNESCO World Heritage site “Nishi Hongan-ji Temple.”

A private, whole-townhouse rental machiya featuring both a main house and an annex, embodying the dignified character of traditional ochaya architecture. Located in the Shimabara area—once a flourishing, shogunate-licensed hanamachi—this one-group-per-day Accommodation, “Machiya Residence Inn Kyoto Shimabara Ruikou,” offers complete privacy in a two-building layout. While preserving the refined atmosphere of traditional ochaya design, it also conveys a progressive spirit. On the 1st floor of the street-facing “main house,” the living-dining area and kitchen form one continuous space with a modern feel. The 2nd floor features classic machiya-style Japanese rooms and is equipped with bedrooms and bathrooms. In the “annex” beyond the courtyard, you will find a living-dining area, kitchen, two double beds, and a bathroom overlooking an intimate tsuboniwa garden—all within one machiya space. The main house accommodates up to 5 guests and the annex up to 4 guests, for a total of up to 9 guests. Enjoy an elevated stay at “Shimabara Ruikou,” where Kyoto’s history and culture meet new discoveries with every era.
