Om overnatningsstedet
Kyoto-tradition med moderne luksus, familievenlig i fremragende beliggenhed
Machiya Lily er en skræddersyet blanding af traditionel Kyoto-arkitektur og moderne luksus. Machiya Lily blev først åbnet midt i Meiji-perioden (1896) som en Kimono-butik. Ejendommen forblev i samme familie indtil 2013, da jeg købte den og begyndte den lange restaureringsproces. Mit mål med restaureringen var at bevare så meget af det originale håndværk som muligt og samtidig tilføje de moderne bekvemmeligheder, som en luksus ejendom kræver. Når du bor i Machiya Lily, er du bogstaveligt talt omgivet af Kyoto-historien. Hjemmet er fuldt møbleret, inklusive kabel-tv, trådløst internet, vaskemaskine og tørretumbler og alle faciliteter. Machiya Lily er perfekt beliggende for gæsten, der ønsker at bo i det historiske Kyoto, mens de nyder fred og ro. Sanjusangendo-templet, Toyokuni-helligdommen og Kyoto Nationalmuseum ligger alle inden for 8 minutters gang. Keihan-ekspress togstoppet Shichijo og Kamogawa-floden ligger begge inden for 6 minutters gang i den anden retning. Lokale busstoppesteder, butikker og caféer ligger alle inden for en fem minutters gang. Kyoto station ligger 20 minutters gang eller en kort busstur eller taxatur væk. Når du kommer ind i Machiya Lily, kommer du ind i stuen. Dette værelse blev kaldt "doma" på japansk, men er blevet omdannet til en stue med sofa, stort fladskærms-tv, slutborde og indbyggede surround sound-højttalere. Den ene væg er blevet dækket med ”urushi washi”, en speciel type håndmalet papir fremstillet i Kyoto. Denne væg er fremhævet med accentbelysning og er en af de to vigtigste funktioner i stuen. Gulvet i stuen er en stenflise, der findes i traditionelle butikshuse og giver gæsterne mulighed for at bære deres sko i stuen. To skydedøre adskiller stuen fra resten af huset, og disse døre er det andet midtpunkt i stuen. Døre og glas stammer fra 1920'erne og er et af mine yndlingsaspekter i hjemmet. Når du fjerner dine sko og træder op fra stuen ind i spisestuen kommer du ind i midten af huset. Et ovenlysvindue til venstre bringer lys ind i spisestuen, og det fuldt udstyrede køkken er til højre for dig. Køkkenskabet er skræddersyet af lokale træarbejdere fra et antikt møbel kaldet “mizuya dansu”. Bordpladen er lavet af et enkelt stykke levende kant japansk Hinoki (en type cypress) fra Arashiyama-området. Du finder ikke et køkkenskab som dette andre steder i verden. Køkkenet indeholder en Nespresso-kaffemaskine, køleskab i fuld størrelse, temperaturkontrolleret vinkab, mikrobølgeovn, komfur, brødrister, gryder, pander og opvaskemaskine til fire personer. På bagsiden af huset er det traditionelle “washitsu” eller tatami-rum. Dette værelse har udsigt over den japanske have "tsuboniwa". Haven har et japansk ahorntræ, en tempelsten i Edo-æraen og en automatisk vandfunktion, der fylder hjemmet med lyden af rindende vand tre gange hver dag. Tatami-rummet kan bruges som et soveværelse for op til to personer eller som et fantastisk sted at slappe af, se på haven og lytte til den afslappende lyd fra rindende vand efter en lang dags sightseeing. Tatami-rummet har også en traditionel "tokonoma", hvor der vises en traditionel rulle eller andet kunstværk. Kunstværket ændrer sig med årstiderne. Skabet på fjernvæggen ved siden af kunstværket er specifikt bygget, så en person kan sidde på toppen og læne sig tilbage mod væggen, mens han nyder haven eller læse en bog. Dette er ikke et traditionelt træk ved en Kyomachiya, men jeg designet den til mit eget brug, fordi jeg simpelthen synes det er mere behageligt end at sidde på tatami. Du kan se et foto af denne funktion nedenfor. Badeværelset på første sal har brusebad og badekar i fuld størrelse, som også har udsigt over haven. Badets vægge er lavet af aromatisk japansk cypress, der tilføjer et unikt touch og duft til badet. Da sko ikke bæres i huset (undtagen i stuen), er de hårde trægulve på første sal alle udstyret med gulvvarme. Ovenpå består af et soveværelse og andet toilet. Dette værelse har en ægte queensize-seng og to lænestole. Der er også et skrivebord og stol til skrivning af breve samt en anden samling bøger. Skydedøren til soveværelset ovenpå er en traditionel dør, der ikke længere er almindelig. Hvis du er fan af ældre japanske film, har du set døre som dette. Det glidende trævindue i midten af døren er et fremragende eksempel på Meiji-periode håndværk. Bambusblinden (sudare) uden for vinduerne ovenpå (såvel som i haven) blev håndlavet af Mr. og Mrs. Kubota, hvis familie har lavet persienner i Kyoto siden 1883. Machiya Lily er en unik kombination af historie og moderne luksus. Jeg har gjort alt for at bevare sjælen til denne ejendom og øret, som den blev bygget i, mens jeg gjorde det til et luksuriøst og behageligt sted at bo. Jeg håber, du vil nyde det så meget som jeg har. Hvis du har spørgsmål, så kontakt mig.

Machiya Lily is an authentic Kyo-Machiya licensed and inspected by the City of Kyoto, it meets all fire and safety regulations set forth by the City of Kyoto. It is equipped with emergency lighting, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, emergency flashlights, and a phone-line.
- Machiya Lily has been restored to maintain its historic character and to comply with the regulations governing historic buildings in Kyoto. For example, Shioji (window coverings) are made of real Washi (Japanese handmade paper). The Fusuma (sliding partitions) are all period pieces so please open and close the doors and windows carefully.
- A Kyo-Machiya is designed to breathe; this allows the Machiya to be comfortable all year round. Kyo-Machiya are made primarily of natural materials and the layout allows for air to flow from the front of the Machiya to the back. This is part of the character of Machiya Lily. If you open the windows at the front, and back of the Machiya there is a natural flow of air. This works to ventilate the Machiya, and keep it cool during the summer.
- Machiya Lily has a modern Japanese style bath with a deep bath tub, wash area with wash basin, and dressing area. Even though it is modern, the design and usage is Japanese. Please only soak in the bath tub. No soap products are to be used in the tub. The Japanese etiquette for bathing is to wash thoroughly first, and then relax in the deep bath tub. Please remember this point if you are going to visit a Sento (public bath) or an Onsen (a traditional Japanese Inn).
- All Kyo-machiyas have some Tatami flooring. Machiya Lily has traditional tatami flooring in the back room of the first floor. This flooring is made from rice straw to form the core and Igusa straw (soft rush straw) for the covering. The natural material of tatami flooring allows it to stain very easily. Do not place or leave any wet, damp, or moist items on the TATAMI, it will stain.
-
- Machiya Lily has a Tsuboniwa (small Japanese garden measuring approximately 5 square meters). The elements included are a Mizubachi (Japanese water feature) and a Japanese maple tree. Please enjoy the scenery. The water feature is on an automatic timer and will turn on three times throughoutt the day. DO NOT smoke in the garden.
- Please keep the noise to a minimum, sounds travel easily in a Machiya.
- Machiya Lily is equipped with high speed fiber-optic internet connection via Wi-Fi, and cable television.
- The toilets and air conditioners/heaters operate to latest environmental standards. Please keep the environment in mind when using these appliances.
- Many of the light fittings are original and difficult to replace. Please take care.
- No Smoking inside or outside of Machiya Lily.
- It is a Japanese custom to remove shoes before entering into a home. Machiya Lily is designed so that you can wear your shoes in the front room (living room) but should remove your shoes before stepping up into the rest of the home. Slippers are provided and you may wear these slippers throughout the home.
- No pets are allowed in Machiya Lily.

We loved our time at this property. Mark was a wonderful host and gave us a ton of helpful advice. He went over and above to help us with anything we needed before and during our trip. The property is in a fantastic location, walkable to so many of the important Kyoto sights, restaurants and shopping. We can’t say enough good things about this property and host and would definitely come back again.

Really enjoy the garden and the home’s decor. It is also located in a great part of town close to many of the sites and areas you will want to see. Also, it is located a short walk from a subway stop making it easy to hop on a train and go where you want quickly. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful home and great location
Adult family of 4 stayed comfortably in this home. The home was very clean and the hosts were very helpful. We loved the separate sleeping areas. The highlight is soaking in the extra deep tub while looking at the garden and listen to the fountain. So peaceful. There were coffee shops at each end of the street and shrines, temple and museum within 2 blocks.

Great spot!
Highly recommended! A perfect location for visiting Kyoto—lots of historical sites nearby, a three-minute walk to Kamogawa river, with Pontocho street and an entire entertainment area just on the other side of the river.
Our favorite was the Japanese-style tatami room with the view of the garden and natural water fountain. You can also view the garden from the bathtub, which is a fantastic way to start or finish the day.
Hope to stay here again in the future!

Scott,
Thanks for the review. I'm glad you had a great time at Machiya Lily. Thank you for taking the time to email me your thoughts on the restaurants I booked for you. Your comments on the lunch at Endo Tempura were particularly useful and I make sure to share them with my guests. Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay at Machiya Lily and I look forward to seeing you again.

Om værten
Vært: Mark Tracy
I'm an attorney and university professor who has lived and worked in Japan for 16 years. I've always been fascinated by traditional Japanese carpentry, Kyoto Machiya and the Japanese passion for monozukuri (making things by hand). After years of planning I finally got the chance to buy Machiya Lily and restore her. Originally, I thought it would be the perfect place to finally write the great American expat novel. Instead, I've done a lot more reading than I have writing and the books in the library reflect that fact. These days I divide my time between a house in Osaka and a cabin I'm building in the mountains of Hyogo.
Derfor valgte v ærten dette overnatningssted
I spent over 3 years looking at machiya in Kyoto. I knew the things I had to have and the things that I wanted to have. I had to have a place that was convenient for me and for guests but that was also quiet. I had to have a traditional garden and I wanted a house built in the Meiji period. Sanjusangendo is my favorite temple and I wanted someplace near there but I didn't want to deal with crowded streets. Finally, I wanted a place whose history I could document and which would allow me to preserve and highlight the Japanese joinery techniques that always fascinated me. When I finally found Machiya Lily I made an offer the same day. It looked nothing like it does today but I could tell that the joinery was still there and that she had everything I had to have and most of what I wanted. The restoration took almost two years but we managed to preserve almost all of her original joinery and to complete the rest using traditional techniques. From my own perspective, I couldn't be happier with the results or with the fantastic people I met during the process.

For me, the architectural history and joinery will always stand out. We really did focus on every detail in this restoration to preserve the history but to add in the modern comfort that we all need. The doors in the living room were a fantastic find (I don't get credit for them) and the hand painted Kyoto paper on the accent wall is a classic touch with modern influence. The kitchen cabinet is made from a mizuya and I doubt there is another like it in Japan. All of the bamboo blinds in the home are hand made by Mr. and Mrs. Kubota whose family has been making blinds in Kyoto since 1883. Visiting their shop and getting to know their family was a unique Kyoto experience. Sano san spent more time with me than I could have expected to make sure that the tsuboniwa (garden) would create the perfect space and the perfect sound. Several of my sempai contributed art pieces and books for the home and I can't walk through without thinking of each of them. Each of my friends seems to have the one thing about Lily which stands out for them but for me, she's all of a piece.
