Shofu-an (means Pine Breeze) is one unit of Kyo Machiya Miyabi in Kiyomizu area, a big Kyoto traditional house, and was designed and renowed Kyoto based architect Geoffrey P. Moussas. Shofu-an is being meticulously preserved with the traditional techniques that have been handed down for centuries. While sticking to tradition is important for the architect, updating the facilities, such as modern bath-shower room, high-tech toilet, kitchen, heating floor, are just as important to meet the present day needs of our guests.

A magical Kyoto experience

Absolutely stunning and gracious hosts. Everything was beautifully prepared and expertly explained. We absolutely loved our stay and experience — and not only that — the location was pretty much as good as it gets, walking distance from Gion and Kiyomizu. Thanks so much guys! xo

Good location

Great location and nice host. The house is very comfortable during winter with the floor heating. The only issue is about sound proofing - the two bedrooms upstairs basically have minimum sound proofing so not great if someone in the family snores. This is kind of expected for a traditional house though.

Great place in great location

Everything was as advertised and the property management team was great. They helped with activity suggestions and were prompt with check-in. Overall, the place fit our family of 5 comfortable and provided the local experience we were hoping for. The location was great for visiting certain temples and getting meals. I would stay again.

Great location in Higashiyama

This is one of 3 units in a traditional Japanese tea house (machiya). We stayed at another unit 4 years ago and chose to return to a slightly bigger unit. This unit has good amenities such as washer/dryer, full bathroom with ofuro bathtub, and kitchen with Nespresso machine. Only thing to note is that this tea house has single-pane windows and little insulation... took a little while to warm up. Location is super convenient as we could walk to all top attractions in Higashiyama, Gion and even the shopping area. We had a short but good stay this time!

Fantastic experience of living in a traditional Kyoto house (but with heating!)

We loved it. We've been to Kyoto many, many times, but never stayed in a house before. It was fascinating to see how the house was intertwined with its neighbors. The location is perfect - walking distance from Kiyomizu-dera and Gion, and a short bus ride from central Kyoto. The house itself was in perfect condition, everything worked perfectly (especially the heating, thank goodness - it was cold outside).

Perfect in every way!

A friend and I stayed here for four nights while traveling around Japan. Communication before we arrived was timely and excellent, and Jackie was extremely helpful and nice when we checked in. She made sure we understood everything we needed to know about the property, the area, and things we might want to do and see. The location was very convenient for lots of restaurants, sights, transportation, and shopping. We loved the quirky layout of the property and the traditional touches like sliding doors and tatami floors in some rooms. The kitchen is small but suitable for everything we needed, and there's a grocery store nearby (less than 10-minute walk). Despite very cold outdoor temperatures (we were there in February), we were always toasty warm at the home between the great heaters and heated floors. We greatly appreciated that they provided everything we needed to do laundry and took advantage of it to do a load. The shower and bath were absolutely divine. We were able to arrange luggage delivery from our ryokan in Tokyo as long as we scheduled it to arrive when we were present at the property in Kyoto. When we were done with our stay in Kyoto, we were able to send out luggage on to Hiroshima while we visited Koyosan for two nights. There is a luggage drop off place less than a 5-minute walk from the property (Gion Shijo station, Global Yamamoto). Overall, everything was prefect and we were delighted with our stay. I would definitely recommend it to others, and I would be happy to stay there again. Arigatou gozaimasu!!!!

The apartment is in a fabulous part of Kyoto. Great restaurants, shops & shrines are close by.

The apartment was very historical but with all modern amenities. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were answered right away. The location is the best. We could walk to so many great restaurants and shops, yet where the apartment is located is a quiet residential street.

No living area to hang out

Great location, easy check in and check out, mistly clean, really AUTHENTIC old Japanese traditional house. Nice size bedrooms, sufficient bathroom and shower facilities. The only problem for us was a complete absence of a living space to hang out in at night. There is a very small tatami area in between the kitchen table and the staircase to the bedrooms which is in front of the very small TV, but the area is too small to gather in. Additionally , it would be nice to have some other than just Japanese channels on TV. My husband was concerned with fire safety as we could see wiring near the ceiling. As expected there is practically no sound insulation so be prepared to hear everything that is going on outside and next door . A strange smell in the small area in between the front door and the door to the house where you take your shoes off. Walls and chairs in the kitchen need some freshening up as they appear somewhat worn, stained and scratched. We tried the authentic experience, but I don't think it was for us, unfortunately, which is not to say that it won't be a good fit for you.

Quick cozy visit to Kyoto

Shofu-an provided a perfect launching point for our very brief visit to Kyoto. Our group of 3 adults and 2 children fit perfectly in the Shofu-an. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival and enjoyed the experience of sleeping in a real Japanese home complete with tatami mats, heated floors and futon bedding. The location is perfect for launching out for sight seeing during the day and exploring dining options at night. I hope to stay here again next time I get to visit Kyoto.

Great location and atmospher!

Yumi and Mariko, My husband and I were so pleased with our stay at our Saiho-ji Garden Machiya. It's always kind of scary booking something out of the country and so far in advance, but we couldn't have been more pleased. I used to live in Osaka and have visited Kyoto many times, but I have never been to the Kiyomizu neighborhood. What a great place to stay! It was so nice to come home to a real house at the end of a busy day. I gave the brochure of your five properties to friends visiting Kyoto next fall and insisted they book one of your places instead of a hotel.

Amazing time.

We had a wonderful time! When we arrived at house Marika was there to greet us and was so friendly. She showed us around the house and how to operate everything like the washing machine. There were also laminates there with instructions in case you forgot. The house was spotlessly clean. Beds were comfy. Me and my husband were allocated the futons by our teenage children and we found them great. We loved the Nespresso machine which came with lots of capsules, we enjoyed our morning coffee on the little deck upstairs. Was very hot when we visited and the air-con worked great. although checked out on google maps I was still surprised how easy we were able to walk to Gion Festival in town, refered to Kiyomizu-dera as 'our temple' as it was so close.There were plenty of convenience stores and a supermarket near for stocking up on supplies. As I had already seen in previous reviews the walls were quite thin and could hear some noise from outside and occasionally neighbours. Doors were quite rattly in high wind ( was storm when we were there ) this if anything added to the charm of staying in an old Kyoto building for us so certainly not a negative in my book but I know from other review websites some people like to cut themselves off from world so probably not for them. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you!

Beautiful house, excellent location

This being my fifth visit to Kyoto, I wanted to book something special and unique for my partner and his family who were visiting from Australia over the New Year period. Shofu-an was perfect for what we were after. The house is well-equipped and was comfortably able to host five adults for a week. Whilst the living space was a bit tight with five people, the bedrooms are very spacious and the bathroom with separate bath, toilet and laundry worked really well for our group. It even snowed whilst we were in Kyoto and the house remained warm and cozy inside. Most importantly however, Shofu-an is in a brilliant location, close to Kyoto's most popular shrines and temples, as well as shopping and restaurants. We mostly walked everywhere however, the house is serviced by a number of buses and train stations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend Shofu-an to anyone looking for a more memorable and unique accommodation experience.

Great location & unique experience

We are a family of 4, 2 adults n 2 teenagers. The space is right for our family n we enjoyed the veranda. In fact, we enjoyed a late lunch there n it was great way to get away fr the crowd, as we were there during a long weekend holiday. The Machiya experience is unique as it gives us a feel of living like the Japanese. It's located at the foot of Kiyomizu Temple and we could reach many important and famous places at a walking distance: Yasaka pagoda, Kodaiji temple, Maruyama Park. There is also 24 hr supermarket nearby for us to stock up on breakfast as kyoto generally starts "waking up" around 11.

Lovely old-world experience

My husband and I were recently in Japan for our honeymoon and had a really lovely time at Shofu-an. It's delightfully quaint (I especially liked the little garden) yet equipped with modern comforts like a high-tech bathroom and heating. The beds were firm but very comfortable. If you are a light sleeper or particularly sensitive to noise, do note the walls are very thin and we could often hear our neighbours' conversations and the cars passing, neighbour's dog barking etc. However, we found the location quite unbeatable and loved how easy it was to get to most places via a quick bus ride. Thanks Roxana for your hospitality and we really enjoyed that oil soba place you recommended! Look forward to coming back in the near future.

We have been in Kyota for two weeks and stayed at Shofu-an for only 4 days . It was the best experience - the apartment was perfect, it was situated in a great area , close to wonderful eating places, shrines all tucked away everywhere and temples. Our favourite place in Kyota. Roxana, our host, was delightful. She was super helpful during our stay and added to our whole wonderful experience.

Hello, everyone!
The team manages the townhouse.
We are 2 woman and 2 male who live in Kyoto and Osaka!
We will do our best to support you during your stay.
Your trip to Kyoto will surely be a special trip.
Please feel free to contact us anytime!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

In this Kyoto typical house we could see a glitter of traditional atmosphere on the roof, wooden pillars, sliding doors or small garden inside the house.
The Kyoto townhouse is called Machiya and this house strongly stimulated us to restore for living. Machiya used to be townhouses or shops for the merchants in the 17th century.
Not only temples and shrines, but machiya stay is an attractive experience for all who want to know more about Kyoto' life style and its culture.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

A 15 minutes walk will take you to the riverside of the Kamogawa. You can take a pleasent stroll along the river, or do shopping in the nearby Kawaramachi area, convenient during rainy days as the shopping streets are covered, like Nishiki food market street.
A night life spot is Pontocho, a narrow lane with no cars, full of elegant restaurants, bars, and where you can have a glimpse of a Geisha or Maiko on the way or from an appointment. In the next street west side of Pontocho there is Kiyamachi, a very lively night zone where you can find many kinds of restaurants, bars, pubs and more...
Enjoy Kyoto just walking from Shofu-an!
