Nijo Garden Villa - a beautiful traditional Japanese machiya house
A large traditional Japanese stay for up to 9 people.
This house is located near the famous Nijo castle in Kyoto, and is a beautiful traditional Japanese machiya house with history, but well maintained with modern kitchens and bathrooms. It has a beautiful Japanese garden in the middle that gives you some peace and quiet in the bustling streets of Kyoto. There are 2 tatami bedrooms, 1 is equipped with 2 semi double beds, with some room for extra futons, and the other bedroom can also accommodate multiple futons. There is 1 bathroom equipped with an elegant hinoki bathtub, and the other one has a shower. There is a simple modern kitchen equipped with all the basic necessities like a fridge, microwave oven, IH stove, and kitchen utensils. All of this is wrapped in typically Japanese architecture, where warm woods and the smell of tatami floors make you feel at home.
Please communicate to your house angel about your time of arrival at the house,, so our staff can greet you and assist you during your check in process. You can also contact the house angel for any questions during your stay.
Charming historic property in Kyoto with modern amenities and a wonderful host. Solene, the property manager, was kind and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay in this machiya again and highly recommend it!

Amazing space, all the conveniences you need and more for what you didn’t think you’d need! They thought of it all. Super convenient location, quiet and comfortable. Next time we come to Kyoto, we will look to book here again!
