Overview
Kyomachiya Tsubaki-an Kyoto is a lodging in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, where you can rent a traditional Kyoto machiya townhouse more than 90 years old as a whole. It takes just 1 family or 1 group, up to 9 guests, and comes with 3 Japanese-style tatami rooms, a Western-style room on the second floor, a hinoki (Japanese cypress) bath and a kitchen. With no other guests around, the appeal is being able to spend time as a family without worrying about a baby's voice or the noise of small children.

A crib is provided too, and with Enmachi Station on the JR line about an 8-minute walk away and good access toward Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama, it is a whole-house machiya well suited to a longer stay in Kyoto, lived rather than merely visited.
