Hana-Serenity Villa
A Serene Machiya Stay in Higashiyama, Steeped in Japanese Ambiance
A century-old Kyoto machiya, thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original charm—timber beams, earthen walls, and classic latticework—while offering the comfort and functionality of modern living. Located in the Higashiyama area, the house is within walking distance of Gion-Shijo, often regarded as the heart of Kyoto’s bustling downtown. Kiyomizu-Gojo Station is about a 5-minute walk away, and Kyoto Station can be reached in around 10 minutes by taxi. Here, time slows down—morning light filters through wooden windows, and evenings return you to a warm lamp and a cup of tea. This is more than a place to stay; it’s an invitation to experience Kyoto as if you lived here.
A Machiya Stay That Follows the Rhythm of Life
The space unfolds at a gentle, lived-in pace. In the tatami lounge, gather around a low table as light and shadow quietly drift across the walls. The adjoining dining and kitchen area is designed for ease—perfect for simple home-cooked meals and unhurried conversations. Step outside to a private courtyard, a signature of machiya living. At night, soft lighting reveals moss, stones, and greenery, inviting a calm that settles into every breath.
Restful Bedrooms for Up to 6 Guests
Upstairs, the bedrooms carry the quiet spirit of a traditional machiya. Warm timber beams, earthen walls, and soft light through shoji screens naturally slow the breath. Maximum 6 guests, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together—each sleeping space offers a sense of calm, comfort, and just the right amount of privacy. In Kyoto, a truly restful night can be the most luxurious part of the journey.
A Bathing Ritual to Restore You
The most restorative moments of travel often happen in the bath. Here, deep-toned soaking tubs and refined Japanese details create a quiet ritual—water falls, tension dissolves, and the gentle presence of the courtyard greenery slips in through the window. The washbasin and shower areas are equally well considered: clean, functional, and warmly designed, so every part of your routine feels cared for.
