Overview

Izuki Machiya House is a one-of-a-kind holiday home in Kyoto, ideal for culture enthusiasts. It boasts more than 130 years of history, and you can see that in its traditional architecture. Its location is also top-notch, just a short walk from the UNESCO-listed Nishi Honganji Temple. The machiya is one of the many old townhouses located on the Shomen-dori street. Inside, it offers two comfortable bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a dining area for family meals. You'll also have access to a well-equipped private kitchen for your daily meals. The highlight of the property is the Japanese garden right outside the living room, offering a refreshing space to unwind.

History

Izuki Machiya House was built over 130 years ago. The exact date of establishment is unknown, but the property likely belongs to the late 19th century, which constituted the Meiji Era. Very recently, in October 2024, it was renovated and opened as a holiday home, harmoniously blending heritage and modernity. The machiya is named after the Japanese phrase “出づる” (izuru), which means to set out or emerge. True to its name, the property serves as a great jump-off point for visiting cultural attractions in the area, such as Nishi Honganji Temple.
