Yuzunoe Completely private townhouse for rent

‘Yuzunoe’ machiya house: a traditional Kyoto holiday house (vacation rental) located just a short walk from the grand torii gate of Heian Jingu Shrine. In this neighborhood, you'll not only find historical temples & shrines, but a number of museums, local restaurants and shops, lush greenery of the Higashiyama mountains and more. This renovated machiya house offers a modern take on Kyoto's traditional design. One step into Yuzunoe, and you'll be greeted by a sky-high ceiling that is constructed with large wooden beams and bamboo komai clay walls, which retain the atmosphere of a quintessential Kyoto-style machiya house. The ceiling is lit by a skylight that brightens the room with natural light, allowing you to appreciate the ever-changing expression of this machiya hoouse throughout the day. The spacious kitchen extends into the living room, while the bathroom is designed to feel like an open-air 'rotenburo' bath where you are surrounded by nature.
