At our facility, you can enjoy a carp mural carefully painted by a famous muralist from Kyoto. The mural not only expresses the essence of traditional Japanese art, but also brings a sense of tranquility and harmony to your stay. The mural perfectly combines traditional techniques and modern aesthetics, giving the entire space a unique artistic flavor.

The artist is a master of Kyoto mural painting, known for his delicate brushwork and vivid expression, and his work is exhibited not only in many commercial facilities such as Kyoto's Seiryu-en Gate Ruins, Kansai International Airport, and Gion Festival, but also highly rated overseas.

The carp in the mural symbolizes luck, prosperity, and longevity in Japanese culture. The artist's carp-themed mural not only looks fun, but also conveys luck and blessings.

The space
We renovated a Machiya Townhouse that was over 100 years old with the idea of "enjoying a comfortable stay in a Kyomachiya".

Bath
We designed it to be a bath that soothes the fatigue of your travels.
Please enjoy a relaxing time in Kyoto in a large bath with the scent of cypress.
Bathrooms are fully air-conditioned to create a comfortable bath time all year round.

Living area
We designed it with the hope that you will feel the essence of Kyoto in the room.
The carp art by Hideki Kimura, a well-known artist in Kyoto, will make you feel Kyoto during your stay.
The room is equipped with floor heating, so you can stay warm even in the cold Kyoto winter.

Entrance
We created an entrance that will excite guests as soon as they enter the entrance.
A dragon, carefully drawn by Hideki Kimura, supports your safe and enjoyable journey.

Kitchen
We've introduced a system kitchen for ease of use.
You can enjoy cooking with the latest equipment that doesn't feel like a 100-year-old Kyomachi house.
