My work: Founder of Kyotofish
Most useless skill: Getting lost in Kyoto’s small streets
Hi, I’m Karen, founder of Kyotofish. Kyotofish restores traditional Kyoto machiya and carefully brings them back to life as places to stay. Each house keeps its original structure, light, and atmosphere. Our homes are quietly scattered across Kyoto — in small streets, historic neighborhoods, and beside gentle rivers. I hope your stay allows you to experience a slower side of Kyoto.
