The space
「Muse」locates in one of the most ancient and traditional regions, Kyoto. During that period the kimono was in the prime, every family in this area engaged in handmade brocade, and the high-class brocade made in this place belongs to the well-known “NISHIJIN”.
The strong sense of Kyoto could be experienced only by rambling the everlasting Machiya Inn, zigzag and winding paths, as well as the traditional buildings with thin-grid doors and windows.
Convenient for life: on the commercial street filled with sense of the times and atmosphere of humanism, the convenience stores, supermarkets, sushi-go-around restaurant, lamian noodle restaurants and Japanese-style snack stores are spreading all over. People could even encounter the bayadere from Kamishichiken and experience the public bath culture of Japanese style.

我生于80年代末的上海，27岁时移居京都，在这里运营4栋町屋民宿。 我也曾去过日本许多城市，在京都旅行时被这里的町屋建筑深深吸引。 希望能将这座古都宁静祥和的生活节奏与传统文化，分享给每一位客人。 I was born in Shanghai and moved to Kyoto, started to run 4 machiya B&Bs when I was 27. I have loved Japanese animation since I was a child, have visited many cities in Japan. When traveled to Kyoto, I was deeply attracted by the architecture here. Hope to share the peaceful lifestyle and traditional culture of the ancient capital with every guest.
