Stays·machiya·KyotoPlaceholder
A restored wooden townhouse of your own, with a courtyard garden and a deep cypress tub.
A hundred-year-old merchant’s house, narrow at the front and long at the back, the way Kyoto taxed them. The shop front is now a sitting room. The courtyard holds a stone basin and a single camellia.
You have the whole house. Breakfast can be brought in from a neighbourhood bakery, and the local bathhouse is two streets away if you want the steam and the gossip.
