| Kyoto machiya are traditional townhouses with distinctive Kyoto-style latticework doors and slatted second-story windows. These long homes with narrow fronts extend far into the rear, a shape which earned them the nickname eel’s bed. Kyoto machiya are not only beautiful but also functional homes. | |||||||||||||
Rent a traditional house in the heart of Kyoto and discover the ancient capital of japanese culture, arts and handycrafts.
