Nishijin Isa Machiya Holiday House

 

 

 

 

This is a renovated, traditional Japanese machiya (private holiday home) that was first built almost 100 years ago. It has also long served as a ‘Nishijin’ kimono textile factory, where you would have been able to observe craftsmen using traditional wooden weaving machines to create intricate and beautiful fabrics. Now, you’ll be able to admire these textiles and weaving machines up close in the display area of the house.
Preserving the charm of traditional Kyoto-style machiya, this machiya house features white mushiko-mado windows and lattice wooden doors and windows for its exterior. Enter through the sliding doors to a spacious area that showcases high ceilings, wooden beams stretching across the ceiling, and plenty of natural light to illuminate the space.
On the 1F is a classic tatami room (which can sleep up to 3 guests on futon bedding), a renovated bathroom with a wooden bath, and a washing machine. Upstairs, you’ll find an additional tatami room, an updated kitchen with modern appliances, an additional shower and toilet, and a dining room with a table and chairs. Up to 5 guests can stay together in this traditional Japanese house.
