This stylish traditional Japanese house blends the best design elements from the home’s history with modern flourishes to ensure guests can enjoy both the most comfortable and most authentic machiya experience out there. Kyoka is a two-story complex with living quarters on the ground floor and bedrooms on the upper floor. It also boasts a delightful self-contained Japanese garden perfect for sitting out in the golden Kyoto sun and contemplating the day’s adventures. Kyoka emphasizes the home’s deep connection to Kyoto’s historical legacy and the designer’s love of simple Japanese elegance with tatami mat flooring throughout. The home is located in the heart of the city, but far enough off the main roads to ensure peace and quiet, offering both accessibility and tranquility in equal balanced measure. If you love the free-flowing feel of traditional machiya but want to retain your creature comforts, then Kyoka is the ideal choice. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen -
