MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Kyoto “Mitsuna” Private Machiya House Opening December 2025

Mitsuna Machiya House, a private, renovated traditional townhouse, has opened in Kyoto, offering guests a private machiya stay in one of the city’s most historic areas.

Located near Miyagawa-cho, within walking distance of the historic streets of Gion, Mitsuna reflects the distinctive tsushinikai architectural style unique to Kyoto townhouses. While its exterior retains a traditional appearance, the interior has been carefully restored to provide a comfortable and spacious setting for modern travelers.

This private machiya house accommodates up to 9 guests and features 3 bedrooms, including one Western-style bedroom with a queen-size bed and 2 traditional tatami rooms that can be arranged with futon bedding. For added comfort, the living area includes sofa seating, while the dining room is fitted with a horigotatsu-style table, allowing guests to sit comfortably with leg space beneath the table.

Additional amenities include tatami living areas, a Japanese garden, a hinoki cypress wood bath, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and additional bathing facilities on the second floor. Mitsuna is suited for families and groups seeking a private and refined base for exploring Kyoto’s historic districts. Mitsuna Machiya House is now accepting reservations.
