Ichiyo-An
Ichiyo-An
Experience the depth of Gion in a spacious 4-bedroom sanctuary.
A Spacious Sanctuary Behind Kennin-ji
A spacious 82 sqm machiya tucked behind Kennin-ji Temple.
Ichiyo-An is a rare find — an 82 sqm machiya with 4 completely separate bedrooms, just steps from Kennin-ji Temple. With capacity for up to 9 guests, it ensures a very local experience off the beaten track while still being in the middle of Gion. The perfect base for large groups, multi-generational families, or friends traveling together.
82 sqm of Living Space
A generous open-plan living area with full kitchen, a dining table for 4, and direct access to the first-floor bedroom.
Traditional Genkan Entrance
Step into authentic machiya living through a classic genkan with dark wood wainscoting and warm lighting.
Modern Soaking Bath
Relax in a deep amber-colored bathtub with elegant stone-tile accents and a refreshing shower.
Home Amenities
Full laundry facilities and a charming ceramic wash basin for your everyday convenience.
Just Behind Kennin-ji
Kyoto's oldest Zen temple is your next-door neighbor — a 1-minute walk from your door.
4 Completely Separate Bedrooms
Unlike most machiya with shared sleeping areas, Ichiyo-An offers true privacy with 4 individual bedrooms — each with its own door. Perfect for groups who want togetherness without sacrificing personal space.
Bedroom 1 — Western Twin
Ground floor western-style room offering easy access and comfortable beds.
Bedroom 2 — Tatami Room
Traditional tatami room with futons for an authentic Japanese sleep experience.
Bedroom 3 — Tatami Room
Second tatami room accommodating up to 2 guests for couples or small groups.
Bedroom 4 — Western Twin
Second floor western-style room with comfortable twin beds and natural light.
Everything for a Large Group Stay
Two Floors, Four Private Rooms
The first floor houses the shared living spaces and one western bedroom. The second floor offers two tatami rooms and one western twin for a total of 7 guests.
