Gojo

The luxurious Gojo house was extensively renovated by award winning Tokyo based architects and includes great amenities, modern appliances, thermal insulation, anti-seismic equipment, refurbished antique materials and more to harmoniously combine tradition and elegance with safety and comfort.

Description of the house

The ground floor offers a luminous, spacious open-space from every part of which you can enjoy our garden. The modern counter kitchen area and dining-sitting space face each other, while the tatami room with its own tsubo-niwa (private pocket garden) completes the layout.

The semi-detached former tea pavilion has been converted into a sleeping area with the bathroom being on the lower level and the bedroom on the higher one.

As far as beddings are concerned, the tatami room next to the sitting area provides traditional Japanese futons, while the converted tearoom has a western style double bed.

The studio area is on the second floor and enjoys its own entrance, kitchen area and bathroom. It can operate as a completely independent unit and measures around 500 Sq Ft (45 Sqm)

The neighborhood

The house is located a short a 15 walk from Kyoto station and 5 min from Gojo station, and is blessed with a peaceful, tranquil environment, yet close to Honganji temple and great restaurants to truly enjoy your stay in Kyoto.
