The Experience

A Spacious Sanctuary Behind Kennin-ji

建仁寺の裏に佇む、82平米の広々とした町家。

Ichiyo-An is a rare find — an 82sqm machiya with 3 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.
