Ichiyo-An
Ichiyo-An
Experience the depth of Gion in a spacious 3-bedroom sanctuary.
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.
82sqm of Living Space
A generous open-plan living area with full kitchen, dining for 9, and direct access to the first-floor bedroom.
Just Behind Kennin-ji
Kyoto’s oldest Zen temple is your next-door neighbor — a 1-minute walk from your door.
3 Completely Separate Bedrooms
Unlike most machiya with shared sleeping areas, Ichiyo-An offers true privacy with 3 individual bedrooms — each with its own door. Perfect for groups who want togetherness without sacrificing personal space.
Bedroom 1 — Western Twin
洋室ツイン（1F）
Ground floor western-style room offering easy access and comfortable beds.
