時間を愛する家

a fond growing Machiya home

Morning coffee, the crisp cold sky,
and the soft and gentle expression
of the plaster walls...
A space filled with affection,
feeling the four seasons as only a Machiya can.
Standing quietly at the end of the alley,
this is a house where you can relax
and enjoy a tender home time.

  • A secluded hideaway in an alley

    After being greeted by a wooden gate, at the end of the alleyway stands a Machiya that feels like a hideaway. Once you step into the passage, you will immediately be surrounded by the peace and sereneness that makes one forget about everyday life.

  • Comfortable living room with underfloor heating while enjoying the Japanese atmosphere

    The living room facing the garden retains the features of a Japanese-style room, such as the Tokonoma alcove and Saobuchi (board and batten) Ceiling. The flooring has been replaced with wooden flooring suitable for modern living while maintaining the taste of an old Machiya. A floor heating system has also been installed to keep you warm in the cold winter.

  • A garden where you can feel the changing of the seasons

    The garden, which changes its expression with the seasons and time, is an essential part of a Japanese house. The shadows of the leaves swaying through the Shoji screens are peaceful and relaxing. How about sitting comfortably on the porch, sipping a cup of tea, and admiring the plants in the garden?

  • Adjacent Tatami room
    with plenty of light

    The adjoining Tatami rooms on the 2F are spacious with three-side openings, allowing plenty amount of natural light and wind to go through the space. The sunroom, which connects the balcony to the Tatami room on the west side, can be used as an inner terrace where plants or a table set can be set up.
