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?
