In the serene neighborhood of Kitaoji, Kyoto,
a residence with red roof tiles and cream-colored walls quietly rests on a peaceful corner lot.
Built in the early Showa period by a Wagashi (traditional confectionery) merchant and Sunday painter,
this home was brought to life by the skilled hands of “Kumakura Komuten”, a master Kyoto builder.
Its Spanish-inspired details, a studio bathed in gentle light, a sunroom, and a sculpted plaster ceiling,
all reflect a resident’s refined aesthetic sensibility.
Surrounded by beauty and tranquility that capture the passage of time,
your month-long stay begins here.
A Living Room That Echoes the Showa Era
This Western-style living room exudes nostalgic charm, with soft natural light streaming in and wooden beams adding a sense of stately elegance. Classical furnishings and decorative accents are placed throughout, offering the composed atmosphere only a historic home can provide. When the adjoining dining room’s doors are opened, the space expands into one large, flowing area - perfect for relaxation during your stay.
A Serene Japanese Annex with Garden Views
Facing the garden, the Japanese-style room annex offers a peaceful space filled with gentle light through paper Shoji screens. A low table at the center invites moments of reading, conversation, or quiet contemplation. Beyond the veranda, a lush garden unfolds, offering a luxurious view of the changing seasons. A sunroom overlooking the garden also provides a perfect retreat for restful afternoons.
Two Romantic Western-Style Bedrooms
On the 2nd floor are two Western-style bedrooms, each echoing a classical, almost fairytale-like ambiance. With arch windows, ornate ceilings, and calming hues, the spaces are filled with the quiet elegance of old European charm.
