This Kyomachiya is located in one of Kyoto's most sought-after sightseeing areas in Higashiyama, surrounded by the historic atmosphere of Gion. Within walking distance are numerous cultural landmarks, including Yasaka Shrine (approx. 550m to the West Gate) and Kenninji Temple (approx. 270m to the North Gate).
Nearby, you can often see rickshaws passing through the narrow streets and Maiko and Geiko strolling gracefully along Hanamikoji Street (approx. 200m to Gion Kobu Kaburenjo Theater), a scene unique to Kyoto.
Although the area is popular among visitors, the property is situated down a quiet side alley, lined with traditional residences that retain a sense of old Kyoto life. To the west flows the Kamo River (approx. 350m to Shijo Bridge), offering a peaceful natural landscape just a short walk away.
