Kiyomizu Townhouse at Perfect location | House in Kyoto
2 Bedroom House in Sannenzaka Ninenzaka, Kyoto
Located at the foot of Kiyomizu Temple, our house "Kiyomizu Shukuba" is a 90 year-old building.
The building follows the original, traditional Kyoto-style residence architecture, with a living area on the second floor (Kiyomizu Shukuba), and a small restaurant on the first floor (Kiyomizu Tateba).Each floor has its own private entry.
Shukuba is an Edo-period word the Japanese used to refer to places to spend the night along the Gokaido roads, which once connected Edo (now called Tokyo) to the outer provinces. It relays our desire to have our guests relax and enjoy the culture, history and craftsmanship of traditional Japan.
Kiyomizu Shukuba is well located on a quiet street in the Higashiyama-ward neighborhood, near some of Kyotos most famous temples and other historic landmarks.
We are at the foot of the Kiyomizu Temple, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site that was established by Enchin over a thousand years ago.
In addition to Kiyomizu temple, we are a 10-minute walk from other beautiful temples and shrines including: Sannenzaka,
Kennin-ji Temple, Yasaka Shrine, Kodai-ji Temple, Rokuharamitsu-ji Temple, Sanjusangendo Temple and Chion Temple. Gion, known for its tradition of geiko (as geisha are referred to in Kyoto), old style tea houses and cobblestone streets is also just a walk away.
The Kyoto National Museum is also nearby. The neighbourhood is perfect for wandering and relaxed strolls and provide unique opportunities for discovering special spots, such as senbei (Japanese crackers) and tofu making shops.
The building was renovated to honor the following two points: 1.Introducing the new while preserving the old. / 2. Emphasizing craftsmanship. Kiyomizu Shukuba preserves as many old features as possible while carefully introducing new ones.
This is also true for fixtures. When possible, old original fixtures are kept and used. For new fixtures, only hand-crafted ones are used.
All of Kiyomizu Shukubas walls are covered with Japanese traditional craft wallpaper, "Tosa Washi". Tosa Washi is hand-crafted, and has been produced for more than a thousand years using Japanese traditional style.
Tosa Washi is also known as the breathing paper due to its moisture regulating qualities, which keeps rooms warmer during winter, and cooler during summer.
You are welcome to touch and feel the elegance of the traditional Japanese residence and craftsmanship in every detail including fixtures and wallpaper.
