About machiya and tatami homes
Of the 3 homes, 2 are machiya-style and 3 have a tatami room.
Machiya-style homes follow the traditional Kyoto townhouse layout — a narrow frontage running deep from the street — and some have steep stairs. If anyone has limited mobility or you have small children, check the floor plan on each home's page or ask us before booking.
