【 About Momiji-an 】
"Momiji-an" is one of the properties managed by Kyo Machiya Miyabi in the Kiyomizu area. Designed by renowned Kyoto-based architect Geoffrey P. Moussas, a large traditional Kyoto townhouse was meticulously divided into three independent Machiya units: Bairin-an, Shofu-an, and Momiji-an.
This charming two-story residence allows you to experience the authentic layout of a traditional townhouse. While we are committed to preserving the traditional architectural techniques handed down through the centuries, we also prioritize modern comfort. The house is fully equipped with a modern bath and shower room, high-tech toilet, kitchen, and floor heating, creating a perfect balance between "old-world charm" and "modern convenience."
The bathroom is a highlight, featuring large windows that offer a beautiful, open feeling. Rest assured, your privacy is fully protected, as it is designed so that no one can see in from the outside. You can relax and unwind in complete comfort.
【 About the Location 】
"Momiji-an" is ideally situated right at the foot of the World Heritage site, Kiyomizu Temple. You can enjoy a pleasant stroll to iconic spots like Ninenzaka, Yasaka Shrine, and Gion—the most famous Geisha district—while soaking in the beautiful atmosphere of Kyoto.
While it is exceptionally convenient for exploring the city, the house itself is tucked away in a quiet residential lane, serving as a peaceful sanctuary. After a busy day of sightseeing, you can return to this serene spot and experience the authentic, calm lifestyle of a local.
With city buses or rental bikes, you can reach most of Kyoto's famous sites within 30 minutes. We look forward to welcoming you to this special place where convenience meets tranquility.

Rina welcomed us with a big smile and lots of helpful information. The house was presented beautifully, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We especially appreciated the big bath with the garden view. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Momiji-an house for 3 nights and had a great time. The house itself is spacious and well looked after. The neigborhood is fantastic, a really great way to get the "traditional" Kyoto experience. I would happily recommend this to others.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2024
We were looking for an historical place to spend the night during our stay in Kyoto and this place is very well situated, yes away frlm the crowd so you are not bothered by noises. Because this is a historical house, it is not sound proof bug this is part of the experience and lime I said, it's a very quiet street so outdoor noises where not an issue at all. Neighbors were very quiet. We realized that ghere qas someone only when we heard someone coughing :). It's 2 mn walk away from the historical streets that are pedestrian. Very convenient. There's no block out curtains in the tatami room (where you sleep) but we had sleeping masks and this wasn't an issue for us.
The owner was very responsive and always eager to help. I definitely recommend this place.

My husband and I had a great time in Kyoto! This was our first visit & most definitely not our last.
From the minute we booked this house to stay, we knew we would have a nice stay. Everyone’s correspondence thru the app were so prompt & incredibly helpful! We had the pleasure of meeting Jun & Jackie. Jun, thank you for being so lovely & warm. You welcomed us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for our anniversary.
The house was perfect for us. Very clean, spacious, loved the bathroom (still reminiscing, sighs & smiles) I was super happy about the washer & dryer. It’s the best 2-1machine we have ever used! Ooh and another great feature, especially if you will stay here in the cold season, the floors are heated!!!! Need I say more?! Lol ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOUSE
Also, Jun gave us many suggestions for food & to do! Arigatōu gozaimasu 🙏�🏽� !! We were able to walk to Gion, Geisha district, Zen temple and many others. The food around town is outstanding! Everyone in the markets & boutique stores were inviting & friendly.
We will be back & look forward to staying here again! OX
