Sawaragi
Guest House "Sawaragi" is a traditional Kyoto townhouse (kyo-machiya) located near historic landmarks such as the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle, available as a private whole-house rental.
The surrounding neighborhood is dotted with long-established shops dating back to the Edo period — including tofu makers, fresh wheat gluten (nama-fu) artisans, and renowned Kyoto cuisine restaurants — making it the perfect location to experience everyday life in Kyoto.
While preserving the traditional atmosphere of a Kyoto townhouse, the property is equipped with modern amenities, allowing you to relax and feel right at home, as if staying at your own private villa.
The Carefree Comfort of a Private House Rental
As a private whole-house rental, our guesthouse is perfect for traveling with children or among friends. There is no curfew after check-in, so you are free to spend your time as you wish.
A bus stop and train station are within easy walking distance, and a large supermarket open until midnight is nearby — making the location ideal for both sightseeing excursions and quiet, relaxing time within the guesthouse.
Please enjoy Kyoto at your own pace, in whatever way suits you best.
居間 Dining
A living-dining area facing a small alleyway.
Comfortable seating allows you to stretch out and relax, so even guests unaccustomed to sitting on tatami can unwind with ease.

台所 Kitchen
The kitchen comes fully equipped with a refrigerator, rice cooker, microwave, and toaster. Basic cookware is also provided, so you can enjoy preparing your own meals.

壺庭 Garden
In traditional machiya townhouses, a small inner courtyard called a tsuboniwa was created to bring natural light and air into the home.
