About this property

Serendipity in Kyoto, home near the Imperial Palace

  • 124 years old charming Japanese traditional wooden town house (machiya), fully renovated to a holiday rental house.

    This house is located in the very center of Kyoto city. Walking distance to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Nijo castle of world heritage, Gaisha area etc. To access all main beautiful places like Golden Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Gion etc., takes only about 15 minutes.

    There are lots of famous restaurants, cafes and bars around the house, and even you can experience Japanese traditional public bath (sento) near our house.

    Our house is in a quaint back street of the city and this is the best place for you to explore the real Japanese lifestyle.

    How about going to the cafe where Kyoto people gather in the morning or public bath at night in our neighborhood where you can have a chat and become friends with local people.

    The surrounded area of our house is not crowded by tourists, is also a advantage for you to enjoy the calm daily life of local people.

    Inside the house has been designed with the image of a Japanese tea‐ceremony room (chashitsu), to provide our guests the simple but cozy Japanese cultural atmosphere at home.

    This house is a two story building with living room, kitchen, bath, toilet etc. in the first floor and two bed rooms in the second floor. we are Newly renovated and the house is very clean and new.

    We have futons (beds) up to 5 guests. We of cause welcome you all and very much recommend for families with children. Since we are in the middle of a typical very friendly and strongly connected local community, you could enjoy the hospitality of Kyoto citizens.

    We wish you to spend relaxed during your stay and we are very glad if you feel this place as your own home in Kyoto.

    We wish your stay in Kyoto will be a one with lots of lovely serendipity. From that meaning we named this house "Serendipity @ Kyoto"

    Our house "Serendipity Kyoto" is a licensed accommodation where you can stay with more trust, more safety and more security.
