About this house rental
The Tenpō is an exclusive private machiya, welcoming only one group per day, nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance of Kyoto Station.
Lovingly restored from a 220-year-old Edo-period residence, the property has been recognized by the City of Kyoto as a Selected Cultural Property, preserving its historic character while offering the comforts of modern luxury.
Surrounded by a 110㎡ Japanese garden, guests can enjoy an open-air garden bath, a traditional maki wood bath, and a private sauna. As evening falls, the illuminated garden creates a tranquil atmosphere unique to Kyoto.
Inside, the residence showcases a magnificent 3,000-year-old Yakusugi cedar slab table, elegant Cassina designer furniture, and carefully curated interiors that blend the timeless beauty of a traditional Kyoto machiya with contemporary comfort.
