Terrazza House : a balcony overlooking Kyoto

Description from the owner

Due to its location, in a quiet area, overlooking the Philosopher's Path, with its superb view of Yoshida hill, its brightness and its remarkable comfort, Terrazza is a unique location.

Very beautiful and spacious apartment with contemporary Japanese architecture, this exceptional context offers you everything you need for the most peaceful and restful holiday.

Each room of the house offers exemplary comfort, relaxation in the Japanese bathroom and the Japanese living room, user-friendliness in the kitchen and the large living room.

In the summer you can eat on the large terrace, which overlooks the famous Philosopher's Pa...th while taking advantage of the view of the north of Kyoto and Yoshida hill. A unique experience.

One-level flat: Hall, living room, high-tech Japanese kitchen, office, 3 bedrooms (a large Japanese bedroom with 8 tatamis and a double bedroom and a single bedroom), 2 bathrooms (one European and one Japanese). Huge living room with a grand piano leading to the 50m2 terrace, the terrace structure gives you the impression that you are in a house although you are on the last floor of a modern building.Read more

Additional Location Information

The Philosopher's Path is the most famous promenade in Kyoto and connects the silver pavilion with the splendid Nanzenji temple district. At the foot of Mount Daïmonji, the path follows a canal bordered by cherry trees, small cafés, craft shops and restaurants. Lots of visitors come when the cherry and maple trees are in bloom and enjoy this wonderful spectacle.

Located opposite the unknown and yet marvellous temple Honen-in where the famous writer Tanizaki Junichiro rests.

Nearby there is a small fresh produce market, Fresco, very convenient for those who want to dine at home as well as a delicious bakery, Yamada Bakery.

The bus lines are two steps away, enabling you to easily access the city's other tourist areas

  Terrazza House : bon rapport qualité-prix, quartier magnifique

  Left on 09/17/2012 for a stay in November 2010
  
  

  Pour notre 3ème séjour à Kyoto, nous avons décidé de louer un appartement pour être plus autonome et vivre un peu comme les Japonais. Nous avons découvert les maisons et appartements à louer sur le site Vivre le Japon et avons loué pour 6 jours l'appartement Terrazza. Commençons par les points positifs : la situation est tout simplement unique, l'appartement donne directement sur le chemin de la philosophie, qui surplombe la ville. Le temple d'argent est à 10mn à pied, et on arrive très vite dans le centre ville grâce aux nombreuses lignes de bus très proches. L'appartement est très grand, il convient pour un séjour en famille (deux salles de bain, 3 chambres, grand salon). Mention spéciale pour la chambre japonaise, très agréable. Malheureusement nous avons rencontré un problème concernant le ménage qui devait être fait à notre arrivée (comme mentionné sur le site). Or rien n'avait été fait, nous avons donc commencé par nettoyer les salles de bain et la cuisine. Le rideau de douche d'une des salles de bain était entièrement moisi ... La personne en charge de l'accueil n'était pas très au courant, elle a oublié de nous donné les draps pour nos futons ... Nous avons signalé ce problème à Vivre le Japon qui doit nous recontacter, nous attendons toujours ... Cela nous a donc un peu gâché l'arrivée, mais au final nous étions satisfaits de notre séjour, grâce au charme du quartier et du prix de location qui reste assez bas pour un 100m² ! Nous espérons que Vivre le Japon organisera tout cela un peu mieux et nous reviendrons avec plaisir ! Un grand merci à Daniel pour la ballade nocturne dans Kyoto !

  Spacious and delightful gem.

  Left on 07/04/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  The photos don't lie, this is a gem on the hill ~50 m above the Philosophers Walk. Two large western bedrooms and a charming large tatami mat living/bedroom. We all enjoyed the cooling natural breezes not felt in much of Kyoto - and the air con was great for that inevitable summer humidity. Daniel (the local agent, called the 'Travel angel', a compulsory part of the booking) met us on arrival as organised and showed us around the house and local shops and helped us with transactions with the charming locals (6 words of Japanese occasionally weren't enough).
  Our 2 teenage children loved the huge (by Japanese standards) living room and large balcony. Our friends loved their comfortable and private bedroom and ensuite. I loved the tranquility, space and airy views especially on the 2 days I was unwell and mostly stayed home. Great kitchen. Good value for 6 of us and thank you again Daniel.
