Description from owner
Description
Reikaku Yasaka was a building in ruins with floor on the left and right hand side of the building tilted by at least 30cm when we discovered this hidden jewel. Prior to the formal restoration of Reikaku in 2017, there was number of large scale renovation of the property carried out by the previous owner in the 80s when this Machiya was extended all the way to the street to allow for construction of modern squared shape house that maximized the indoor space. Restoration was particularly difficult due to the state it was in but our craftsman’s determination to bring this Machiya back to its formal glory paid off for Reikaku Yasaka.
The Space
Reikaku Yasaka is a Machiya that has been built for nearly 100 years. Our carefully crafted design is able to maintain the authenticity of the building with the comfort of modernity. When entering the entrance of Reikaku Yasaka, the tall ceiling, open space and woodwork will be sure to impress. After entering into the main part of the building, there is modern living room and kitchen with natural wooden flooring with a Japanese tatami room towards the back of the building. Although both rooms have a clear view of our Japanese garden, we specifically located the tatami room towards the back side next to the spectacular Japanese Garden designed by a Kyoto based professional gardener to give you a level of serenity you deserve.
On the second floor, you can clearly see the wooden frame of the original structure still remain firmly intact above two separate bedrooms, this is the essence of what Kyoto’s craftsman were trying to preserve. Rather than creating two separate tatami rooms, we have decided to craft one of the rooms in tatami and the other in natural wood to clearly expose the contrasting beauty of both. Looking outside of the window from the tatami room, you will also see the garden of one of the oldest temple in Japan.
Reikaku Yasaka is not short of modern facilities despite the fact that it is over 100 years old. With a washroom on both floors and a bathroom with direct access to the Japanese garden, this premium accommodation will fulfil your need to relax after a busy day of sightseeing in Kyoto across all seasons.

Response from the owner Thanks Liz, we are so happy to have the opportunity to share our holiday home with your family too. We took a big chance when we decided to restore this 100 year Machiya knowing there is a possibility that the restoration work may go well beyond our comprehension. To hear word of appreciate from our guests really made us feel our goal of restoring old style building in historical are of Gion is worth every minute of hard work. To ensure comfort, we have focused on having sufficient space set aside for a large kitchen and bathroom to make good use of a the space we have available. We are glad that you appreciate the location of Reikaku Yasaka, it is a amazing little spot isn't!!

Response from the owner Thank you Sherry, we are glad that you had a great memory during your stay. I personally can’t survive the winter here without heated floor, so it was important for us to ensure it is also available for our guest. This Machiya is also located in my favourite spot in Kyoto, I am extremely happy to know that you appreciate the location that I treasure as well.
