Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St. Hotel
Bomoncho, Shimogyo, Kyoto
Vibe
Passing through reception reveals a private cobblestone alley lit by paper lanterns, recreating the nocturnal charm of a historic Kyoto street.
“Restored machiya bolthole”
Preserved Meiji-era kyomachiya townhouses over a century old, salvaged and restored along a historic cobblestone alley.
A restored Meiji-era alleyway transformed into a lantern-lit enclave of twenty-three bi-level wooden machiya townhouses.
Immersive machiya living featuring traditional dashi chazuke breakfasts, regional craft exhibitions, and evening sake tastings.
In Shimogyo near Shijo Omiya, steps from Mibudera Temple and a short walk from Omiya Station.
Rooms
Each bi-level wooden townhouse pairs tatami living quarters with a private semi-open-air bath tucked into an enclosed ground-floor terrace.
Wellness
Spa therapists deliver custom stretch massages directly to your tatami room, complementing slow soaks in your private semi-open-air bath.
Backstory
Nazuna and Kiraku rescued a decaying Meiji-era alleyway from demolition, carefully restoring the century-old cluster into an enclosed private enclave.
Eat & drink
Dinner unfolds across multi-course wagyu beef kaiseki at Wagyu Ryotei bungo, followed by morning bowls of dashi chazuke in the lounge.
The neighborhood
Tucked into residential Shimogyo, the quiet lanes around Mibudera Temple offer a peaceful contrast to bustling Shijo Omiya a short walk away.
