Kyoto Uji, Entire house rental "BESSHO"

Entirely private inn "BESSHO" A renovated prefabricated building on a former factory site, limited to one group per day. It is a warm space created by a woodworker who added touches little by little. The faint sound of trees, the setting sun, the silence of the mountains, the chirping of birds - a peaceful time spent with nature. Enjoy a little time away from everyday life and spend time with nature. On the forest road to the north of the inn, you can feel the footprints of the people who once cut through the mountains. Enjoy a barbecue on the adjoining terrace while admiring the seasonal nature. You can spend your time as you wish, whether it's sightseeing, a workation, mindfulness, or a stay with family and friends. ◎ Instructions for use This facility is a rustic inn that makes use of the natural environment and does not provide services by resident staff like hotels and ryokans. You may hear work noise from the woodworking shop on the premises, and there may be people and vehicles coming and going. There are also many creatures living in the surrounding area, and they may occasionally enter the building. We recommend this stay to those who can enjoy this environment.

WUZ KAMOGAWA / River View / 10 mins from Kyoto St.

With this quintessential double story historical townhouse that looks out to the Kamo River, the renovation is kept minimal in order to best preserve its authenticity, especially the courtyard where light enters. The wooden structure, partial wall, entryway, and the garden stones are some of the original elements that are conserved while the roofing tiles, wooden windows, and paper doors have since been replaced. The translucence is throughout the house we see and experience now.
