Picked by the City of Kyoto as a "Building of Scenic Importance" and a "Structure Forming Historical Scenery." Njio Garden Villa is a rare and highly valuable machiya (traditional house) This historic accommodation is located within walking distance of Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in an area brimming with the charm of Kyoto’s ancient capital, lined with old merchant houses. It is said that this building once served as a rice store for sake brewers in Sawaragi-cho, a district historically known for its sake brewing. Over the years, this machiya was cherished by the local community and has been carefully renovated into a lodging facility. With its deep and layered structure extending inward from the entrance, the interior of the property offers a tranquil atmosphere, allowing guests to relax and enjoy a peaceful stay. We take great pride in maintaining this house, and we kindly ask our guests to do the same. Upon checking out, please leave the house in the same condition as when you arrived. Additionally, we kindly remind you to wash any dishes, plates, or pans that have been used during your stay. Thank you for your cooperation!
