A traditional machiya townhouse over 120 years old is located just north of Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Here, six renovated townhouses stand side by side in a quiet residential area once known as the residence of the Emperor’s female court during the Heian Period. Higashi-no-Tai is one of these special houses, where guests can feel the depth of history and enjoy a truly unique Kyoto stay.
The owner of these six houses is Yamanaka Abura, a renowned oil shop founded over 200 years ago and well known throughout Kyoto. Their original shop is located nearby, where visitors can purchase their famous high-quality oils, cherished by locals for generations.
