Shouan, the Kyoto Machiya inn

Shouan, the Kyoto Machiya inn Located on the North side of Nijo Castle, Shouan, a traditional Kyoto Machiya has been reborn as a Bed & Breakfast.

西陣の最南端、二条城の北側約150メートルのところに、築120年の京町家が小さな宿として蘇りました。京都の旅のひとときを、ゆったりとした時間と共に松庵でお過ごしください。

SHOUAN the family home of the innkeeper, built around 120 years ago. It was restored as a Machiya with its original tsushinikai architectural design through the cooperation of the Kyoto Machiya Construction Group (a general incorporated association whose purpose is to preserve and renovate Machiya).Kyoto Machiya

townhouses are one of Kyoto’s cultural treasures, but there are fewer and fewer remaining each year. In recent years, many people have finally recognized the importance of maintaining and passing down these homes. The exterior features of Shouan include degoushi (projecting lattice windows) on the first story and mushikomado (ultrafine lattice windows) on the second story, as well as a passageway through the house with a hibukuro (atrium) overhead. Because Shouan was refurbished for use as an inn, we no longer have the traditional sink or stove. However, the Oku-no-ma room on the first floor faces our inner garden, where we have cultivated plums, camellias, and hydrangeas, alongside a pine tree that is the center of the garden and the source of the inn’s name (shou means ‘pine tree’). This pine tree originally sprouted on the roof of the main hall of Kitano-Tenmangu Shrine, around 60 years ago, and was later bestowed to us. The pine tree was named 「Shougetsu」by Kitano-Tenmangu Shrine. Shouan is in a very convenient location for guests to visit tourist attractions. Shouan is walking distance from both Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. You can visit many other popular tourist spots by Kyoto City Bus, with no transfers needed. Durante la permanenza intendiamo offrirvi uno spazio al di fuori del movimento e della confusione cittadina,un 'esperienza nell'antica tradizione culturale della casa giapponese. SHOUAN è una casa-locanda, costruita circa 120 anni fa. Con la collaborazione della Construction Group Kyoto Machiya (associazione il cui scopo è quello di preservare e rinnovare Machiya)è stato restaurato mantenendo il suo originale design architettonico tsushinikai. Le Machiya, antiche case di Kyoto rappresentano uno dei tesori culturali della città,ma purtroppo il numero diminuisce con il passare degli anni. Negli ultimi anni, molte persone hanno finalmente riconosciuto l'importanza di mantenere e tramandare queste case. Le caratteristiche esterne di Shouan includono sia degoushi (finestre sporgenti a reticolo)al primo piano e mushikomado (finestre ultrafine reticolo) al secondo piano, così come hibukuro (atrio) un passaggio attraverso la casa . La camera Oku-no-ma al primo piano si affaccia il nostro giardino interno, coltivato con prugne, camelie, e ortensie, accanto a un albero di pino al centro del giardino(fonte del nome della locanda shou 'pino'). Questo albero di pino originariamente germogliato sul tetto della sala principale di Kitano-Tenmangu Shrine, circa 60 anni fa,ci fu poi donato a. Il pino è stato chiamato 「Shougetsu」 da Kitano-Tenmangu Shrine. Shouan è in una posizione molto comoda per visitare tutte le attrazioni turistiche di Tokyo dal Castello di Nijo al il Palazzo Imperiale di Kyoto. È possibile visitare molte altre popolari mete turistiche tramite al comodo accesso ai bus di linea.

It has been a while since our last facebook update and we would like share some pictures with you. 🙂

The natural materials used in traditional townhouses work very well with light and create a unique cozy atmosphere. Why not stay at a machiya the next time you visit Kyoto?

Facebookのアップデートはお久しびりですね。この度松庵で撮れた写真を皆様に見せたいと思います。
京町家の木造建築と光が合わせて、素敵な雰囲気を作っています。
次の京都旅行の時には、町家に泊まるのがいかがでしょうか。

A wonderful birthday trip!
We already miss these super guests from Hong Kong.
They already know Kyoto, being this their 3rd time here.
So they choose Shouan as it is in a quiet place and traditional building and enjoyed the cities like genuine Kyoto people.
For example they paid a visit to the nearby Mikane jinja, explored little cafes and met friends after long time.
We hope you made good memories of this trip and we wish you a very happy birthday!
Thank you for coming and see you next time!!

Very friendly gentleman from Belgium, leaving in Singapore!
He already knows Kyoto, so enjoyed the neighborhood and also woke up very early to join a prayer in a temple nearby (right?).
His favorite walk: the Daitokuji area, very quiet and relaxing!
