Discover Old Kyoto...

Four exquisite “machiya” houses, three of them located steps away from each other in a quiet residential enclave in the central geisha district of Gion, and the other a  10 minute walk away. All are architectural gems.  Built over 100 years ago, yet surprisingly stylish and modern.
