What is Tsumugi Inn?

We offer a private house located in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, that was renovated into a Kyoto-style townhouse called Kyo-Machiya for guests from abroad or in Japan as a Vacation Rental House.

Is it different from a Japanese-style inn or a hotel?

As the whole house is rented for 25,000 yen per night to accommodate up to 5 persons, you can use it according to your needs at a reasonable price. Spend time with your family, friends, or on business trips as if you lived in Kyoto. This house is available for staying for one night or more.
