Amazing historic property near Gion. I can’t imagine getting something better for the rate we have paid. Very clean, beds are super comfortable, nice Onsen in a restored machiya. Excellent communication with the owner, who always responded to my inquiries within minutes. What more can you ask for? I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Book this one!

Reikaku Yasaka was a building in ruins with floor on the left and right hand side of the building tilted by at least 30cm when we discovered this hidden jewel. Prior to the formal restoration of Reikaku in 2017, there was number of large scale renovation of the property carried out by the previous owner in the 80s when this Machiya was extended all the way to the street to allow for construction of modern squared shape house that maximized the indoor space. Restoration was particularly difficult due to the state it was in but our craftsman’s determination to bring this Machiya back to its formal glory paid off for Reikaku Yasaka.
The story of Reikaku began after our family had the opportunity to live overseas for a number of years. Similar to most other Japanese residing overseas, the experience has reinforced our love for the way of life in Japan and reminds us of how under appreciative we were whilst we were living in Tokyo. Over the years, we have found ourselves spending more and more of our holiday breaks returning to Japan and this allowed us the opportunity to venture out of the Tokyo Metropolitan area and into Kyoto where we began to appreciate the immaculate beauty as well as depth of tradition and culture in Japan.
Reikaku Yasaka is located in one of the best residential locations in Kyoto. It is named as such because it is only few steps to Yasaka Dori where one of the most famous Pagodas in Kyoto (commonly known as Yasaka Tower) from Hokanji Temple is clearly visible. In the vicinity, there are number of high-end restaurants that have been awarded Michelin Stars with atmosphere that is one and only in Kyoto. In addition, a casual walk around the area will get you to the world heritage Kiyomizu temple, Kodaiji Temple, Kenninji, Gion, modern department stores and traditional boutique stores.
