Main House 1F and exterior

A symbolic Himalayan cedar stands in front of the entrance, and you can experience nature surrounded by yuzu, Japanese pepper, plum, cherry, maple, and pine trees. One of its greatest charm is the cool breeze that flows down from Mt. Uryu during the summer.

Main House 2F

Each room has been carefully renovated while preserving the original materials as much as possible and making the most of its design. Even areas that are prone to damage, such as the ceilings of the Tatami rooms, have been repaired using the same materials and construction methods as the originals. In addition, the presence of the reception Western-style room and the parquet-floored corridor, which retain the atmosphere of a prewar Japanese Western-style building, is also attractive.

Additional House (Atelier, guest room, tea-ceremony room, etc.)

The detached building, which has a wonderful view of the forest from the window, is located one step higher than the main house and is ideal for the guest rooms. The tea room, which is essential for understanding Japanese life and culture, has also been perfectly reproduced there. Meanwhile, the kitchens, washrooms, and other water facilities in each building have been meticulously equipped. The modern equipment and devices have been introduced, but they have been carefully incorporated so that they blend in well with the traditional wooden house.

Ichijyo-ji area

Ichijo-ji, where Matsuhara is located, was originally the name of an ancient temple that was abandoned in the Middle Ages, and is now the name of a region in the northeast of Kyoto city. The western plains side is a commercial district filled with unique shops selling books, miscellaneous goods, ramen, etc., while the eastern foothills side is a natural and cultural district with many temples and traditional houses, and has become an especially popular area in recent years.
