The perfect place to experience the traditional Japanese way of life. The rooms are tatami-matted, with futon bedding. The guests rent a cotton YUKATA to use as a bathrobe and nightwear, and in winter a thick HANTEN quilted jacket.
The entrance and kitchen area has a hard earthen floor called a DOMA, where footwear was taken off. It is an aspect of the Japanese inside/ outside concept. The entrance located in between functions as a kind of purifier of everybody entering.
Historical Architecture
The desktop is a sacred space. Low traditional desks called FUZUKUE are used in tatami rooms. Writing and reading were regarded not just as study, but a way to discipline ourselves. We are expected to keep a proper sitting posture.
The guest could graspe the elegance of rustic and subdued simplicity, and discover in it new qualities. It is a kind of combination of simplicity, patina, moderation, and slight but deliberate imperfection.
Charming Traditional Buildings and Artwork
客室
Room Types
The smallest unit of Japan
Every Hostel HARUYA have Japanese-Style Economy Twin Room. The width of the room is only 6㎡. This is the smallest room of Japan. Like a tea-ceremony room in the architecture, like a 31-syllable Japanese poem in the literature, Noh and a Noh comedy in the theatrical art, a Japanese sense of beauty was whetted in the limitation. In this little time, space, brightness, the limited life is emphasized.
Renovated 100-year-old traditional wooden townhouse called "Machiya"
施設案内
Facilities
Invite you to unforgettable ambience, with its centuries of history, culture, and tradition.
Traditional Merchant Buildings in Kyoto
"Machiya" is a traditional wooden architecture style that could be seen in central Kyoto. The front windows are covered by wooden lattices and there are Japanese courtyards in the middle.
There is the bad point that a sound and a voice are easy to echo, but you could enjoy small birdsong and sound of rain like music. We escort you to pleasant time with traditional artwork of Kyoto since you entered the building.
Three unique lounges
The standard facilities are minimum, but free facilities are substantial for the enjoyable trip. We wish you enjoy Kyoto more. There are three lounges in four adjacent buildings.
"Japanese lounge" in which we could enjoy changing the shape of shadow. There is a free PC. Please use it to plan the tomorrow's sightseeing with a family or the friend.
Japanese lounge／Library／Garden lounge
There are approximately 800 books in 24 hours available "Library". The books about a temple and Buddhism, industrial arts, design, a tea ceremony, a flower, a collection of valuable photographs are prepared for you.
At "the garden lounge" from which we could enjoy a mossed Japanese garden, there are free coffee and tea. Please enjoy the interchange with the tourist who can come from all over the world.
