Company information

A Travel-Loving Host with a Global Perspective and a Deep Respect for Tradition Our guesthouse is managed by a passionate traveler with extensive experience in the interior design industry and a unique global perspective for a Japanese host. Having lived and worked in countries such as Australia and across Asia — and with a background as a tour conductor — the host brings a deep understanding of both Japanese culture and international hospitality. An avid hiker who treks the Northern Alps nearly every year, the host also operates one of the oldest traditional Machiya-style inns in Kyoto. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Sanpō-Yoshi — “good for the buyer, good for the seller, and good for society” — the inn is managed not only with care for travelers, but also with respect for the local community and environment.

Ideal for those seeking to connect with the spirit of Japan, our home blends classic wooden design with modern comfort.
