Sleep in a ‘Machiya’ in Kyoto
This former merchant house offers travellers a chic, timeless space with a private garden, in the heart of the city.

Don’t be deceived by the façade, which looks more like that of a corner shop than luxury accommodation. Located in Kyoto, close to Nijo Castle, the imperial palace, and the popular Nishiki Market, A day in khaki is indeed a luxury guesthouse.
Behind the door of this former machiya (Japanese merchant house), now fully renovated, lies an exceptional place that’s in complete harmony with nature. Large bay windows let the sun through, there is greenery everywhere, and the decor is simple and clean.
More information on A day in khaki can be found on the guesthouse’s website.
