Shorter stays may be possible if there are gaps between bookings. Indigo House Gion is two level \"machiya\" style traditional townhouse, which was transformed from its abandoned and dilapidated condition into a architectural showplace, which now serves as a stylish and comfortable accommodation for travelers. The house is divided into two completely independent levels, each with its own entrance. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom on each level, so up to four persons can be accommodated on each level, for a total capacity of eight persons. Like all of our houses in Gion, this house had a long history as a very exclusive ochaya, or place of geisha entertainment. It is located just a few steps from The Gion House and Amber House Gion, on a quiet cul-de-sac street in Gion, with no through traffic. The Gion neighborhood is known for its long history as Japan's most important geisha district, where you can still find streets lined with the historic buildings for which Kyoto is known. And there is so much to see and do within walking distance. The heart of downtown is just a ten minute walk away.

It's completely independent from the Upper Level. There is enough room to accommodate two to three adults, or a couple with two children. **Please note minimum age for children is 7. The two bedrooms are both in traditional tatami mat style, and retain some very distinctive original design details such as \"tokonoma\" alcoves, woven \"ajiro\" wood detailing on the ceilings, and bamboo molding. The larger master bedroom has a high quality bed with extra-wide double mattress, while the smaller second bedroom has traditional-style sleeping on a soft double-sized futon. When entering the Lower Level, you can't helped be be overwhelmed by the interior garden, surrounded by huge walls of glass. The feeling is very modern, however, the focal point of the garden is a very old and crumbling Edo-period stone lantern. The bath area has the luxury of space. It features an extra wide shower head, with full-sized bath tub. Of course, the toilet has those high-tech functions. And of course, there is a washer/dryer for guest use. There is radiant floor heating to keep guests warm in the winter, and of course, air conditioning assures that the place stays cool in the warm season. What is distinctive about Indigo House Gion? It's bright and airy, since there are walls of glass surrounding the interior garden, which extends from the Lower Level to the Upper Level. The master bedroom has an expansive south-facing view of the inner area of Kenninji Temple, where you can see the monk's cemetery and vegetable gardens, as well as the buildings where the monks live. There's a lot of blue sky and green trees, and natural light. You can hear the sound of monks chanting their prayers early in the morning. You can also hear the enchanting sounds of crickets, cicadas, and nightingales, depending on the season.","@language":"en"}],"image":["https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/11_master_bedroom~~640f0197466d5.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/3_exterior_close-up~~640f02752def9.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/4_entryway~~640f02757201f.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/5_living__kitchen~~640f0276e3952.jpg","https://h-img2.cloudbeds.com/270611/6_antique_light_fixture~~640f027722dcd.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/7_interior_door~~640f0278b25e1.jpg","https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/8_living__interior_garden~~640f0278f059a.jpg","https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/9_geta_sandals~~640f027b16cd2.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/10_interior_garden~~640f027b7e633.jpg","https://h-img2.cloudbeds.com/270611/11_master_bedroom~~640f0280c15b7.jpg","https://h-img2.cloudbeds.com/270611/12_master_bedroom_details~~640f027de9a0c.jpg","https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/13_master_bedroom_shelf~~640f028007b4d.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/14_bath_area~~640f0281b28d7.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/15_toilet~~640f0282cf866.jpg","https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/16_bathroom_sink~~640f028347db2.jpg","https://h-img1.cloudbeds.com/270611/17_front_room~~640f02848576d.jpg","https://h-img2.cloudbeds.com/270611/18_kitchen~~640f0285143a2.jpg","https://h-img3.cloudbeds.com/270611/19_door~~640f02860c6d9.jpg"],"roomType":"private","additionalType":"PrivateRoom","amenityFeature":[{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Cable television","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Coffee maker","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Hairdryer","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Air-conditioning","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Microwave","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Wireless internet (WiFi)","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Washer/dryer","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"iron/ironing board","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Underfloor radiant heating","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Rainfall shower head","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Premium quality soap, shampoo, conditioner","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Bottled water","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Locally roasted coffee beans","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Selection of teas","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Electric kettle","@language":"en"}]}],"occupancy":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","value":4,"minValue":2,"maxValue":4,"additionalProperty":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"MaxAdults","value":0},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"MaxChildren","value":0}]}},{"@type":"HotelRoom","@id":"https://oldkyoto.cloudbeds.com/en/reservation/D80Jmi?rid=514104","name":[{"@value":"Indigo House Gion Upper Level","@language":"en"}],"description":[{"@value":"Indigo House Gion Upper Level has its own entrance.
