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 Indigo House Gion and Amber House Gion, on a quiet side street with very little 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.

The Gion House is just five minutes' walk from Hanamikoji Street, one of the most traditional and preserved sections of Kyoto, where you can find old \"machiya\" style wooden houses in abundance. You can also find geishas scurrying down the alleyways on their way to work in the evenings. Our property borders the expansive grounds of the Kenninji Temple, Kyoto's oldest Zen temple. Our properties Amber House Gion and Indigo House Gion, as well as our office, are all within 50 meters distance. Our English-speaking staff is nearby to help with any needs you may have during your stay. The house was been the subject of attention by international media. It was shown on American TV channel HGTV's series 'You Live in What?,' as well as on CNN International's 'On The Road.' The house has been shown in FT (Financial Times), three architecture/interior-related magazines, and on several TV programs in Japan. The Gion House was selected by Lonely Planet Japan's author Chris Rowthorn as the 'Best Vacation Rental in Kyoto.'
