A wooden machiya on a quiet residential block of Oimatsucho in Kamigyo-ku, on the grid of small streets west of Senbon-dori where the city-bus network does most of the work and JR Enmachi is the nearest rail. You take the whole house: two bedrooms with two beds, room for up to four guests, one bathroom and a full kitchen. The kitchen runs on an induction stove and comes with a refrigerator, microwave, rice maker, Nespresso machine, wine glasses and a dining table, with a dedicated workspace set aside for anyone working from the house. A free washer and dryer are on site, the private backyard is fully fenced, and wifi, air conditioning and heating run throughout. Licensed under the Housing Accommodation Business Act (notification no. M260038935), the house runs as a nightly guesthouse and is also taken, furnished, for stays of one month or more on a fixed-term lease.
