Why Choose Oozora
A quaint garden with
a grand sense of
history
The quaint charm of the garden that stretches out the back of the 100-year-old Machiya house has built up its character over a long period of time. It’s a luxury to spend a quiet moment gazing out at this lush green garden with a rich sense of history with a cup of coffee in hand.
A place where
the modern meets
the traditional
The stairwell leading to the bedroom on the second floor is covered in elegant Japanese washi paper. Look closely and you will see traditional crafts add an accent to what initially seems a purely stylish, modern design.
Guestrooms
Living room / Washitsu: Japanese tatami floor room
A garden that exudes a sense of history that comes with the rustic charm of a Kyo-Machiya house built some 100 years ago. The Japanese tatami floor room offers the chance to relax and take in views of the lush green garden that has long been adorned with seasonal color while alleviating all strain on your feet in the sunken kotatsu. Take a moment to rest on a finely crafted zaisu legless chair or Kyoto’s traditional sitting cushion as you take in the refined elegance of the Japanese tatami floor room, dotted with ornaments exhibiting the finest craftsmanship. Comfortable chairs are also conveniently located in full view of the garden on the veranda. Sit back and relax, passing the time while taking in views of the garden, coffee in hand. Such a moment spent in luxury is not to be missed.
Bedroom
We spared no expense in the pursuit of “sleeping comfort” in our bedding. The mattress atop the bed in the main bedroom is a “Simmons”. Daitou Shingu’s original 10cm thick futon is used as the futon mattress in the Japanese tatami floor room. This bedding offers the ultimate in comfort and allows easy tossing and turning, perfect for those with back pain. The top coverlet is a light, warm down quilt. Our room concierge is on hand to select the top coverlet from the thin, combination, and dual-layer quilts according to the season, ensuring you a comfortable night’s sleep all year round.
