Why Choose Oozora
A special time spent in an
open space that is typical of
a traditional weaver’s house
A space that stretches out before your eyes in a manner resembling that of a weaver’s house. The magnificent 100-year-old beams propping up the Machiya house give off a real sense of history. The sense of serene calm with a grassy green motif combines with the exquisite craftsmanship on display in the Kumiko woodwork and Kyoto’s traditional Karakami paperwork to draw you in.
A dignified Zen rock
garden with a very
Kyoto-esque aesthetic
The Zen rock garden expresses a natural scenic landscape. The vegetation changing color with the season and the bamboo swaying in the wind afford an even richer sense of quietude. Why not spend a tranquil moment gazing out at the silhouettes and contours formed with the garden lit up at night?
Guestrooms

The magnificent Zen rock garden that extends out from the open space has trees that change appearance with seasons such as a symbolic huge Japanese maple and plum blossoms. The raised tatami-floored area is fitted out with a traditional Kumiko framework of exquisite quality, giving it a special feeling. The large sofa and dining table offers plenty of room to sit down and relax. Reward yourself with an unparalleled experience while relaxing with a cup of coffee in hand.
Bedrooms
We spared no expense in the pursuit of “sleeping comfort” in our bedding. The mattress atop the bed is a “Simmons”. The main bedroom is fitted with semi-double beds for maximum comfort, while single-size beds are provided in the bedroom on the first floor. Daitou Shingu’s original 10cm thick futon is used as the futon mattress. 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.
