The setting is a former ryokan located on Nene-no-Michi in Higashiyama, which represents the historical landscape of Kyoto. It is adjacent to Kodaiji Temple and Yasaka Pagoda, positioned in the center of the Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings, characterized by beautiful stone pavements and traditional houses.

While inheriting the time etched into the building through its stylish exterior, aged pillars, beams, and earthen walls, it has been reborn into a modern luxury stay. Incorporating the craftsmanship of Kyoto artisans and designs that evoke the splendor of Momoyama culture with copper and peacock blue, it has been finished as a space where tradition and modernity quietly harmonize.

There are only three guest rooms. Enjoying views that monopolize the different landscapes of Higashiyama, including a garden, a cypress bath, the rooftops of Kodaiji Temple, Nene's Path, and the Yasaka Pagoda, you can spend a luxurious and private time living amidst the historic streets.

The building of the former ryokan has been transformed into three guest rooms, each over 61 square meters. On the first floor, there is a guest room for two guests equipped with a garden and a cypress bath, while the second floor offers spacious guest rooms for three to four guests, overlooking Kodaiji Temple and Yasaka Pagoda.

From a quiet stay enjoying the scenery of Higashiyama as a couple, to a trip utilizing multiple guest rooms with family and friends. We offer a free and rich Kyoto experience where you can gather in one villa while maintaining each person's privacy.

This is a quiet suite for two, facing a small garden that retains the charm of the early Showa period. Located on the first floor, the relatively flat room allows you to spend time as if detached from the outside bustle, while enjoying the greenery of the garden beyond the engawa, the rain wetting the stones, and the soft sunlight filtering through the trees.

The most notable feature is the handcrafted hinoki bath, specially designed for this guest room. When filled with water, it releases a pure scent of wood and a smooth texture that gently soothes the body and mind, weary from walking around the city. The natural colors created by tatami mats, wood, and earthen walls are complemented by the quiet elegance of copper and peacock blue designs.

In the morning, gaze at the garden bathed in soft light streaming through the engawa, and at night, immerse yourself in the lingering ambiance of the day enveloped in the scent of cypress. This room, located in the vibrant heart of Higashiyama, cherishes the tranquility facing the garden, making it perfect for couples or those traveling together in Kyoto.

A prime location overlooking the rooftops of Kodaiji Temple and the streets of Higashiyama, which are colored by the seasons. This is the most spacious suite in our hotel, accommodating up to four guests, filled with a sense of openness. Beyond the large windows, the scenery unfolds with people passing along Nene's Path, the roofs of the temples, and the landscape of Higashiyama in the background.

The spacious area, equipped with two Japanese-style rooms (one with eight tatami mats and the other with three), and a living room and bedroom that connect gently, is suitable for multi-generational families or friends traveling together. Based on the warmth of tatami and wood, it incorporates the calm luster of copper and peacock blue, translating the splendor of Momoyama culture into a modern design.

Awakening to the pure light streaming in from Higashiyama in the morning and listening closely to the temple bells at dusk, this room symbolizes Nene's retreat, where one can spend leisurely moments with family and loved ones, reflecting on the landscapes of this place once inhabited by Nene.

This is a suite for up to three guests, overlooking the Yasaka Tower, a symbol of Higashiyama, and the beautiful Nene no Michi. If you sit by the window, you can see the cherry blossoms that adorn the stone pavement in spring, the vividly colored trees in autumn, and the Five-storied Pagoda quietly standing in the background, creating a scene like a painting.

The spacious interior features the gentle textures of tatami, wood, and earthen walls, along with bamboo crafts, ceramics, and copper designs by artisans from Kyoto. The light that filters through the windows and transoms, beautifully framing the scenery, changes with the time of day, casting delicate shadows within the room.

During the day, one can admire the vibrant streets of Higashiyama, and at dusk, enjoy the sight of the Yasaka Pagoda rising against the crimson sky. Even the presence of passersby transforms into a pleasant borrowed view, allowing one to savor the landscape of Kyoto as if it were exclusively theirs, in a room unique to Nene's villa.

In the afternoon, after returning from a stroll, the lounge at Nene's Detached Villa becomes a quiet and relaxing space exclusively for our guests. Away from the hustle and bustle of Higashiyama, you can enjoy the interior design featuring copper and peacock blue, while slowly savoring the afterglow of your journey with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

A moment before heading out for dinner, or enjoying a drink after strolling through the quiet streets of Kyoto at night. In the serene atmosphere maintained by our small villa with just three rooms, please unwind and savor your own unique time in Kyoto.
