🏮A century-old former Gion teahouse taking just one group a day

Kyoto · Ryokan Fukuya

1

A machiya with teahouse roots

• 🏯Built in 1927, the building is nearly 100 years old and began life as an ochaya teahouse for maiko and geiko.
• 📜It opened as a ryokan in 1967 and has welcomed travelers from across Japan in its current form since 1980.
• 🏡Unlike renovated whole-house rentals, the original building remains intact, and the landlady's homely hospitality is the draw.

Tatami rooms dressed for the season

• 🛏️There are two rooms: tatami rooms on the second floor and a garden-side room on the first.
• 🍃Rooms are dressed with summer furnishings in the warm months and kotatsu tables in winter.
• 👨‍👩‍👧Since only one group stays per day, families can ask about using both rooms together.

Ground-floor room facing the courtyard

• 🌿This room looks onto the tsuboniwa, the small inner courtyard garden typical of Kyoto townhouses.

• 🍵Breakfast is also served in a room with a view of this garden.

Freshly made Kyoto breakfast

• 🍳Breakfast features Kyoto obanzai home-style dishes made with seasonal vegetables and served freshly cooked.
• 🐟Enjoying warm handmade dishes while gazing at the garden is the inn's pride.
