京宿家:紫野しおん庵 - A Renovated Machiya Guesthouse in Kyoto
This property, known as 紫野しおん庵 (Murasakino Shion-an), is a renovated Kyoto townhouse (machiya) that was opened in 2011 as the 6th property under the '京宿家' (Kyoto Yado-ya) brand. It was originally owned and repurposed as a guesthouse, with a capacity of 10 guests, making it a large-scale machiya lodging. The property underwent a renovation (改装) to transform it into a high-quality guesthouse space. The listing highlights the property as a '京宿家' (Kyoto lodging house) and includes both before (ビフォー) and after (アフター) renovation photos, showcasing the transformation. The property is located in the Murasakino area of Kyoto, a district known for its traditional atmosphere and proximity to cultural sites such as Daitoku-ji Temple and Kinkaku-ji Temple. The renovation was completed in 2011 (平成23年).
