Theatre and Library Residence -Kyoto Murasakino-

Outstanding host and great experience during our stay in a traditional wood frame home in Kyoto!

Un posto magico - A magical place...

Stile giapponese, design e concept molto interessanti: raffinata reinterpretazione delle magiche atmosfere tradizionali. L'appartamento include una cucina attrezzata per ogni menu. Dalla vasca da bagno si può contemplare un giardino giapponese. Sala per la cerimonia del tè, libreria, schermo con proiettore per vedere i film della collezione (anche Ozu e Kurosawa). C'è una stanza dedicata ai bambini e a tutta la famiglia: originale e divertente. Staff di grande simpatia e gentilezza, che guida alla scoperta del luogo e offre preziosi consigli. Raccomando questo Residence dal fascino profondo e misterioso, spazio d'incontro fra l'antico e il moderno. Wonderful Japanese-style Residence, a great chance to learn more about Japanese culture: very original concept & design, a refined reinterpretation of the traditional magical atmospheres. The apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen for every kind of menu. It's possible to take a bath while looking at the small Japanese garden outside the window; read and drink green tea in the rool for tea cerimony. Movie screen with a collection of movies (such as Ozu & Kurosawa). And a very special funny room for children and the whole family. A very kind staff friendly guides to the discovery of the site and provides precious advices. I highly recommend this Residence of deep and mysterious charm, melting pot of ancient & modern culture, with joyful and grateful feeling.

the director of the residence came to pick us up at the train station, and welcomed us with great efforts, he explained everything in details, helped us booked a restaurant, kimono rental and a lesson with instructor, the residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, you can really feel how the japanese live and their culture style, the house is well decorated with modernized design and authentic structure of the traditional kyoto style house, it's nicely done, the owner tatsuya is also a graphic designer and antique dealer, you can totally see his sense of style throughout the residence, we've also stayed at another residence at imagumano, it's two size bigger than this residence, and three full rooms to stay, this residence is good for a small family of probably three to four, the one in imagumano would fit a bigger family or friends to up to six people comfortably, https://uk.hotels.com/ho580358/?pa=1&tab=description&q-room-0-adults=2&YGF=14&MGT=1&WOE=1&WOD=7&ZSX=1&SYE=3&q-room-0-children=0 i highly recommend this place if you are in the art, design, fashion, culture industry and you wanna have a different experience in kyoto japan, this is definitely the place to stay. I hope you'll find this place as interesting as i did.

Japanese designed masterpiece

This town house in a very traditional Japanese area has been designed in a very traditional and beautiful way where every detail has been meticulously thought through. I loved it and would say it's one of the best places to stay worldwide.

Had an extraordinary stay. The design of the house is amazing and we really enjoyed the real Japanese/Kyoto experience. Our host went out of his way to facilitate our stay and even arranged breakfast, Japanese dinner and a tea ceremony. Thanks again, we had a great time
