Follow the narrow alley, and charred cedar walls, dark and weathered, come into view.Beyond the entrance is an earthen floored dining area, softly lit by a single washi paper lamp.Amber colored reed shutters and black beams frame the courtyard garden beyond.The first floor holds a tatami bedroom with a double bed, while the second floor offers an attic like loft with futon bedding.As a whole house rental, it's the perfect space to relax freely, whether with family or as a couple.True to its name, "Washi no Yado," Kyoto nights quietly deepen amid the shadows woven by paper lanterns.

The star of this inn is its small courtyard garden. A single slender tree rises gracefully between moss and ornamental stones. Whether from the dining area or the bath, greenery is always gently swaying somewhere in view. This silent scenery lends a quiet pause to conversation. Time flows so peacefully here that you may forget you're in the heart of Kyoto.
