About Unoan

You can rent the whole house for more than one day, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Kyoto machiya are the traditional residences of Kyoto merchants. Normally their front business area has a long hallway that leads to the kitchen and eventually to the small garden. The outside of the buildings are covered with white lime plaster that has slit windows.The area of the house, Mitsumori used to be called Izumidono, which is a name of a famous leader of samurai, Taira no Kiyomori. This means that Unoan is built on the site of his residence.
