"A private onsen every night after walking all day in Kyoto is an invaluable amenity."
Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St occupies a renovated L-shaped alleyway of authentic machiya, covering 1,400 sqm and dating back over 110 years. Positioned on a modest street, the reception building serves as an entrance, seamlessly ushering guests from the outside world into a nostalgic Kyoto street view. At dusk, Tsubaki St comes alive with the soft glow of chochin lanterns illuminating the stone-cobbled path.
Rooms
The hotel offers 23 individual guest rooms, each with a private semi open-air bath and themed decor based on elements of nature. Rooms such as TAKE and MIZU feature spacious living areas on the first floor and comfortable bedrooms on the second. Deluxe options like IWA, HANA, and HA include tatami spaces for additional guests and further embody the connection to Kyoto's natural beauty.
Dining
Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St provides a culinary experience rooted in local culture. Guests can savor dashi chazuke with seasonal flavors and rice sourced from Kome-Ryotei Hachidaime Gihey, established during the Edo period.

Cultural Experiences
The hotel offers a variety of activities to engage with Japan's rich cultural heritage during the stay. Guests can explore Central Kyoto, which is home to historic sites like the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. This area harmonizes ancient traditions with modern attractions, providing plenty of opportunities for exploration.
Wellness
The semi open-air baths in each room offer a relaxing retreat, allowing guests to soak while surrounded by elements inspired by nature. This unique aspect of the ryokan enhances the overall experience of tranquility and rejuvenation.

“Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St. reimagines Kyoto's past, offering a luxurious and intimate experience within refurbished machiya townhouses; the echoes of old Kyoto meet modern comfort. Each room provides a serene escape, complete with private, semi-open-air baths and personalized service, a treat in themselves.
