Shimaya Stays Collection
Step into our other homes, the Komatsu Residences and the Lounge at West Kujo.
Marking the second phase of the Shimaya Stays Collection, the Lounge at West Kujo serves a dual function: as a check-in and luggage storage facility for guests staying at other Shimaya homes and as serviced accommodation for longer rentals.
This restored machiya’s proximity to Kyoto Station makes it a great base for exploring the city as well as other parts of Japan.
Shimaya Stays’ third project, the Komatsu Residences, is located about 5 minutes away on foot from the BenTen Residences.
Comprising 4 serviced apartments, this townhouse was aimed at furthering machiya design through the creation of communal spaces. The open-air chashitsu (tearoom) on the roof deck enables guests to experience traditional Japanese culture such as the Way of Tea and Noh in a private setting.
The Komatsu Residences are situated in Gion, an area convenient for restaurant- and temple-hopping as well as geisha-spotting.
