About Nishijin Fujita

Nishijin Fujita is an inn that forms the eastern part of the Fujita Residence, a traditional townhouse designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan. The townhouse was built in the early Meiji era (1868-1912), at the site of the residence of Yamana Sozen, a warlord who commanded the Western Army during the Onin War (1467-1477). Although having been renovated several times, the house still features architectural characteristics typical in those days, such as mushikomado (lattice windows for ventilation and lighting built into painted walls) and bare wood lattice windows.

Although located in Kyoto’s downtown area, the inn offers guests a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The traditional townhouse structure allows you to enjoy the scenic view of the garden from tatami rooms. The living-dining room is bright with sunlight coming in through the large windows. It is fully equipped with modern facilities, helping to make your stay a comfortable one.

Catered meals are available upon request. We can also introduce you to a wide variety of restaurants including ryotei (authentic Japanese-style restaurants with private rooms) and kappo (homey Japanese-style restaurants). Please take your time and enjoy your meal in a relaxing atmosphere.
