About Wachigai
Like when you come back home,Wachigai is the place where you enjoy peaceful and soothing moment away from daily busy days.
This transitional house, built with typical Kyofu-Machiya (type of architecture design developed in Kyoto) in Edo period, keeps the good old-days ambiance.
The name “Wachigai” is taken after the Yago, the traditional name of the house.
We are really glad to bring passion and excitement back to this house after long absence of people, and to create new life along with tradition, and to you, who come from far away.
When you want to take a rest, please come and feel relax in this warm atmosphere and enjoy the fine local cuisine.
