京都・宇治 一棟貸しの宿「BESSHO」
一棟貸切の宿「BESSHO」 廃墟となっていた工場敷地内のプレハブをリノベーションした、一日一組限定の宿。 木工職人が少しずつ手を加えてつくり上げた、温もりある空間です。 かすかに響く木の音、沈む夕日、山の静寂、鳥のさえずり──自然と共に過ごす、穏やかな時間が流れています。 日常を少し離れて、自然とともに過ごすひとときをお楽しみください。 宿の北に続く林道では、かつて山を切り開いた人々の足跡を感じられます。 併設のテラスでは、四季折々の自然を眺めながらバーベキューも楽しめます。 観光やワーケーション、マインドフルネス、家族や友人との滞在など、それぞれの“別所”として、思い思いの時間をお過ごしいただけます。 ◎ご利用にあたってのご案内 本施設はホテルや旅館のような常駐スタッフによるサービスはご用意していない自然環境を活かした素朴な宿です。 敷地内の木工所から作業音が聞こえる場合があり、関係者や車両の出入りもございます。 また周囲には多くの生き物が生息しており、まれに建物内に入り込むこともあります。 こうした環境を含めてお楽しみいただける方にご滞在をおすすめしております。

WUZ KAMOGAWA / River View / 10 mins from Kyoto St.
With this quintessential double story historical townhouse that looks out to the Kamo River, the renovation is kept minimal in order to best preserve its authenticity, especially the courtyard where light enters. The wooden structure, partial wall, entryway, and the garden stones are some of the original elements that are conserved while the roofing tiles, wooden windows, and paper doors have since been replaced. The translucence is throughout the house we see and experience now.
