History of the location
Stay near the former Heian Palace
Kyoto has never had just one permanent centre. Its political, residential, commercial, cultural, and transport centres shifted over time.
Demizu-Machiya is a separate private townhouse from the six-house Heian Palace group, set within the same wider historical landscape of Kamigyo.
