About the suite

An open, light-filled suite

The first floor holds an open modern living room and an oversized dining counter.

A small room beside the master bedroom on the second floor is wrapped from ceiling to floor in Japanese washi by artisan Hatano Wataru, a cocoon of soft light. A Shigaraki bathtub and a walk-in shower complete the suite.

Architecture

Designed by Uoya Shigenori

Maana Kiyomizu was designed by Kyoto architect Uoya Shigenori as a modern take on the machiya. It opened in 2023 with three suites, the Maana Living shop, and our café under one roof.

Interior

Serene, light-filled, intimate

The three suites are serene, light-filled and artfully intimate. Antiques and modern crafts live side by side, showing the aesthetics of different eras. An unexpected approach to the machiya, the suites offer comfortable seating areas, relaxation tubs, and queen beds.

Every suite has Japanese artisanal crafts from our shop Maana Living, original Japanese towels, a bath ritual set, an artisan tea set, and bath salts.
