A former private guesthouse, thoughtfully transformed into an exclusive villa for one group per day.
CONCEPT
A former state guesthouse transformed into an exclusive-use villa for one group per day. SOSHIJI ARASHIYAMA is a renovated Western-style mansion located at the foot of Matsunoo Taisha Shrine. Originally built as the residence of a trading company president and a guesthouse for international visitors, the property still retains its original architectural heritage. The entrance, corridors, and high ceilings showcase a grand residential scale distinct from standard accommodations.
