'Tsuboniwa'Garden A'tsuboniwa' garden was essential for traditional townhouse homes. As houses in Kyoto were built close together (often sharing a wall or even a roof), the 'tsuboniwa' garden played an essential role in providing a fresh breeze & natural light through the house. Lounge around on the 'engawa' wood deck, and admire the garden throughout the 4 seasons.
Now transformed into a dining room, this space was known formerly as a 'doma'.
