The name holds two meanings at once. In English, and on — to continue, to carry forward. In Japanese, andon (行灯) — the paper lantern that burns quietly through the night.
On the Monju channel, 6 minutes on foot from Amanohashidate Station, a house more than a century old is being restored beside a newly built main house. Two buildings, one stay — for families who would rather settle into Kyoto than pass through it.
A restored annex of more than a hundred years, and a new main house built beside it. The whole property is yours, for up to 8 guests.
From 3 nights. Long enough to unpack, cook, learn the walk to the water, and let the days find their own pace.
Kojima-an lanterns, Tango chirimen silk, timber from the surrounding hills — and solar power, quietly doing its part.
Self check-in by smart lock, so you arrive on your own schedule — after a late train, or a long day out on the peninsula. No front desk, no waiting. Your host is a message away whenever you need one.
We will write once when reservations open, and not often otherwise.
