- A petite one-story Kyo-machiya that sits in a quiet alley south of Daitokuji Temple.
- The property is in an area called Murasakino where many interesting shops have opened in recent years. The size of the house is just right for 1 person, but you can also use it as a second house in Kyoto.
This Kyo-machiya locates at the very end of the alley.
On the left-hand side of the entrance is a 4.5 mats Tatami room.
There is a roof window on top of the kitchen which brightens up the house.
