A place that can be walked from both Kyoto's most downtown area, the Shijo area, and Kyoto's gateway, Kyoto Station.

The Kyomachiya introduced this time is located just north of Shosei-en Garden, a scenic spot in the Japanese garden also known as "Kikokutei", in the precincts of Higashi Honganji Temple. It is also located in an area once called "Gojo Rakuen" (Gojo Paradise).

A little away from the hustle and bustle of the busy downtown district, the neighborhood of the property is mainly residents of locals and parks, making it a place where you can feel closer to a community-based lifestyle.

The Unknown Kyoto, “Gojo Paradise” neighborhood

Right next to the Kamo River, this is a location with abundant nature where you can hear the murmuring of the Takase River. It is a town that retains the good old appearance of maze-like narrow alleys. You can live close to the beautiful four seasons with rows of cherry blossom trees in spring, fireflies in summer, and red foliage in autumn.

When you walk around the region, you can still see the cafe architecture with tiles and glass windows and the teahouse architecture with a splendid "Karahafu-style" (a type of gable with an undulating bargeboard), creating a retro and nostalgic atmosphere.

Two Kyomachiya houses standing stately at the south of Gojo St. and Tominokoji St.
You can access Osaka directly by the Keihan line that runs north and south along the Kamo River.
Gojo station of the Karasuma subway line is also nearby, which is just one stop to Kyoto station!
It is a convenient location for commuting to school and work.

Convenient shopping spots such as a 24-hour supermarket "Fresco "and a drug store can be found within walking distance.
Kamo River, a daily walk and running course; Kyoto National Museum, which holds many national treasures and important cultural properties; Sanjusangendo, a temple which houses a thousand of Senju-Kannon statues; Kiyomizu Temple, which is famous as a tourist destination...This is a place where you can closely feel the culture of Kyoto.

Not only cultural properties are dotted around the property, but also new stores with rich individuality are opening one after another, such as "Umeyu Sauna" that sparks the boom of youth public baths; "Walden Woods Kyoto", a sophisticated cafe with a white appearance; "Gojo Mall", a complex shopping facility of Kyomachiyas where restaurants, shops, and art spaces are gathered, etc. It is a hot spot where all the shops are produced with particular attention by their owners.

Inside the building, historical design features such as Showa retro glasses, Okudo-san (kitchen hearth), Tori-niwa (earthen floor corridor), and wooden handrail are saved as they are.
Since the building has been worn out with age, repair works are needed before moving in. However, a quaint Kyoto-style place can be expected if it is renovated while leaving the nice design as it is.
Taking advantage of its divided two-building structure and its large site, you can consider it not only for residential use, but also as your home with a workplace, a second house for sightseeing, or a recreational facility for a company.
