Residence and Office in Kawaramachi-Shichijo

A three-storey house in the "Gojo Paradise" area
between the Kamo and Takase rivers

Along the Takase River from Shichijo St. to Gojo St. is an area called "Gojo Paradise" which once prospered as a "Hanamachi" (a district where geisha live and work).

Here not only you can feel the retro downtown atmosphere, but in recent years, new inns have been opened one after another along the Takase River, together with fashionable cafes and craft beer shops that gathered. Thanks to this, the area is becoming more and more convenient for guests and residents.

5 minute walk from Keihan Shichijo Station, walking distance from JR Kyoto station

The Takase River, which flows right next to the property, is a shallow but well-maintained and beautiful river. Various flowers such as cherry blossoms and hydrangeas grow along the river, where you can feel nature in each season and attract wild birds to gather in search of nature. Strolling along Kiyamachi St. while listening to the pure murmuring is popular not only with tourists but also with locals.

Despite the natural environment, it is only about a 5-minute walk to the nearest station and within walking distance to JR Kyoto Station, the gateway to Kyoto. A convenient area not only for office but also as a base for commuting and sightseeing.

  • 5 minutes walk to Keihan Railway "Shichijo Station"

PLAN間取図

On the 1st floor is a parking lot for 2 cars. Behind it is a Western-style room of about 7.5 tatami mats in size. You can make it a workspace that allows you to concentrate on work without being disturbed by your roommates. As you can see from the distinctive appearance of the living room on the 2nd floor and the Japanese-style room on the 3rd floor, there are 3 large windows in a vertical direction which creates a sense of openness. Balcony with plenty of sunlight can be used for laundry drying, and it is also a nice point to have a toilet on each floor.
How about using the 1st floor for remote work or office, and the upper floors for residential use?
