Machiya near Gion-Shirakawa with Seasonal Scenery

At the end of the alley is Furumonzen St. which leads to the Kuromon Gate of Chionin Temple. Between Higashioji St. to the east and Hanamikoji St. to the west, you can enjoy sightseeing with stunning seasonal scenery and a Kyoto-like atmosphere in the area.
From the property, you can visit some of the most famous sightseeing spots in the Higashiyama district on foot.

Plan

The house is designed in a blend of Japanese and Western styles. One person can live comfortably with plenty of space, while two people can live with just the right size. If you place a desk in front of the Tsuboniwa garden, you will be able to work or pursue your hobbies while enjoying the view of the Japanese garden. Close to the station and the center of Kyoto City, this is recommended as a vacation house as a base for sightseeing or remote work.
