Wa-Modern Kyomachiya with a Charming Approach
A Kyomachiya in Kiyomizu-Gojo where traditional charm meets modern comfort.
Located near the world-famous Kiyomizu Temple, this fully renovated townhouse sits in a quiet street away from the busy tourist crowds. The modern interior design is perfectly suited for compact contemporary living. With a hotel business license already in place, it can also be operated as a guesthouse.
AREA
While Kiyomizu Temple needs no introduction, its approach, Kiyomizu-zaka, is lined with shops and cafes where visitors can enjoy strolling and sampling local delicacies. From Keihan Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, the city center is also within easy reach, offering both the cultural vibrancy of Kyoto and convenient urban living.
PLAN
Believed to have been built in the early Showa era, this two-story wooden Kyomachiya retains the traditional charm of its exterior and approach, while the interior has been stylishly modernized. The 2LDK layout is ideal for compact living.
Currently in operation as a guesthouse, it can continue as an accommodation business or serve as a second home for your stays in Kyoto, as well as an attractive income property.
