Steps from Higashiyama Station

This traditional Kyomachiya townhouse is located just a 2-minute walk from the subway Tozai-line Higashiyama Station.

Location on the north side of Chionin Temple, slightly north of the intersection of Sanjo Street and Higashioji Street, Kyoto landmarks such as Heian Shrine and ROHM Theatre Kyoto are within walk-in distance. This is also a district filled with local eateries and small shops, giving it a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
With convenient access to both the subway and city buses, the location offers smooth connections to Kyoto’s major sightseeing attractions.

Currently operating as a guesthouse, the property is ready to continue functioning as an accommodation business. It also holds excellent potential as a second home or investment property.

Whether as a residence or for other uses, the property offers great flexibility to suit various lifestyles and purposes.

PLAN

The exterior showcases classic Kyoto charm with a refined, traditional appearance that blends beautifully with the historic streetscape.

The interior was renovated in January 2025 - including a newly installed kitchen, new wall coverings, and a new air conditioning system - creating a comfortable, move-in-ready space.

Fully furnished, the property is already being operated as a guesthouse. A place well-prepared for continued use as an income-generating rental, or as a base for sightseeing for owners seeking a second home in Kyoto.

※To continue operations as a guesthouse, the new owner will need to reapply for an inn business license under their name.

AREA

Situated near the cultural and historical heart of Kyoto, the property is close to Shirakawa Canal, a scenic walking path popular with both locals and tourists. The surrounding Higashiyama area offers a rare blend of natural beauty, with lush greenery and remnants of Kyoto’s unspoiled past, perfect for those who wish to savor quiet moments while reflecting on the city’s deep history.

The neighborhood is dotted with charming shops and cafes housed in old townhouses, preserving the atmosphere of old Kyoto. Within a short walking distance are famous sites such as Heian Shrine and Nanzenji Temple, making it a popular area for both visitors and residents.

While preserving its historical and cultural essence, the area also embraces modern attractions such as the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art (renovated and reopened in 2020) and fine dining restaurants like LURRA°, known for its refined interior design and innovative cuisine. This district seamlessly blends the old and the new, offering a unique and fascinating experience.
