A Kyomachiya in Nishijin Murasakino

Located in the northern part of Kyoto, the Murasakino area is rich in culture and history, with landmarks like Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion) nearby.
This neighborhood is not only steeped in heritage but also convenient for daily life, offering a full range of amenities such as supermarkets, drugstores, bakeries, and cafes - all within walking or biking distance.
Though it may feel a bit far from Kyoto Station, direct bus routes provide easy access to the station and city center, making this a comfortable and well-connected place to live.

Area

Nishijin is a district known for its deep cultural roots, where traditional shops and independently-owned stores coexist with creatively renovated Machiya cafes and boutiques. The area is quietly gaining popularity among artists and creatives who are drawn to its charm and authenticity.
Despite being close to major tourist destinations such as the Golden Pavilion and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Nishijin Murasakino retains its everyday Kyoto character - a neighborhood where real life, not just sightseeing, continues to unfold.

Plan

Down a narrow lane about 50m from Teranouchi Street, you’ll find a row of beautifully preserved Machiya homes.
This particular property stands out for its bright and inviting interior. Though ground floors of traditional townhouses can often feel dark, this one benefits from a garden that lets in plenty of natural light.
Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a second home in Kyoto, or an investment rental, this home offers flexible usage options. The interior has been well cared for and is in good condition.
