A Home within Minutes of the Kamo River
A Well-Balanced Layout
With 4DK, the home is neither too large nor too small - just the right size. Featuring a dining-kitchen and 4 rooms, it offers a comfortable layout for 2 people or for a family. Each room can flexibly adapt to changing lifestyles, serving as a child’s bedroom, home office, or hobby space.
Ample Attic Storage
Though a two-story house, a ladder leads up to an attic storage area. With about 6.8 Tatami mats of space - roughly the size of an additional room - it’s ideal for storing bulky items such as Futons, clothing, or books. Even with plenty of belongings, the generous storage capacity offers peace of mind.
Area
Koyama in Kita Ward combines convenience and tranquility. Within walking distance of the subway, the area is also close to the scenic Kamo River and the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Gardens, offering nature and calm in everyday life.
While primarily residential and not dense with shops, the area is dotted with unique, carefully curated stores, often choosing this location for its serene setting near the river and gardens rather than the bustle of the city center.
The house is just a 6-minute walk from Kuramaguchi Station and about 8 minutes from Kitaoji Station, making it an excellent choice not only as a primary residence but also as a second home.
The Kamo River flows gently through Kyoto’s cityscape. Step onto its riverbanks, sweeping views of flowing water and distant Mt. Hiei unfold before you. In spring, the area is renowned for its cherry blossoms, drawing visitors from all over Japan to witness the endless line of blooms along the river.
Shimei Seseragi Park, famous for the golden autumn leaves of its Ginkgo trees, stretches along the central divider of Shimei Street. With walkways and a small stream lined with benches, it offers a pleasant space for strolls, quiet breaks, or simply enjoying the seasonal scenery.
Plan
A layout well-suited for couples or families, with natural light streaming in through the west-facing entrance and windows to create a bright, comfortable interior. Each room includes storage, complemented by the attic space that’s the size of a whole room, perfect for keeping belongings organized.
On the 1st floor, the dining-kitchen and Japanese-style room can be enjoyed as is, or transformed into a spacious open-plan living and dining area by removing walls and doors, allowing the home to evolve along with your lifestyle.
