Unrenovated Kyomachiya facing Marutamachi Street

Northwest of Nijo Castle, 11-minute walk from Subway Nijo Station

This property stands near the busy intersection of Senbon and Marutamachi Streets - known locally as “Senmaru”. Historically, this very area was once the heart of Heian-kyo, home to the imperial palace grounds (Daidairi).
While the city has evolved over time, just stepping off the main road reveals backstreets filled with the nostalgic charm of Kyoto’s old downtown.

AREA

With frequent city buses running along Senbon and Marutamachi Streets, commuting to the city center by bicycle is also practical from this location.
Nearby you'll find numerous Kyoto landmarks such as Nijo Castle, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Senbon Shakado, and Senbon-Enmado (Injoji) Temple.
The blend of convenience and historical richness makes this a uniquely attractive area.

PLAN

This unrenovated Kyomachiya sits on a corner lot facing Marutamachi Street.
With a generous number of rooms and overall floor space, it's well suited for dual-purpose use. For example, one side could be renovated into a cafe, while the other could serve as a shop, office, or even living space.
While renovations are needed, the home retains many original materials and architectural elements. With thoughtful design, these can be preserved and revitalized, offering a character and value that only timeworn structures can provide.
