My Base in Kyoto, Ready to Roll

京を駆ける、 私の拠点。

The Gateway to Life with a Car

Whether for long drives or quick shopping trips,
a single car opens up new freedoms in everyday Kyoto life.

Here, in a calm and quiet residential neighborhood a short distance from the station,
a generous six-meter-wide road out front ensures a smooth and comfortable daily routine with your car.

Workdays, weekends, everyday moments - enjoy them all at your own pace.
This is where a new way of living with Kyoto begins.

Discover Another Kyoto Through Car Life

Compact Urban Living with a Small Car

Easily navigate narrow streets and find parking in the city.
With a nimble compact car,
daily life in Kyoto feels lighter and more stylish.
When both your home and your car are the right size, everything just fits.

Weekend Adventures in a Mini SUV

Kyoto’s northern mountains and rivers are close at hand.
With a tough yet compact mini SUV,
hiking or refreshing by a stream becomes effortless.
From a city to playfields of nature - always with your car at your side.

A Tall Wagon for “Non-Overnight” Kyoto Trips

Skip the hotel but still enjoy a cozy place to stay.
With a tall wagon, spend your days in a Machiya,
then head out to a favorite cafe or brew coffee by the riverbank.
It’s not about staying - it’s about spending time.
A freer way to experience Kyoto begins here.

My Everyday Companion on the Road

Commuting, shopping, school pickups -
a reliable Kei-car makes everyday life in Kyoto run smoothly.
Every trip, even just a little farther,
becomes part of your own rhythm of living.

Imagine what it means to live here.

Drive Base Kyoto|A small base for family and car life

This proposal envisions a compact home designed around car life for a family.

The 1st floor features a built-in garage - not only protecting your car but also creating a living space where you can admire it from indoors. When the garage is empty, the earthen floor can double as a workspace.
Despite the compact floor area, the plan accommodates a family of 4 comfortably:
on the 2nd floor, a master bedroom, 2 children’s rooms, and a family closet are all included, with attention given to practical flow in daily life.

A base that connects city and nature, ordinary and extraordinary, through car life.
From here, you can design a new way of living in Kyoto.

※This property is not being sold with a renovation condition.

current floor plan

Situated in a quiet residential area of Murasakino, Kita Ward, this 6K Machiya offers a practical layout with depth.
The 1st floor features 4 rooms aligned lengthwise, alongside a traditional entrance space, passage garden, and bath area. On the 2nd floor, one room faces south and another north, keeping private and shared spaces distinct.

The house is older and currently requires renovation, but this gives flexibility to redesign the layout and interiors freely.
By converting the front portion of the 1st floor into a garage, the six-meter-wide street frontage allows for convenient integration of car life.

Whether as a main residence, second home, or weekend retreat, this property holds potential for a variety of lifestyles. Its calm setting away from the station offers an ideal base for enjoying life at your own pace, away from the city bustle.

Kuramaguchi Subway Station is about a 9-minute walk away, and the Kitanooji Horikawa bus stop just 3 minutes on foot, making it easy to rely on public transportation as well.
Supermarkets and local shops are scattered nearby, ensuring daily needs are covered. With schools and the ward office close at hand, the area provides peace of mind for residents.
