Descend the gentle stairs and discover a hidden retreat at the end of the passage.
A serene Kyomachiya hideaway, where hobbies and daily life gently intertwine—your second home at your own pace.
Here, you can embrace a life devoted to what you love.
While preserving the charm of a traditional Kyomachiya, the first floor can serve as a living space with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and washroom. The second floor can be renovated into a private retreat—a “hideaway room” where you can fully immerse yourself in your collections, hobbies, or work.
PLAN
The original built-in kitchen has been removed, and parts of the toilet and the first-floor Western-style room were renovated by the previous owner. Facilities such as a washbasin or kitchen can be installed to suit your preferences. Some old fittings remain, and the aged wood quietly conveys the atmosphere of the past.
The staircase and second-floor tatami rooms retain the traditional design of a Kyomachiya, adding to its charm. The second floor features two 4.5-mat tatami rooms—spaces of a comfortable size, perfect for moments of focus. One could serve as a bedroom, and the other as a private hobby “hideaway room” filled with the things you love.
Note: Renovation is required for use of the building, though some pillars and beams can be reused.
RENOVATION IMAGE
Line your favorite collections on built-in shelves, displaying them like your own private gallery. Spread out your tools on a spacious desk and lose yourself in the joy of creation. Here, away from the noise, you can shape a retreat that belongs only to you.
Note: Photos are for image purposes only.
This property is sold without renovation requirements.

Located between Kyoto’s city center and the Higashiyama district, the Okazaki area is a place where the essence of Kyoto is condensed.
Here you will find renowned landmarks such as Heian Shrine and Nanzen-ji Temple, as well as cultural institutions including the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto and the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art. The Biwako Canal, a symbol of Kyoto’s modernization, also flows through the area, lined with cherry blossoms in spring and brilliant foliage in autumn.
AREA MAP
The property is located just a step back from the heart of Okazaki, in a quiet residential neighborhood.
It offers a calm and settled atmosphere where you can focus on what you love without distraction.
For art enthusiasts, there are museums to explore. For music lovers, concerts are close at hand. Those drawn to crafts and traditional culture can easily find opportunities to experience them, while photography enthusiasts will appreciate the picturesque seasonal landscapes of temples, shrines, and nature.
To the west of the property, Yoshida Higashi-dori Street stretches north from Heian Shrine. Alongside long-established shops, you’ll also find unique, modern stores. Every year at the end of August, the street transforms into a lively pedestrian zone for the “Yoshida Higashi-dori Night Market,” a popular local event featuring bon dances, live music, food stalls, and the participation of neighborhood residents and shopkeepers alike.
