Machiya Inn with Garden 9 min. from Subway Shijo Station
A Machiya in the Heart of Kyoto
Surrounded by Tradition and Modern Comforts
Set within the Shijo-Karasuma area, known as Kyoto’s central business and shopping hub, this property offers access to diverse amenities including LAQUE Shijo Karasuma, COCON Karasuma, financial institutions, post offices, and restaurants. With easy access to Kyoto Station, the location is ideal for both daily living and business.
AREA
Just a step away from the main streets, you’ll find narrow lanes lined with Kimono shops, renovated Machiya cafes, boutique stores, and long-established Wagashi Japanese confectionery shops - a location perfect for a leisurely stroll.
In July, the neighborhood becomes the vibrant center of the Gion Festival, with the famous Yamaboko floats parading through the streets.
PLAN
The interiors have been renovated to suit modern lifestyles while retaining the elegance of a traditional Machiya. A Tatami room facing the garden allows you to enjoy the changing beauty of the seasons. Currently operated as an accommodation facility, the property can continue to be run as a guesthouse, or alternatively be used as a second home and base for exploring Kyoto.
※To continue operations as an accommodation, the new owner will need to reapply for a lodging business license under their name.
