A Charming Kyomachiya Inn North of Nijo Castle,
Where History and Convenience Meet

This property is located in just north of Nijo Castle, slightly north of the Senbon-Marutamachi intersection.

It sits along Senbon Street, which once formed part of Suzaku Oji—the grand central avenue of the ancient Heian-kyo capital. The area is home to the historic Senbon Shopping Street, where a variety of local shops and eateries line the road, offering both cultural charm and everyday convenience.

Currently operated as a lodging facility, the property is ideal for continued use as an inn. It also presents an excellent opportunity for a second home or as an income-generating investment. Whether for residential or commercial purposes, it offers flexible potential to suit various needs.

PLAN

Though compact, the house has a refined Kyoto-style exterior and includes a tsuboniwa and an alcove, adding a sense of elegance.

Fully furnished, the property is ready for immediate use as a hospitality business.
※Furniture and appliances shown in photos are negotiable.
