A Contemporary Home with a
Sense of History
"Re:sidence" is a modern retreat inspired by a land rich with history - the site of the former Jurakudai, a grand palace built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Stone-paved paths and a commanding rock garden create a tranquil hideaway. Surrounded by markers of former feudal estates, this area still whispers stories of Kyoto’s illustrious past. Through minimalist design and framed views of nature, this home invites you to discover a new narrative in daily life.
HistoryJurakudai and the Remains of Daimyo Estates
Jurakudai was a legendary palace built by Hideyoshi, demolished only eight years after completion. It once housed residences of powerful feudal lords, including Uesugi Kagekatsu and Kuroda Josui, and also Sen-no-Rikyu whose names are still inscribed on stone markers throughout the neighborhood. Just 50m east of this property stands a marker engraved “Jurakudai Samurai Residence: Uesugi Kagekatsu Estate”.
The nearby “Danjocho” district is believed to be named after Kagekatsu’s court title “Uesugi Danjo”, as he lived in this very neighborhood with his family. Ongoing archaeological studies in this area continue to shed light on the political and architectural landscape of Hideyoshi’s time.
GardenA Trio of Landscapes
Stone-Paved Approach (North Garden)
A long passageway leads to the entrance, heightening anticipation. The path is lined with granite stones of varying sizes and seasonal plantings that shift in character throughout the year.
Framed Garden View (East Garden)
Just beyond the entrance, a hallway leads to a picture window that frames a serene garden view. Large natural stones known as Moriyama-ishi lend an air of quiet dignity.
※Moriyama-ishi: a stone sourced from the Hira mountain range in Shiga Prefecture, admired for its beautiful striations and often used by renowned Meiji-era landscape artist Ogawa Jihei.
Garden of Stillness (South Garden)
A dramatic contrast of rugged driftwood and stones creates a dynamic yet tranquil landscape. The spacious deck, partially sheltered, serves as an outdoor living area and offers a different ambiance by day and night.
Plan
The property features a long passageway from the road to the residence, offering both privacy and charm. The front area allows for parking, and beyond the entrance, a symbolic corridor runs the full depth of the house.
The second-floor bathroom design allows full enjoyment of the garden on the first floor, creating a clear distinction between relaxation and living zones. The intentionally pared-back interior enhances the contrast with the vivid beauty seen through the windows.
AreaWhere History Meets Daily Life
Located on the former grounds of Jurakudai, this neighborhood not only echoes with the romance of Japanese history but also retains the charm of Kyoto’s streetscapes. It is the birthplace of Nishijin weaving, and traditional Machiya townhouses still line the area. Local favorites, artisan shops, and the Horikawa Promenade - ideal for daily strolls - add to the area's relaxed and livable appeal, despite its urban convenience.

A Neighborhood of Machiya
This property is in Nishijin, a district famed for producing high-end silk textiles. Many large Machiya, once used as shops and homes by weavers and traders, can still be found here.
-
Horikawa Promenade
Running along Kyoto’s main Horikawa Street, this peaceful walkway features flowing streams. The area south of Ichijo Street becomes a waterside park, known in spring for its early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms.
