Traditional Kominka 6 min. from Hankyu Katsura Station
scrollThis property is located in Katsura, Nishikyo Ward - a peaceful neighborhood that blends convenience with cultural charm. Hankyu Katsura Station is less than 10 minutes from Kyoto’s city center, including the bustling Karasuma and Kawaramachi areas, and also offers direct access to Osaka. Nearby attractions include the renowned Katsura Imperial Villa, a masterpiece of Japanese garden design, and the serene Katsura River, which brings seasonal beauty to daily life.
Area
Hankyu Katsura Station, just a 6-minute walk from the property, serves both the Kyoto line and the Arashiyama line. As a major station, all types of trains - including limited express and the scenic “Kyo-train” - stop here, offering excellent access to central Kyoto, Arashiyama, and Osaka.

The station area is a well-developed residential zone and popular commuter hub. Convenience stores, restaurants, and the "Mew Hankyu Katsura" shopping complex - featuring a grocery store, fashion retailers, and more - make daily life comfortable. On the west side of the station, you'll also find clinics, tutoring centers, and childcare services, making this a favored area for families.

Plan
This elegant Kominka is over 90 years old and features a striking facade with a wide frontage of approx. 10m. Despite its size, the house is well-ventilated and enjoys ample natural light throughout.
Though located near the station, the house is tucked into a quiet residential street, providing a calm and peaceful living environment.
While portions of the interior have been renovated for modern use, much of the home’s original charm remains. A spacious south-facing garden brings light into the home and invites you to enjoy gardening or relaxing outdoors.
From the second-floor veranda, you can enjoy views of the leafy garden and the surrounding residential neighborhood.
With plenty of built-in storage, this property is ideal as a family home or a second residence.
