100-Year-Old Kyomachiya with an Enclosed Garden
Kyomachiya Facing Kuramaguchi Street – A Tranquil Home in Murasakino
Located about a 15-minute walk from Kuramaguchi Station on the Subway Karasuma-line, this charming Kyomachiya stands along Kuramaguchi Street in Murasakino area of northern Kyoto.
Murasakino offers the perfect balance between history and everyday convenience. Surrounded by cultural landmarks such as Kinkaku-ji Temple and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, the neighborhood also features supermarkets, drugstores, bakeries, and cozy cafes—all within easy walking or biking distance.
While it's a little removed from Kyoto Station, you can reach the city center directly by bus. The neighborhood combines convenience with a peaceful atmosphere.
This property is one of the many traditional Kyomachiya that still remain in the area. Carefully lived in and preserved over generations, it carries a timeless appeal. With thoughtful renovations, it can serve beautifully as a permanent residence or a second home.
We hope this home will be passed on to someone who values the cultural and architectural heritage of Kyomachiya and is willing to preserve its legacy.
PLAN
The structure retains original fittings and finishes that evoke a true sense of history—elements that cannot be replicated today.
A private garden adds a peaceful touch, bringing the beauty of each season into your everyday life and creating a serene living environment. This is a place where you can nurture a lifestyle of calm and intentional living in one of Kyoto’s most storied neighborhoods.
AREA
The nearby Horikawa Kuramaguchi bus stop provides easy access to central Kyoto, and the surrounding area is full of characterful shops and supermarkets. You'll also find Kyoto landmarks such as Funaokayama Park and Daitoku-ji Temple just a short walk away.
The neighborhood is home to traditional businesses and creatively renovated Kyomachiya, attracting artists, designers, and others drawn to the unique spirit of Nishijin.
Though close to major tourist attractions like Kinkaku-ji Temple and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Murasakino has retained its warm, lived-in feel, where old traditions and everyday life blend seamlessly.
