—A traditional Kyomachiya offering refined design and texture

A traditional Kyomachiya with a Kyoto-style facade that evokes a true sense of place, beautifully adorned with timeless features such as a tsuboniwa garden and an alcove (tokonoma).

This property blends harmoniously into the surrounding historic streetscape, while the interior has been renovated into a warm and modern living space.

The tsuboniwa lets you enjoy the beauty of the seasons in a peaceful setting, ideal for unwinding and relaxing.

Currently operated as an inn, the property can continue to be used as lodging facility. It is also ideal as a second house or an income-generating property.

※New owner needs to reapply inn business licenses in their name or acquire business succession before continuing the operation as a lodging facility.

PLAN

While preserving the charm of a classic Kyomachiya, the property offers a refined and modern setting where guests can enjoy a luxurious stay. It is currently ready to be used as an income-generating property.

AREA

Located just an 8-minute walk from Gojo Station on the Karasuma Subway Line, the property offers excellent access to central Kyoto.

Two of Kyoto's most iconic historical landmarks—Nishi Honganji and Higashi Honganji Temples, both originally built in the Momoyama period—are located within walking distance.

Shosei-en, a famous garden adjacent to Higashi Honganji, has maintained its serene atmosphere and traditional beauty for over a hundred years, and is so picturesque that it is frequently used as a filming location for period dramas.

To the south lies JR Kyoto Station, and the surrounding area is dotted with shopping arcades, cafes, and restaurants, providing a convenient environment for daily life.
