A Grand Kyomachiya facing Kitaoji Street

7-Min Walk from Subway Karasuma-line Kitaoji Station
A Large Scale Machiya Facing Kitaoji Street

This large Kyomachiya faces bustling Kitaoji Street, a major route well-connected by city bus lines and convenient for accessing popular sightseeing destinations. The surrounding area is lively, dotted with restaurants and cafes. From the property, it’s about a 7-minute walk straight along the main road to Kitaoji Station, and just 3 minutes on foot to the city bus “Kitaoji-Shinmachi” stop; an excellent location for both business and daily life.

AREA

Kita Ward’s Koyama area combines accessibility with natural beauty. Within walking distance of the subway, you can still enjoy the serene flow of the Kamo River and the lush Kyoto Botanical Gardens.
Unlike the bustling city center, this neighborhood attracts unique, independently run shops and eateries that choose the area for its rich surroundings. With frontage along heavily trafficked Kitaoji Street and only a short walk from Kitaoji Station, the location is highly suitable for businesses such as restaurants, cafes, or galleries.

PLAN

On a generous lot exceeding 100sqm, this Machiya includes 6 rooms, a Toriniwa passage, and an inner courtyard - characteristics of Kyoto’s traditional townhouses. Its elongated structure, often referred to as “Unagi-no-nedoko” (an eel bed), reflects the classic layout of urban Machiya, with distinctive features such as “mise-no-ma” (shopfront room), “naka-no-ma” (middle room), “oku-no-ma” (inner room), Toriniwa passage, and Hibukuro open-ceiling space.
The high ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while the ample floor space offers great flexibility. The 1st floor can be adapted for business use, such as a restaurant, cafe, or gallery, while the 2nd floor provides comfortable residential quarters.

Partially demolished with interior materials removed.
※The building is aging and will require repairs for use.
