Whole-Rental Kyomachiya Facing Shinmachi St.

A Kyomachiya in the Heart of the City, Featuring a Charming Garden and the Lingering Beauty of Its Original Design

This traditional Japanese-style machiya consists of a main house and a detached annex, offering an atmosphere rich in heritage.
Although located within a commercial district, stepping just one street away from the main road leads you into a quiet residential neighborhood, where the home sits in peaceful seclusion.

AREA

Centered around Karasuma-Oike, one of Kyoto’s most prominent intersections, the area is lined with offices and stylish buildings, while hidden local shops can be found along the side streets. To the north lies the Kyoto Imperial Palace, to the west Nijo Castle, and to the east the Kamogawa River—each promising an enjoyable day out. Many Kyomachiya still remain in the neighborhood, allowing you to appreciate Kyoto’s distinct charm and atmospheric streetscape.

PLAN

One of the property’s greatest features is the inner garden, where lush greenery faces inward from all sides. From the second-floor corridor, the garden can be viewed through wide windows, offering seasonal scenery that brings calm and comfort.
Here, you can step away from the noise of daily life and spend quiet moments at your own pace, immersed in a sense of timeless stillness.

The property is currently operated as lodging, and it can continue to be used as such, or serve as a second home and base for exploring Kyoto.
*Please note that if the property continues to operate as accommodation, the new owner will need to reapply for the ryokan business license under their own name.
