Machiya Riverside Inn North Gojo Ohashi

A 5-minite walk from Kiyomizu Gojo Station,
along the scenic Takase River.
Located along the Takase River, which flows beside the iconic Kamo River—the very symbol of Kyoto—this property sits in a quiet residential area within the vibrant Kiyamachi district, one of Kyoto’s most popular downtown areas. Lined with restaurants and cafes, the neighborhood is perfect for strolling and enjoying the local atmosphere.
While retaining the traditional charm of a Kyomachiya townhouse, the interior has been tastefully updated with modern and refined design. It also offers excellent potential as an investment property, ideal for use as a guesthouse or other accommodation business.
PLAN
From the tatami room facing the Takase River, you can enjoy the changing scenery of the four seasons, with natural light and gentle breezes flowing freely through the space. This open and serene environment offers a sense of connection with nature and a truly comfortable stay.
Currently operated as an accommodation, the property presents great potential not only as an investment or income-generating asset, but also as a second home or private retreat in Kyoto.
*In principle, the current accommodation operator must be succeeded by the new owner.

AREA
Just a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of Keihan Kiyomizu-Gojo Station and a 9-minute walk from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. The location offers easy access not only to central Kyoto but also to Osaka and Kobe via the Keihan and Hankyu lines.
Lined with cafés, restaurants, and guesthouses, the area blends the charm of the Takase River’s scenic views with the liveliness of downtown Kyoto. With Shijo-Kawaramachi, Gion, and famous sights such as Kiyomizu Temple all within walking or cycling distance, this neighborhood is highly popular among both domestic and international visitors.
