the convenience of central Kyoto,
the calm of “Rojinaka” alley living,
a compact size that feels just right
Located just north of the World Heritage Site Nijo Castle, this home enjoys the convenience of central Kyoto. Yet, step just one alley in from the main street, and the atmosphere
This unrenovated Machiya stands quietly within that hidden “Rojinaka” alley setting.
Its compact scale offers a comfortable balance – an easy, unpretentious way to engage with Kyoto without excess.
Not just for sightseeing, but for occasional stays.
For those who want to experience Kyoto as a place to live but not visit.
As a second home for quiet retreats and personal time, this property offers a realistic way to fulfill the dream of having your own place in Kyoto.
A nostalgic, retro atmosphere that remains
Believed to have already stood here since the Meiji period, this Machiya has been carefully passed down through generations of residents.
Aged fittings and architectural details preserve traces of old Kyoto, creating a nostalgic, retro atmosphere that feels both gentle and deeply authentic.

Central Kyoto living, surrounded by greenery and water
Though located in the heart of the city, the area is rich in natural elements: the greenery of Nijo Castle, pine-lined moats, seasonal maple-lined pathways, and the gentle flow of water along the Horikawa promenade.
For daily needs, the large supermarket Daily Qanat Izumiya Horikawa-Marutamachi is within walking distance, offering groceries, drugstores, bakeries, cleaning services, and even 100-yen shops. Stylish cafes and unique small shops are scattered throughout the neighborhood, creating a lifestyle with a comfortable sense of openness and balance.
With a bicycle, commuting to central office districts is easy and natural. Stopping by long-established shops, discovering new favorites, or enjoying weekend strolls - Kyoto’s everyday life unfolds effortlessly here.
-
Nijo Park(approx. 2-min. walk / 100m)
A large neighborhood park just 2 min. walk from the property. With playground equipment, shaded seating areas, and open space, it’s enjoyed by families, children, elderly residents, and office workers alike; a lively, community-loved local park.
-
Supermarket Izumiya(approx. 9-min. walk / 655m)
The nearest supermarket, officially Daily Qanat Izumiya Horikawa-Marutamachi. The 1F grocery and daily goods section operates from 9:00am-10:00pm. Facilities include cleaning services, a 100-yen shop, pharmacy, MOS Burger, bank ATM, and bicycle parking - an all-in-one, highly convenient shopping complex.
-
JR / Subway Nijo Station(approx. 15-min. walk)
From JR Sagano-line Nijo Station, Kyoto Station is just about a 7-minute ride. The area includes BiVi Nijo cinema complex and COOP supermarket, offering not only excellent transport access but strong everyday usability.
A single step into the alley reveals a unique quietness only Rojinaka can offer.
間取plan
Approximately 50sqm, with a 3 rooms + kitchen and storeroom layout, this property is in an ideal scale for a Kyoto stay base.
Neither too large nor too small, the space offers a comfortable sense of distance for a second-home lifestyle.
Perfect for quiet solo stays, or for sharing Kyoto time with a partner, the layout remains flexible and adaptable.
In the future, changes in lifestyle could also open possibilities for rental use, making this a highly versatile property.
Renovation Examples
Full renovation with new water facilities
A renovation example from a Machiya of similar scale. By exposing traditional structural beams and pillars, the space blends heritage construction with a modern atmosphere.
A small garden, restoring Machiya character
A courtyard, even a small one, is essential to the Machiya experience. A Tsuboniwa garden allows light and air to flow through the home, creating a comfortable living environment.
With lattice facades, the exterior regains the classic Machiya appearance.
A flexible multipurpose room
A room that adapts to your stay style - as a study, remote-work space, or guest room.
Designed not simply for “living”, but for staying in Kyoto, this flexible space reflects the true value of a second home.
