Machiya in Original Condition 7 min from Nijo Sta.

An unrenovated kyomachiya located in Nishinokyo,south of Nijo Castle, with access to three rail lines: the Subway Tozai Line, JR, and Hankyu.

This property retains the classic charm of a traditional machiya, with features such as a garden and a hibukuro (double height ceiling) creating a distinctly Kyoto atmosphere.
With Subway Tozai Line and JR Nijo Station, as well as Hankyu Omiya Station, all within walking distance, the location offers smooth access to Arashiyama, Karasuma Oike, and the Higashiyama area, as well as Osaka and Kobe. It is a convenient base for commuting, daily life, or sightseeing.
Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also within walking distance, making this home well suited as a primary residence, second home, or a Kyoto getaway.

PLAN

This machiya retains traditional Kyomachiya details throughout and offers a flexible layout with great potential for renovation.
While the interior will require some refurbishment, it offers a rare opportunity to create a home that reflects your own vision.
On the first floor, classic Kyomachiya features remain, including a hibukuro (double height ceiling) rising up to the ceiling and a distinctive spatial flow that allows the eye to travel from the entrance through to the inner doma area. These elements make it possible to preserve the home’s character while creating an open and comfortable living space. Renovation plans can also make the most of Kyomachiya-specific charm, such as the traditional street-facing facade and a tsuboniwa courtyard garden.
Well suited for individuals or small households, the property is ideal as a primary residence or a second home in Kyoto.

AREA

Approximately a 7-minute walk to JR Nijo Station, an 8-minute walk to Subway Tozai Line Nijo Station, and a 13-minute walk to Hankyu Omiya Station, this location offers excellent access across Kyoto as well as convenient connections to Osaka—ideal for commuting and daily travel.
Just nearby is the Kyoto Sanjo-kai Shopping Street, one of the largest covered arcades in western Japan, stretching about 800 meters with around 180 shops. Supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, drugstores, and other daily essentials are all close at hand, making it easy to complete everyday shopping and dining without going far.
