A Kyomachiya Inheriting the Spirit of Taisho Era
Approx. 5-min. walk from Kiyomizu-Gojo Sta.
Fully renovated in Jan 2017
This fully renovated, whole-rental Kyomachiya offers a rare opportunity to enjoy life in Kyoto’s historic Higashiyama area.
Originally built in 1923, the house has quietly accumulated nearly 100 years of history, and through a full renovation completed in January 2017, it has been reborn as a comfortable and inviting home.
Located within walking distance of the Kamo River, Gojo Bridge, Rokuharamitsuji Temple, and Kiyomizu Temple, the property sits in an area that embodies the essence of Kyoto. Here, everyday convenience and a sense of calm coexist in harmony, allowing residents to experience the city’s seasons and atmosphere with all five senses.
PLAN
The January 2017 renovation modernized the kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces while preserving the home’s traditional character.
Though compact in size, the design includes an open terrace overlooking a small inner garden, creating a sense of openness and connection to nature.
The flexible layout makes the property well suited for a variety of uses, from a private second home for an individual or couple to accommodation-based operations.
