The property is set amid the abundant natural surroundings of western Kyoto, close to Ryoanji, a Zen temple founded in the Muromachi period and renowned for its iconic rock garden; Ninnaji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its late-blooming Omuro cherry blossoms; and Mt. Narabigaoka.
Throughout the year, the landscape transforms with the seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn foliage, and snow-covered scenery in winter—allowing residents to enjoy the subtle beauty of nature’s changing expressions.
Although the area attracts many visitors from both Japan and abroad, it is designated as an Exclusively Low-Rise Residential Zone in order to preserve a high-quality living environment. Strict planning regulations help ensure harmony with the surrounding streetscape and protect the area’s rich natural setting, maintaining a calm and refined residential atmosphere.
