Unrenovated Machiya with Shop Space on Teramachi Street in Kyoto
This property is an unrenovated Kyoto Machiya (traditional townhouse) located in a highly convenient area, within walking distance of Kyoto's most representative tourist areas such as Gion, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Shijo Kawaramachi. The nearest station is Keihan 'Shichijo Station' (Note: The text says '清水五条駅' which is Keihan Shichijo Station), approximately a 3-minute walk away. Furthermore, Hankyu 'Kyoto Kawaramachi Station' and the subway 'Gojo Station' are also accessible, ensuring smooth travel not only within the city but also to Osaka and Kobe. The surrounding area is dotted with accommodations and restaurants, offering an environment where you can casually enjoy food tours and strolls.
The building requires renovation. However, by undertaking a renovation that preserves the current material textures and appearance, you can create value that new constructions lack. With multiple rooms available, you can consider diverse uses by separating functions. For example, for business use, one side could be used as a cafe while the other as a shop or office, allowing for operation with multiple purposes. It is also suitable for combined business and residential use.
According to the agent's notes, the building has advanced deterioration, and repairs are necessary for use. This transaction is conducted on an 'as-is' basis. The property is currently vacant. The equipment includes water supply and sewerage, electricity, and city gas.
The area is steeped in history, with Teramachi Street itself being a historic district originally developed with temples in the late 16th century. A short walk north leads you to the bustling Nishiki Market, known as 'Kyoto's Kitchen,' a narrow, five-block long shopping street dedicated to all things food. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its wooden stage projecting over the hillside, offering breathtaking views of the city, located just a comfortable walk from the property.
