Spacious Traditional Japanese Homes in Kameoka's Serene Residential Area

Nestled within the expansive residential development of Minamitsutsujigaoka Oobadai in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture, this unique property features two distinct traditional Japanese houses standing side-by-side. Occupying a generous plot equivalent to two standard lots, the estate comprises a main house and a separate guest house, each thoughtfully equipped with a tranquil tea ceremony room and a functional preparation area (mizuya). The architectural details are a highlight, showcasing exquisite natural wood lattice ceilings (amido tenjou), impressive decorative shelving, built-in cabinetry, and specialized kitchen shelving that are truly worth seeing. While some interior repairs, such as wall coverings, are needed, the potential for transformation is significant.

The property's equipment includes electricity, public water supply, and public sewer systems. A key note from the agent specifies that there is no on-site parking space; therefore, parking must be arranged for in the nearby vicinity.

Kameoka City, located just west of Kyoto City, offers excellent accessibility as a bedroom community, with both car and train connections to central Kyoto in approximately 20 minutes and to Osaka City in about one hour. The city center, home to the historic Kameyama Castle ruins, is undergoing revitalization with new developments like a soccer stadium. The property itself is situated on a plateau in a large, peaceful residential district south of the city center. An interesting fact about the area is that Kameoka is the starting point of the Hozu River Boat Ride, a scenic tourist attraction where visitors can take traditional wooden boats down a picturesque gorge to Arashiyama in Kyoto. The closest major landmark is the historic Kameyama Castle Ruins in the city center.
