Renovated Kyoto Townhouse with Courtyard in Nishijin
This property is a traditional Kyoto townhouse (Kyo-machiya) located in the Nishijin district of Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City. The area is historically known as a center for silk weaving, and the neighborhood retains a traditional atmosphere with old buildings and the occasional sound of weaving looms. Despite its historic character, the location offers modern convenience, with the Nishijin Senbon Shopping Street, which has a variety of shops and restaurants, within walking distance.
The property underwent a full renovation in April 2019. The renovation included the complete replacement of all water-related fixtures (kitchen, vanity, bathroom, toilet), new wallpaper and ceiling finishes in all rooms, new tatami mats, and new planting in the garden. The exterior retains a classic Kyoto appearance, while the interior has been updated for modern living. The home features a courtyard garden that can be viewed from the Japanese-style room, allowing one to enjoy the changing seasons.
The property is currently being operated as an accommodation facility. It can continue to be used as lodging, or as a second home, a rental investment property, or a primary residence. The layout is 4K plus a garden and parking space. The building has two storeys, with a total floor area of approximately 96.96 square meters. The land area is 106.18 square meters. The property is serviced by city water, sewer, and city gas. The nearest bus stop is "Kenryu Ko Mae," about a 3-minute walk away, and the nearest train station is "Kitano Hakubaicho Station" on the Keifuku Electric Railway, about a 19-minute walk away. The property has a wooden structure, and while the official registry lists it as a single-storey building, the current condition is a two-storey structure. The construction year is unknown, but records from the closed registry indicate a date of 1937.
