A Traditional Machiya Guesthouse in Kyoto's Umekoji Area
The property underwent a complete renovation in January 2017, masterfully preserving its traditional ambiance while updating all modern amenities. It is a three-unit, terraced wooden two-story building offered for sale as a single entity. The layout features a 4K configuration plus a delightful garden. The interior includes all furniture and appliances visible in the photos, such as a rice cooker, kettle, refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine.
Agent notes detail the property's features and conditions. The equipment includes city water and sewer, city gas, and electricity. Special notes clarify that all movable property in the photos is included in the sale price. The transaction is 'as-is,' and the seller's liability for non-conformities is exempt. As the guesthouse is currently in operation, viewings may not be possible on all requested dates. The property is being sold via an agency, and an intermediary commission is required at the time of contract.
The surrounding Umekoji area, developed as part of the Heian Capital 1200th Anniversary project, serves as a new sub-gate for Kyoto tourism. A major landmark is the Kyoto Railway Museum, a fascinating attraction for all ages located just a short walk from the property. The area is also home to the Kyoto Aquarium and is adjacent to the Central Wholesale Market that supports Kyoto's renowned food culture. The property is approximately a 5-minute walk from JR Umekoji Kyoto Nishi Station on the Sanin Main Line, offering excellent access.
