A Refurbished Guest House West of Nijo Castle
This property presents a charming, fully refurbished guest house located in the historic Jurakumawari Minamimachi district of Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto. It offers a simple modern aesthetic complemented by a delightful small garden, creating a quintessentially Kyoto atmosphere. The location is exceptionally convenient, with both the Tozai Subway Line Nijo Station and JR Nijo Station within walking distance (approximately 5 and 7 minutes respectively), providing excellent access for commuting, daily life, and as a base for tourism. Direct access is available to areas like Saga Arashiyama, Karasuma Oike, and the Higashiyama district, with easy connections to Osaka and Kobe.
The property has been operating as a lodging facility. It can be continued as a guest house, or is recommended for use as a second home or an income-generating rental property. The layout is a 3DK and includes luxurious features like a small courtyard garden (tsuboniwa) and a tokonoma alcove, adding a traditional touch. Furthermore, all furniture is included, making it possible to immediately continue operations as an accommodation business. Please note: To operate a lodging facility, the new owner must reapply for an inn business license under their name or undertake a business succession.
According to agent notes, the property underwent significant renovations in January 2016, including replacement of flooring with new hardwood, replacement of wall and ceiling wallpaper, and installation of floor heating in the first-floor and second-floor Japanese-style rooms. In January 2020, part of the kitchen was remodeled. The chattels and furnishings shown in the photos are subject to consultation. As the guest house is currently in operation, viewings may not be possible on some requested dates. The transaction will be conducted on an 'as-is' basis.
