The exterior walls and roof have already been repaired. The interior is delivered as a skeleton with walls and ceilings removed, enabling a renovation that saves on demolition costs while allowing solid construction from the foundational elements like plumbing and insulation.

According to agent notes, the building has deteriorated, and repairs are necessary for use. A Machiya profile is available, and consultations for housing loans are accepted. The transaction will be conducted 'as-is'. The property is currently vacant.
The area is steeped in Kyoto's history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Hanazono area is historically associated with the imperial family and is home to the famous Hanazono Shrine. The closest major landmark is the stunning Kinkaku-ji Temple (the Golden Pavilion), a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is a short drive or bus ride away and represents the pinnacle of Kyoto's architectural and garden artistry.
