Historic Kyoto Townhouse on Shijo Omiya

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale Kyoto townhouse (kyo-machiya) with significant historical character. Located in the prestigious Nakagyo Ward, the property was originally registered for construction in 1914 (Taisho 3), offering a blend of historical value and architectural elegance. The building faces south, ensuring excellent natural light throughout the day. Situated along Nishiki Kojidori, one street north of Shijodori, the residence provides a calm living environment while maintaining convenient access to urban amenities.

The interior features a traditional Japanese room with a tokonoma (alcove), a charming inner courtyard (niwa), and a separate annex (hanare) that offers a high degree of privacy. These elements preserve the authentic atmosphere of a Kyoto townhouse throughout the property. The total floor area is 247.04 square meters according to the public registry, with a preliminary survey measurement of 289.97 square meters. This includes a first floor of 135.54 square meters, a second floor of 107.70 square meters, a third floor of 39.09 square meters, and a basement of 7.64 square meters.

The property is a 3-minute walk from Omiya Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line and a 12-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Karasuma Subway Line. This location offers a balance of tranquility and city convenience, making it a valuable property to be passed on to the next generation.
