A Spacious Residence Overlooking a Weeping Cherry Blossom Garden in Saga, Kyoto
The 5LDK layout is designed for comfortable living with the changing seasons. Passing through the stone-paved approach to the entrance reveals a tatami room with a view of a small south garden. Further inside are a preparation area (mizuya), closets, and a Japanese-style room facing the garden, with a design that evokes the spirit of the tea ceremony, including a feature reminiscent of a 'nijiriguchi' (crawling-in entrance). The LDK is spacious, with built-in shelves around the kitchen offering ample storage. Large windows open onto a terrace and the weeping cherry garden, filling the bright living room with sunlight and a sense of openness. The property is well-equipped for comfortable living, featuring floor heating, all-electric systems, and an automatic shutter for security and convenience.
The second floor contains one Western-style room and one Japanese-style room. A balcony facing the Japanese-style room offers views of the distinctive rural landscape of Saga. The walk-in closet provides generous space for clothing and luggage. Furthermore, both the first and second floors have their own toilet and washbasin area, ensuring a comfortable living environment even when hosting guests.
Special Notes from Agent (Translated): Items shown in the photos (furnishings, etc.) are not included in the sale price. This property cannot be used as lodging/accommodation facilities. The transaction is for the property 'as-is'. Renovations were completed in 2023, including: kitchen remodeling, installation of new lighting fixtures, installation of a counter table on the terrace, laying stone slabs in the rear garden, and installation of glass fencing.
The property is located in the renowned Arashiyama tourist area of Kyoto. A short distance from the bustle of landmarks like Togetsukyo Bridge and the Bamboo Grove Path, this location offers views of rural scenery and the Saga mountains, allowing residents to enjoy nature throughout the seasons. The area is steeped in history and culture, home to Kanku-ji Temple, which gives the neighborhood its name, and Daikaku-ji Temple, famous for its 'Moon-Viewing Evening' events. In autumn, the moon reflected on Osawa Pond captivates visitors, conveying the elegance of Heian-period nobility to the modern day. The location provides a quiet living environment surrounded by spacious grounds and gentle landscapes, yet offers convenient access via three train stations: JR, Randen, and the Sagano Romantic Train (Torokko), allowing flexible travel. Access to central Kyoto by car or bicycle is also convenient.
