Traditional Machiya for Business Use in Central Kyoto
This wooden machiya (traditional Kyoto townhouse) is available for business use, offering a prime location just a 4-minute walk from Shijo Omiya Station. The property spans 99.24 square meters and is situated in Ayomiya-cho, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. The monthly rent is 275,000 yen. Key financial terms include no security deposit (敷金), a key money (礼金) payment of 12.5 months' rent, and a 3-month guarantee deposit. The lease is a fixed-term tenancy contract with a duration of 10 years.
According to agent notes, the property is equipped with city gas and is approved for restaurant/bar use (飲食可). Important special notes include a requirement to join a guarantee company. The transaction is handled as an agency, meaning an intermediary commission fee will be required at the time of contract signing. The property is currently vacant, and the handover/current condition is subject to consultation.
The area is a bustling commercial district, placing you in the heart of Kyoto's urban life. An interesting historical fact is that the Shijo Omiya area was historically a major crossroads and remains a key transportation hub today. The closest major landmark is the iconic Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a stunning example of feudal-era architecture, located just a short distance away.
