Compact and Convenient Studio Apartment in Kyoto's Historic Higashiyama District
This studio apartment, located in the Dem One Tofukuji 106 building, offers a practical living solution in the heart of Kyoto's culturally rich Higashiyama ward. The property is a skeleton unit, meaning it requires renovation, providing a blank canvas for personalization. The building features an auto-lock security system, enhancing safety and privacy by allowing residents to screen visitors. The apartment itself has a wall-core exclusive area of 17.46 sqm (approximately 5.28 tsubo) and includes a 2.33 sqm balcony with a western exposure.
The building is a reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in June 1988, standing four stories tall with this unit located on the first floor. Monthly running costs include a 6,000 yen management fee and a 4,200 yen repair reserve fund. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
The Higashiyama area is one of Kyoto's most famous and picturesque districts, known for its preserved historic streets, traditional wooden machiya houses, and numerous temples. An interesting fact is that the area was largely spared from bombing during World War II, contributing to its exceptional preservation of historical architecture. The property is just a 5-minute walk from Tofukuji Station, providing excellent access via the JR Nara Line and Keihan Main Line. The closest major landmark is the sprawling Tofukuji Temple, a significant Zen temple founded in 1236 and renowned for its stunning autumn foliage and historic Sanmon gate.
