Dream Town Yamanouchi Setobatacho: A Prime Plot in Kyoto's Right Bank
This plot of land, located in the Yamanouchi Setobatacho district of Kyoto's Ukyo Ward, offers a rare opportunity to build your dream home in a highly accessible and desirable part of the ancient capital. The land is part of the Dream Town development and is being sold as a building-conditioned plot, meaning the purchase is contingent on signing a building contract with the designated developer within a specified period. This ensures a seamless process from land acquisition to home construction.
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The land does not require a development permit application. The officially registered area is 48.15 m², and it is located within a quasi-fire prevention zone. Notably, the land is also available for sale without building conditions. A separate car garage area of 9.49 m² is available. Because it is a quasi-fire-resistant building within a quasi-fire prevention zone, a building coverage ratio of 70% applies. The agent emphasizes that same-day viewings are possible via internet reservation.
The sales agent offers a comprehensive and flexible consultation and viewing process, tailored to busy schedules. They provide three distinct viewing courses: a quick 30-minute site tour focusing on the layout; a thorough 1-hour tour including equipment and features; and a comprehensive 2-hour 'satisfaction' tour that also covers the local environment by car, potentially visiting facilities like supermarkets and libraries (though these are for illustrative purposes of the tour, not as tourist attractions). Loan consultations are also available. Their business hours are from 9:00 to 19:00.
The area boasts excellent multi-modal access, being just a 5-minute walk from the Keifuku Railway Arashiyama Line's Yamanouchi Station, a 13-minute walk from the Hankyu Kyoto Line's Saiin Station, and a 15-minute walk from the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line's Nishiōji-Oike Station. The property is situated in a vibrant area of Kyoto, a city renowned for its blend of historical grandeur and modern living. A short trip will bring you to the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), a Zen temple covered in gold leaf, reflecting serenely over a pond—a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most famous sights.
