Renovated Machiya Guest House in Kyoto's Historic Nishijin District

This property is a fully renovated traditional Kyoto townhouse (machiya) located in the historic Nishijin district of Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City. Originally built in October 1951, the two-story wooden structure was completely refurbished in January 2017 to serve as a guest house while retaining its classic Kyoto charm. The property is offered as a whole-building rental accommodation but can also be considered for residential use.

The exterior preserves a distinctly Kyoto aesthetic, while the interior has been modernized for contemporary living. The home features a 4K layout (four rooms plus kitchen) and includes a charming tsuboniwa (courtyard garden). The tatami-mat Japanese room facing the garden allows residents to enjoy the changing seasons. The soft light filtering through the room's traditional fittings creates a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The sale price includes all furniture and appliances such as a rice cooker, kettle, refrigerator, microwave oven, and washing machine.

According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with water and sewer systems, electricity, and city gas. Important remarks include: The property is currently operating as a guest house. To continue operating it as lodging, a business transfer under the new owner's name is required. Due to ongoing operations, viewings may not be possible on desired dates. The property is sold in its current condition (as-is). The 2017 renovation included complete renewal of all wet areas (kitchen, washbasin, bathroom, toilet), replacement of wall and ceiling wallpaper in all rooms, new tatami mats, and landscaping. The listed land area is 40.69 sqm (approx. 12.30 tsubo) and the total building area is 46.93 sqm (approx. 14.19 tsubo). A setback of approximately 0.84 sqm applies.
