A Renovated Urban Residence in Kyoto's Ukyo Ward
The property's current status is occupied, and viewings are encouraged. The agent notes: "Currently occupied. Please feel free to contact us regarding your preferred date for an actual viewing." Additional remarks provide critical details: "Builder: Iseki-gumi Kankeiho [Property Code] 179801-6155. Neighborhood association fee: 400 yen per month. Pet ownership is permitted (subject to regulations). The property will be handed over in its current condition. A 7-day grace period for vacating is provided. The seller is exempt from liability for non-conformity of the contract." These notes confirm the building's contractor, the minimal monthly community fee, the pet-friendly policy (a significant advantage), and the specific terms of transfer and contract.
Located on the 6th floor of an 8-story reinforced concrete building, the apartment benefits from an eastern exposure. Building amenities include an elevator, a bicycle parking area, and security cameras. The unit itself boasts a system kitchen with a 3-burner gas stove, an automatic bath with a reheating function, a separate washroom, a shower-equipped vanity, a warm-water washlet toilet, built-in storage in all rooms, a closet, and a shoe box. A 6.89 square meter balcony provides outdoor space. While a dedicated car park is not available, the presence of a monthly parking fee suggests options might be accessible.
The surrounding neighborhood of Umazu Minamihirocho is exceptionally convenient for daily life. A supermarket, Sundy Kyoto Umazu, is just 68 meters away, making grocery shopping effortless. Other immediate amenities include a Hankyu Oasis supermarket (76m), a SUGI Pharmacy (103m), and a 7-Eleven convenience store (232m). For broader shopping needs, the Kyoto Family shopping center is within 800 meters. The area is well-served by public transport, with Saikyogoku Station (Hankyu Kyoto Line), Randen Tenjingawa Station (Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Line), and Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station (Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line) all within an 18-20 minute walk.
An interesting historical fact about the Ukyo Ward is that it encompasses the western part of the ancient Heian-kyo capital, an area once reserved for aristocrats and temples. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kinkaku-ji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site located a short drive or bus ride away, offering a stunning example of Muromachi-period garden design and a profound connection to Kyoto's cultural heritage.
