A Compact 16-Tsubo Shop in Kyoto's Historic Kamigyo Ward
Located in the Kitano area of Kyoto, the "Sembon Nakadachiuri" neighborhood is a step back in time, lined with classic Kyoto machiya townhouses. The property is situated in the tranquil residential district of Nishijin, featuring a dignified grey exterior. This charming space offers approximately 16 tsubo (about 54.25 square meters) of compact, lovable area. Its appeal lies in the approximately 5-meter wide, open frontage and a square floor plan that is easy to layout. Ample sunlight streams in from the south, enveloping the space in warm air.
