The frontage is approximately 8.2 meters, with a 6-meter wide private road providing access.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and facilities are listed as "-" (none specifically listed).

Critical additional information from the agent's remarks states that the property is located within a sediment disaster warning area (土砂災害警戒区域内).

The Iwakura area in northern Kyoto is known for its peaceful, verdant setting at the foot of the mountains, offering a retreat from the city center while remaining well-connected. An interesting historical fact is that the area was once the site of the Iwakura Mission in the late 19th century, a pivotal diplomatic envoy that helped shape modern Japan. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kinkaku-ji Temple, the stunning Golden Pavilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site located a short drive away, representing the pinnacle of Kyoto's cultural heritage.
