AREA

Located near the Kamo River,
this area is blessed with abundant nature and beautiful scenery.

Koyama area in Kita Ward, developed as a residential area during the early Showa period, is a relatively new neighborhood in Kyoto’s long history that is characterized by its serene streets lined with houses used solely for residential purposes.
Just a 3-minute walk (about 190m) from the property, you’ll find the Kamo Riverbank where you can enjoy the beautiful transitions of the seasons - cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful autumn leaves, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. This spot has long been a beloved place of relaxation for the locals, ideal for picnics, reading, leisurely walks, or simply gazing at the river in a tranquil atmosphere.

Nearby, Shimei Seseragi Park runs along the median of Shimei Street, where a small stream flows, fed by water from the Lake Biwa Canal since 2009. The Ginkgo trees lining Shimei Street turn a brilliant yellow in autumn, creating a stunning golden walkway.
A 4-minute walk north brings you to Kitayama Station on the Subway Karasuma-line. From there, it’s about 10 minutes by train to Shijo Station and 14 minutes to Kyoto Station, providing excellent access to various destinations; a convenient location for commuting, school, or weekend outings.

This area combines the convenience of the subway line with the serene environment of the nearby Kamo Riverbank, creating an appealing location that will make you want to step out and explore.

FEATURE

gardens with distinct roles: an approach and 2 courtyards

The property features 3 gardens, each with its own unique role. The stone-paved and exposed aggregate approach, lined with greenery, warmly welcomes visitors. A courtyard adjoining the dining area allows for easy access, while a small rear courtyard, viewable from the bathroom, provides natural light despite its compact size.
These 3 distinct gardens are cleverly integrated into the limited space of the property, offering not only a lush surrounding environment but also a constant connection to nature within the home.
The courtyard with a traditional Engawa wooden veranda serves as an "open private space", perfect for relaxation and enjoying moments of tranquility.

"intermediate space": the earthen floor entrance connecting indoors and outdoors

The earthen floor entrance featuring 2 large skylights floods the space with natural light, creating a bright and serene atmosphere.
Finished with mortar and exposed aggregate concrete, this space gives the sensation of being outdoors while indoors. This "intermediate space" bridges the psychological distance between the interior and exterior, making the transition from inside to outside feel seamless. As a result, the ease of stepping outside encourages a desire to "go out", making this home perfect for those who love to explore outdoor.

PLAN

A Kyomachiya surrounded by nature, located near the Kamo River and Shimei Street in Kyoto.
Passing through the stone-paved and exposed aggregate approach, you arrive at a bamboo lattice door. Beyond this is the entrance hall, an "intermediate space" that connects the approach to the interior.

The 1st floor features a spacious 14.9-mat sized LDK (Living-Dining-Kitchen) area. At the far end, a window offers a view of the courtyard, allowing the gaze to extend outward and enhancing the sense of openness. With two areas equipped with underfloor heating, the space remains comfortable even during the colder months.

The 2nd floor houses 2 bedrooms, each with its own closet, as well as an additional toilet. This setup is convenient for nighttime bathroom visits, eliminating the need to go downstairs.
