Neighboring Kyomachiya in Kitashirakawa
East Side
A quiet residential area, Kitashirakawa in Sakyo Ward,
nestled at the foot of lush green mountains
Slightly away from the hustle and bustle of central Kyoto, Kitashirakawa is home to historic mountain temples and offers a peaceful environment where you can enjoy beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons. This unrenovated Kyomachiya stands in this tranquil neighborhood.
Nearby, the Shirakawa Canal flows, offering picturesque views of cherry blossoms in spring and fresh greenery in early summer. Although the area has gradually changed over time, traditional Machiya houses can still be found.
In terms of transportation, Kyoto City buses and Keihan buses circulate in the area, providing access to various parts of the city, including Kyoto Station. The nearest station is Eizan Electric Railway's "Chayama-Kyoto University of the Arts Station", which is about a 7-minute walk away, making the area popular with students. From Keihan's "Demachiyanagi Station", you also have convenient access to Osaka.
This property is being sold as 2 neighboring Kyomachiya houses: the west and east buildings. Purchasing both buildings together is also an option. For information about the west property, please click here.
Plan
The layout follows a style commonly found in Kyomachiya, known as "Ichiretsu-Sanshitsu" (three rooms in a row). The private space in the back room (Zashiki) features a "Tsuridoko" suspended alcove, wooden fittings, a "Saobuchi" board and batten ceiling, and a "Tokonoma" alcove on the 2nd floor, all of which exhibit the unique charm of a traditional Machiya.
The space can be renovated to create a more comfortable living environment while preserving its existing character.
Facing Higashi-Kuramaguchi Street, the 1st floor can also be utilized as a small office or shop.
The property has had its interior materials removed, allowing you to see the state of the structural pillars, beams, and foundation.
Although it has aged and shows signs of wear and tear, you can appreciate the beauty and character that have developed over time in the materials, pillars, and aged finishes. Renovation will be necessary due to its deteriorated condition.
