HISTORY & CULTURE歴史と文化

• 

  In the Heian period, the Tanoji district was lined with aristocratic residences, and to this day, it remains home to many traditional and long-established shops. At its core is the Shijo-Karasuma area, which has long been the heart of Kyoto's commercial and business activities. Today, the district is densely packed with office buildings, department stores, and shopping centers, truly making it the center of Kyoto's urban life.
  Despite its urban character, the Tanoji district is also close to Kyoto's iconic natural scenery, such as the panoramic Kamo River, as well as numerous historical and tourist landmarks. This unique balance between bustling city life and serene natural and historical beauty attracts visitors from across Kyoto Prefecture and beyond throughout the year.

• 

  The Gion Festival, a beloved summer tradition known for its "Konchikichin" sound festival music, culminates in grand events such as the Yamaboko Floats Procession and the Shinkosai Ceremony, both of which take place in the Tanoji district. Centered around the Shijo-Karasuma area, a total of 34 Yamaboko floats are erected, and visitors can purchase festival-exclusive charms and "Chimaki", an amulet made from bamboo leaves to ward off bad diseases and disasters, from each float during the festival period.
  As night falls, the illuminated lanterns and the sound of Gion music create a truly atmospheric scene that exudes Kyoto's unique charm and deep historical significance.

  Fully renovated in September 2024, this Kyomachiya blends traditional charm with modern comfort. While preserving the unique ambiance of a Kyomachiya, the property has been updated to suit contemporary lifestyles. All water plumbing facilities have been completely replaced, and floor heating has been installed for added comfort. The garden, an essential feature of any Kyomachiya, has been carefully landscaped and complemented by an Engawa porch, allowing residents to enjoy the changing seasons and embrace a lifestyle of relaxation and elegance.

location立地

This property is located in a vibrant area within a 10-minute walk of Shijo-Karasuma, the heart of business and commerce. The neighborhood is bustling with office buildings and restaurants. In recent years, renovated Machiya properties have been transformed into shops, offices, inns, and other diverse facilities, creating a unique blend of old and new that continues to attract people. This mix of traditional and modern has made the area consistently popular over time.

One of the highlights of the Shijo-Karasuma area is its excellent transportation options. With convenient access to not only various parts of Kyoto City but also areas outside Kyoto, such as Osaka, it's a highly accessible location. The nearest station to the property is the Subway "Gojo Station", but "Shijo Station" and Hankyu Railway "Karasuma Station" are also within walking distance, allowing you to choose transportation depending on your plans.
If you opt for a bicycle, Keihan's "Kiyomizu-Gojo Station" and JR's "Kyoto Station" are also within a 10-minute ride. The convenience of transportation here is among the best in Kyoto.
