Designated Traditional Building West of Kodaiji
Experience the Charm of Higashiyama's Culture and History in Shimokawaracho
Situated in the heart of the culturally and historically rich Higashiyama district, this property is surrounded by Kyoto’s most renowned temples, such as Kodaiji Temple and Kiyomizu Temple. Nearby, the iconic streets of "Nene-no-Michi", "Ninenzaka" and "Sannenzaka" exude Kyoto's timeless charm and are frequented by visitors dressed in traditional Yukata and Kimono both day and night. In recent years, prominent companies have opened flagship concept stores in the area, solidifying the region's status as a culturally and historically significant location.
This two-storey wooden building, which previously operated as a lodging facility, offers an authentic traditional architectural style, making it a rare find in this popular international tourist destination.
AREA
This property is located in a highly appealing area, filled with attractions such as historic streetscapes and traditions deeply rooted in daily life - an area with so much to offer as a renowned tourist destination.
The adjoining "Nene-no-Michi" lane has undergone a beautification project involving the burial of utility poles and lines underground. This has transformed the street into a charming, seamless stone-paved path with an elegant atmosphere, free from visual interruptions.
PLAN
Preserving its original charm from the time of construction, this property reflects the authentic Kyoto aesthetic and is located near Kodaiji Temple. Its versatile design makes it ideal for use as a restaurant, retail shop, cafe, or as lodging facility such as a guesthouse.
We are seeking a buyer who appreciates and values the preservation of Kyoto’s beautiful townscape and will take care of this historic property.
