Description
Perfectly located small Machiya
Directly opposite Shira Mine Shrine, a lovely small neighbourhood temple, 1 minute walk from the lively Imadegawa Street, 5 minutes walk to the Imperial Palace Park and the subway; it doesn’t get much better than this extremely well-priced, completely untouched, genuine Machiya.
Priced at just under ¥28M, the Machiya retains all its original features with lovely timberwork and solid Sukiya beams and columns, a loft atrium and a small courtyard at the rear.
For another ¥25M or so for a ground-up renovation by our expert master carpenters, you will have an absolutely wonderful 1-2 bed Machiya in an unbeatable location, completely central yet away from the mass tourism of Gion and downtown. Below you will find both the existing layout and our suggested new floor plan, which you can of course modify to your exact specifications.
Partial guesthouse-license (Minpaku) possible, which allows you to rent out on AirBnb for 180 days a year. With neighbouring properties renting for ¥50,000 per night, this Machiya could be a very profitable investment, as well as a lovely home in a frankly unbeatable location for the price.
