Description
A genuine Machiya in Old Kyoto
Here’s an opportunity for those who want to be part of the real Kyoto rather than the mass tourism in Gion.
This completely untouched traditional shophouse is right next to the 1,200 year old Kitano Temanggu, one of Kyoto’s most important shrines, and less than than 100 meters from Japan’s oldest Geisha district. Yet there are hardly any tourists at all here.
The Machiya is well over 100 years old and hasn’t been touched for decades. It retains all its original features and charm and of course needs a careful renovation. Once restored, you will have a unique 2/3 bedroom home in a genuinely wonderful part of Kyoto, at a fraction of what you’d pay in Gion or Downtown.
