Description
Suiran-so – Renovated Estate with Tea House and Garden near Nanzenji
Suiran-sō stands as a singular private estate in the historic eastern reaches of Kyoto, moments from the Meiji-era Lake Biwa Canal. Raised on hand-laid boulder ramparts in the manner of a Sengoku-period fortified residence, the property commands a 681.57 sqm site entirely screened from neighbouring homes — a rare condition of seclusion within the ancient capital.
Offers a fully renovated (2022) 418.49 sqm residence centred on a karesansui dry garden encircled by mature pines, with a central turtle stone symbolising longevity. The 25-tatami living room opens entirely toward this garden. Four bedrooms capture city lights and the surrounding mountain ridgeline, complemented by three multipurpose rooms suitable for home cinema, wine cellar, or private studio.
A detached timber tea house — designed in the four-and-a-half-mat grass-hermitage style of Sen no Rikyū — is approached through an authentic roji garden of Kurama stepping stones and tsukubai water basin, with the distant silhouette of Mount Hiei as borrowed scenery. Just five minutes on foot from Misasagi Station, the estate offers profound seclusion with rapid access to Nanzenji Temple, Heian Shrine, and Kyoto Station.
