Description
Renovated Kyoto Machiya in Central Shimogyo — Currently operating as accomodation
This fully renovated two-storey Kyomachiya sits in the central “Tanoji” grid of Shimogyo Ward, one of Kyoto’s most historically intact and walkable neighborhoods. The location offers immediate access to shops, restaurants, and transit, with Gion, Nishiki Market, and Kiyomizu-dera all within easy walking or cycling distance.
The property was originally constructed in the Taisho period and was completely refurbished in January 2025, preserving key architectural elements like the hako-kaidan (box staircase), engawa, and courtyard garden, while updating the kitchen, bath, and interiors for modern use. The overall finish is clean and minimal with natural textures and thoughtful design choices that balance tradition and comfort.
This is a solid option for anyone looking for an investment-ready property in central Kyoto—whether to continue hospitality use or convert to a private second home with historic character.
