Meiji Period Merchant Machiya in Kitano!
A partially renovated Merchant Machiya, a large property built for merchants with two houses and a garden between them, for sale at an extremely attractive price close to Kitano Temangu.
This 170 sqm Machiya has been partially restored (plumbing, insulation etc) but retains all of its original, beautiful features. Compared to most other heritage properties, it will therefore be relatively easy and inexpensive to convert it into a very special residence or rental property.
Easily able to accommodate 4-5 bedrooms and large social areas, with an additional building behind the lovely gardens, this is truly a very special opportunity.
The Kitano Temanggu shrine, a short walk away, is one of Kyoto’s oldest and most important, ancient shrines and, surrounding it is Japan’s oldest Geisha district. Despite all this, and being less than 10 minutes by bus to the Imperial Palace, this property is extremely attractively priced; a similar property downtown will set you back three times this price, easily. Financially, as well as culturally, it is therefore a very attractive property.
