Description
Rare Merchant Machiya between Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace
The term Merchant Machiya is used to describe a larger shophouse with two buildings, separated by a courtyard garden. In times past, the street-facing section would be used as a place of business, be it a shop, a small factory or an office; the owner family would live in the house at the rear.
This lovely and completely untouched Machiya is ideally located equidistant between Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace, offering peace and tranquility right in the heart of the city.
Requiring ground-up restoration, the expert renovation team at Heritage Homes stands ready to transform this unpolished diamond into a landmark property, be it as an exclusive residence, a rental property or a guesthouse.
