Description
Unrenovated Kyo-machiya near Shishigatani and the Philosopher’s Path
Located one street west of Shishigatani-dori in Kyoto’s Okazaki area, Machiya C is an unrenovated Kyo-machiya that retains many original architectural features and offers an opportunity for restoration. The property sits in a quiet residential neighborhood known for its traditional atmosphere, while remaining within walking distance of cultural landmarks, local cafés, and daily conveniences.
The house has a long, traditional machiya layout extending from the entrance to the rear garden. Existing timber elements, exposed beams, and original room divisions provide a strong foundation for renovation while preserving the character of the building. The south-facing garden allows natural light into the interior and creates a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
