Description
Unrenovated Kyo-machiya near Shishigatani and the Philosopher’s Path
Located in the quiet Shishigatani area of Sakyo Ward, Machiya D is an unrenovated Kyo-machiya that retains the scale and proportions of a traditional Kyoto townhouse while offering a larger interior footprint and a generous south-facing garden. The property is situated just west of Shishigatani-dori, within walking distance of the Philosopher’s Path, Ginkakuji Temple, and the cultural attractions of the Okazaki area.
With its larger building size, south-facing garden, and quiet location, the property may suit buyers seeking a primary residence, second home, creative retreat, or long-term Kyoto base. Renovation offers the opportunity to preserve the character of the machiya while adapting the house to modern living requirements.
