Shoreisai Estate near Shugakuin Imperial Villa
Shoreisai is a restored heritage residence in Kyoto’s northern Sakyo Ward, located near Shugakuin Imperial Villa and the quiet Kamitakano area. The estate sits on a large freehold land plot of 694.72㎡ and includes a fully restored two-storey wooden residence with a registered floor area of 322.86㎡.
The property has a documented cultural background. It was formerly owned by Nishimura Kiyoji, Chairman of Ritsumeikan University, and was named by Aisin-Gioro Pujie, younger brother of China’s last emperor. The original calligraphic name board remains on display inside the estate.
The residence includes four Japanese-style rooms, three Western-style rooms, a sunken-hearth tearoom, an independent tea house, modern kitchen, home sauna, double bathroom facilities, garage, and three parking spaces. The Japanese garden also uses Mount Hiei as borrowed scenery.
The property was comprehensively restored in November 2025 and may suit buyers looking for a private Kyoto residence, second home, cultural estate, or long-term family retreat.
