Large Merchant Machiya with Large Garden and Kura!
Heritage Homes is pleased to offer something truly special; a genuine, beautiful Marchant Machiya, consisting of a front main house and rear residence, separated by a large garden and with its own Kura. A kura is a traditional stone building, traditionally used to store rice and other valuables. You normally only see these buildings connected to very large residences and temples and shrines. There aren’t any official figures available, but it is estimated that there are less than 100 kuras left in private residences in all of Kyoto, so this is a very special property indeed.
Situated just West of Nijo Castle, in a non-touristy part of the city, with great access to trains, subway and buses, this Merchant Machiya is waiting for the right owner to bring it back to its former glory. Potential to be used as a very high end, unique residence or indeed a guesthouse (subject to the usual permits). An early viewing is highly recommended.
