This traditional Kyoto Machiya is located along the Shirakawa Canal in Higashiyama Ward, just 2 minutes from Higashiyama Station.
It’s within walking distance of Heian Shrine, Okazaki Park, and Gion, making it a convenient base for exploring the city’s cultural spots. The house sits quietly at the end of a narrow alley and has previously been used as a guesthouse. It’s being sold as-is, and while guesthouse use is possible, a new license application is required.
