A Calm Residential Area East of Daitoku-ji

Located to the east of Daitoku-ji Temple, this neighborhood is defined by its long, open streets where traditional Machiya and modern homes stand side by side.

The wide, uninterrupted sightlines and expansive sky create a refreshing sense of openness.

Here and there, traditional townhouses remain, often adorned with carefully arranged plants at their entrances—subtle signs of a community that takes pride in everyday living.

Nearby, the Shin-Omiya Shopping Street—one of the longest in Kyoto—offers a vibrant mix of local shops, bakeries, coffee houses, and delicatessens.

With both cultural landmarks and daily conveniences within easy reach, the area offers a well-balanced lifestyle, while still allowing walking access to the subway.

A Historic Machiya with an Integrated Workshop

This property is a Machiya with over 100 years of history, combined with a former weaving workshop.

The exterior retains its traditional wooden lattice façade, and its corner position allows for entrances on both the north and west sides—an uncommon and highly functional feature.

Light-Filled Interior with Expansive Space

Inside, the house opens into a surprisingly large and continuous space, supported by solid, time-honored materials.

Windows on all four sides bring in abundant natural light throughout the day.

In the evening, warm sunlight filters through the atrium walls and old glass windows, casting a soft orange glow that adds a distinctly atmospheric quality.

Versatile Workshop and Living Spaces

The workshop on the ground floor of the annex features high ceilings and generous volume, making it ideal for a wide range of uses.

It can accommodate vehicles, motorcycles, outdoor equipment, large plants, or extensive collections of books.

The space is equally suited as a studio, atelier, workshop, shop, or small public venue.

On the second floor, the eastern exposure offers pleasant views, including Mt. Hiei in the distance.

This level provides a calm and comfortable environment for work or relaxation.

A Property Designed for Flexible Living

With its corner location, dual-building configuration, and generous scale, this property offers significant flexibility.

It is particularly well suited for those seeking a residence combined with a creative or professional space—allowing for a lifestyle that integrates living, working, and expression in one place.
