Spacious Machiya East of Daitoku-ji Temple

  • ¥47,800,000

Description

This property is a 102-year-old traditional Kyoto machiya with an attached former textile workshop. The exterior retains its original wooden latticework, and its corner-lot location allows for independent entrances on both the north and west sides.

Step inside to discover a surprisingly spacious interior filled with natural light throughout the day, thanks to windows on all four sides. In the late afternoon, warm sunset light gently reflects off the historic walls of the hibukuro (open atrium) and glass windows, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

The former workshop, located on the first floor of the detached building, features high ceilings and generous floor space. It offers great versatility and can be used for vehicle or outdoor equipment storage, a hobby room for plants or books, or converted into an atelier, workshop, shop, or studio.

From the second floor, there are pleasant eastern views toward Mount Hiei, making it an ideal space for focused work or quiet relaxation—perfect as a private office or a comfortable reception room.

With its corner setting, two independent structures, and flexible layout that supports a wide range of uses, this property presents a rare opportunity to combine residential living with creative and commercial potential.
