A Quiet Residential Setting with Local Character

Located in a residential neighborhood just a short walk from Funaoka Onsen—an iconic public bathhouse with over 100 years of history—this property offers a unique blend of everyday Kyoto life and local culture.

The surrounding Kuramaguchi area is known for its relaxed atmosphere. Small izakaya, traditional cafés, and long-standing neighborhood shops line the nearby streets, creating a sense of familiarity and warmth that gradually becomes part of daily life.

Although the area is not far from central Kyoto, stepping into this neighborhood reveals a calm and open environment, where the sky feels expansive and the pace of life slows naturally.

A Home Defined by Space and Flexibility

The house is set on a quiet street just off Kuramaguchi-dori.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a striking open space that extends from the entrance through to the back of the house, enhanced by high ceilings and a continuous earthen-floor (doma) area.

The second floor is uniquely configured, with rooms divided into north and south sections by a central balcony. Each side functions as an independent space, while opening the windows and doors allows for a gentle connection across the entire floor.

This flexible layout lends itself not only to residential use but also to creative purposes such as a studio, workshop, or small gathering space.

A Space for Creativity and Expression

Both floors feature high ceilings, making the property particularly suitable for those who require generous vertical space—such as artists, designers, or individuals seeking a creative environment.

The openness of the interior invites a variety of possibilities, allowing the space to be shaped according to personal vision and lifestyle.

Everyday Life in a Welcoming Neighborhood

The Senbon Kuramaguchi intersection is just a 3-minute walk away.

Strolling along Senbon Street, you will find a mix of local flower shops, small supermarkets, and long-standing neighborhood stores—each adding character to the area.

As the evening sky turns soft shades of pink, walking through this neighborhood brings a quiet sense of belonging, as if the town gradually becomes part of your own daily life.

A Place to Begin Something New

This property offers more than just a place to live—it provides a setting where daily life, creativity, and local culture come together.

It is well suited for those looking to establish a personal residence, creative base, or a new lifestyle rooted in Kyoto.
