Kyoto Machiya with Licensed Guesthouse Operation (365 days licensed guesthouse)

Located in Higashimonzencho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, this traditional Kyoto kominka property offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the cultural heart of Kyoto. Situated just north of Chion-in Temple and within walking distance of famous landmarks such as Heian Shrine and ROHM Theatre Kyoto, the property enjoys a highly desirable location surrounded by history, culture, restaurants, and local shops. Convenient access to the subway and city bus network also allows easy travel throughout Kyoto. The property is currently operated as a 365 days licensed guesthouse, making it an attractive investment opportunity for buyers seeking an operational hospitality property in Kyoto. At the same time, the house can also serve as a private residence, second house, or personal Kyoto retreat. The first-floor dining area has been thoughtfully designed to maximize functionality and comfort. Storage space beneath the kitchen counter accommodates a washing machine, mini refrigerator, and waste bins, creating a clean and spacious environment without disrupting the flow of daily living. This practical layout enhances both guest comfort and long-term usability. The second-floor bedroom is bright and inviting, benefiting from excellent natural light throughout the day. The renovated balcony area has been transformed into a compact outdoor space that captures the atmosphere of a traditional Kyoto garden, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation. In January 2025, the property underwent further renovations, including the installation of a new kitchen, replacement of interior wall coverings, and installation of new air-conditioning units. The house is offered fully furnished, allowing the next owner to begin using the property immediately after purchase. Combining the charm of a traditional Kyoto kominka, a prime cultural location, and the advantages of an operational 365 days licensed guesthouse, this property offers exceptional flexibility. Whether continued as a hospitality business, maintained as an investment property, or enjoyed as a second house in Kyoto, it represents a rare opportunity in one of Kyoto’s most desirable districts. *Please note that if the property is to continue operating as a guesthouse, the new owner will be required to reapply for the lodging business license under their own name in accordance with applicable regulations.*
