Kyoto Machiya Approved for 180-Day Minpaku Operation (West & East Buildings)

Located in Masuyacho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, this rare property consists of two adjoining two-story terraced houses, offered together as a single sale. Situated near Kodaiji Temple and the historic Ninenzaka area, the property enjoys an exceptional location within one of Kyoto’s most iconic cultural landscapes. Surrounded by stone-paved streets, traditional architecture, and the atmosphere of old Kyoto, this property offers a truly special setting. Both the west and east buildings have been fully renovated, preserving the traditional charm of Kyoto-style houses while introducing modern comfort and functionality. The property is currently in the process of registration for private lodging operation, which allows accommodation use for up to 180 days per year under Japan’s private lodging business system. The west building features an open living space where the tatami area, living room, and kitchen are seamlessly connected. With minimal partitions, the layout creates a bright and spacious atmosphere that blends traditional Japanese elements with contemporary living. The east building offers a distinctive layout with an earthen-floor entrance space leading toward the living area and counter kitchen. The Japanese-style room at the rear is used as a bedroom, creating a refined space where traditional and modern design coexist in harmony. Supervised by a well-known Taiwanese designer, the renovation carefully respects traditional architectural techniques while creating a sophisticated modern interior. The result is a unique Kyoto property that harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding historic streetscape. Located near Ninenzaka, the famous approach leading toward Kiyomizu-dera Temple, this property offers exceptional flexibility. It may be used as a private residence, second house, private lodging property, or event space for tea gatherings and other cultural activities. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully renovated Kyoto house in one of the city’s most memorable locations.
