Kyoto Machiya Approved for 180-Day Minpaku Operation (West & East Buildings)
248M JPY

Located in the prestigious World Heritage area of Kodai-ji in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward, this unique property is offered as a combined sale of two adjoining two-story houses (West and East buildings).
These traditional Kyoto-style kominka townhouses have undergone a full renovation, blending modern comfort with the refined character of historic architecture.
An application has been submitted under Japan’s Private Lodging Business Act, allowing for up to 180 days of annual minpaku (short-term rental) operation for this property.
The West house features an open-concept living space that seamlessly integrates a tatami area with the main living room.
With no partition walls, the kitchen, Japanese-style room, and living area flow together, enhancing the spacious atmosphere of this beautifully restored kominka property.

The East house offers a distinctive layout, highlighted by a doma-style entrance floor that extends from the entryway to the living table and counter kitchen.
A Japanese-style room positioned toward the rear serves as a bedroom, creating a refined interior within this kominka-inspired property, where traditional and modern elements harmoniously coexist.

FLOOR PLAN

This rare property is located near Ninenzaka, one of Kyoto’s most iconic historic streets leading to the World Heritage site Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Under the supervision of a renowned Taiwanese designer, both houses have been fully renovated in a contemporary style while preserving traditional construction techniques characteristic of a Kyoto kominka.
The flexible layout allows this property to be used as a guesthouse, a second home, or an event space for tea ceremonies and cultural gatherings.
We invite you to experience the unique charm of this exceptional Kyoto property in person.
