Turnkey Machiya Just Off Gojo Street — Renovated, and Rental-Ready.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, authentic Kyo-machiya tucked just off Gojo Street in central Kyoto — walking distance to major landmarks and transport, yet quietly nestled in a sunny alleyway. Less than 7 minutes on foot from Gojo Station, and only 5 minutes to both Higashi Hongan-ji and Nishi Hongan-ji temples, this home blends traditional charm with modern comfort.

The property has been lovingly restored by the Heritage Homes team, preserving its original timber columns and Kyoto-style façade while reimagining the interior for modern living. Features include a brand-new kitchen, bath, WC, lighting, and a restructured lofted bedroom + tatami room layout. A rare find in this price range — fully move-in ready, with Minpaku (short-term rental) potential.
