Kyoto, Kyoto 605-0927

Nestled in the heart of Kyoto's historic Higashiyama Ward, this charming traditional machiya offers a rare opportunity to own an income-generating property with a full-year inn license. Built in March 1927, the two-storey wooden house embodies the timeless beauty of Kyoto architecture while offering modern comforts for guests. Its prime location, just a 15-minute walk from the Keihan Main Line’s Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, places it within easy reach of the iconic Kiyomizu Temple and the cultural treasures of the area.

Set on approximately 75 sqm of land, with a building area of 66.77 sqm, the property has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its historic charm while accommodating the needs of contemporary travelers. Traditional features such as wooden beams and latticework create an authentic Kyoto ambiance, appealing to guests seeking an immersive cultural experience.

Currently operating as an inn, the property generates an impressive annual revenue of approximately ¥11,650,000, making it an attractive investment for those seeking both cultural significance and steady returns. The management system is designed for efficiency, requiring no on-site staff to operate.

This machiya is more than just a beautiful piece of Kyoto’s architectural heritage—it’s a fully operational hospitality business set in a location that continues to attract both domestic and international visitors year-round. Whether you’re looking for an investment, a hospitality venture, or a personal retreat steeped in history, this property presents an exceptional opportunity.

For future renovations or redevelopment, buyers should note Kyoto City's setback and cliff ordinances, as well as the presence of unregistered building extensions (currently under survey). The property tax for 2024 is set at ¥78,900.
