Home in Yamashina, Kyoto
Amenities
Property Overview
Discover a unique opportunity to own a traditional Japanese home in Yamashina, one of Kyoto’s most accessible and charming suburban districts. This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom akiya (vacant house) offers the perfect blend of space, location, and potential—ideal for families, investors, or anyone ready to create their dream residence in Kyoto.
Location: Live Between City Life and Mountain Serenity
Yamashina Ward offers:

- Quick access to public transportation including Yamashina Station (JR, Subway, and Keihan lines)
- A family-friendly environment with parks, schools, grocery stores, and medical facilities
- Nature-rich surroundings with walking trails, temples, and mountain views
Perfect for commuters, nature lovers, and anyone looking to live just outside the historic core of Kyoto.
Interior Highlights: Roomy Layout with Renovation Potential

- Bright living and dining areas with large windows and natural light
- Traditional touches throughout, offering character and charm
- A functional kitchen and bathroom that serve as a great base for modernization
- Solid structure with the flexibility to customize and upgrade
Whether you’re planning a full renovation or a simple refresh, the layout and space allow for creative possibilities.
Outdoor Environment & Community Perks
