Old Houses Japan

Property Overview

Set in the scenic and accessible district of Yamashina in Kyoto, this spacious 6-bedroom, 1-bathroom akiya offers an incredible opportunity for families, investors, or buyers looking to restore a traditional Japanese home. With its generous layout and serene location, this property is a standout choice for anyone seeking charm, space, and potential in the heart of Kyoto.

Prime Location in Yamashina Ward, Kyoto

Yamashina is known for:

• Being just a short commute from central Kyoto via Yamashina Station (JR, subway, and Keihan lines)
• A peaceful suburban atmosphere with mountain views and walking trails
• Convenient access to parks, schools, shopping centers, and hospitals
• A rich cultural landscape with temples, shrines, and traditional community character

Live in one of Kyoto’s most desirable districts, with a perfect balance between quiet living and city convenience.

Property Features and Layout

• Six spacious bedrooms – ideal for large families, guests, or multi-use spaces like home offices or studios
• Open, sunlit living and dining areas designed for comfort and functionality
• Flexible floor plan with potential for modern renovation
• Traditional architectural details including tatami mats, sliding shoji doors, and wooden beams
• Functional kitchen and bath areas awaiting thoughtful upgrades

Perfect for those who appreciate traditional aesthetics and want the freedom to update the space for modern living.

Outdoor and Community Highlights

• Quiet and family-friendly neighborhood in eastern Kyoto
• Walking distance to parks, local shops, and essential services
• Surrounded by green hills, riverside paths, and peaceful scenery
• Excellent public transportation links for easy access to Kyoto Station and city attractions

Why This Home Stands Out

• Rare 6-bedroom property in city-accessible Kyoto
• Strong potential for renovation, resale, or rental income
• Desirable location for families, remote workers, or cultural enthusiasts
• A chance to preserve and personalize a piece of traditional Japanese architecture
