Just an 8-minute walk from Nison-in Temple, 5 minutes from Rakushisha, 7 minutes from Jojakkoji Temple, and 12 minutes from the famous Bamboo Forest, this home is located in the beautiful Sagano area, surrounded by scenic views that continue to captivate many visitors. In spring, cherry blossoms dance in the air, while the rainy season brings out a lush green gradient in the moss. As autumn deepens, the fiery red leaves are especially breathtaking. Living here allows you to fully experience and embrace the changing seasons of Kyoto.

 

This property is located just a step off the path leading to Seiryoji Temple, tucked into a peaceful residential area. As you turn a small corner, the dry gravel path ahead is lined with delicate seasonal wildflowers swaying in the breeze. Though in a residential district, the air is crisp and pure, a testament to the natural beauty of the Sagano area. It sits just outside the busy tourist spots, offering a serene and quiet atmosphere. As you continue down the path, a bright open courtyard comes into view, leading to the main house and a two-story annex. The garden features a stunning Japanese maple, spreading its branches to create a gentle, shaded retreat.

 

The main house opens out towards the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. You can relax on the veranda and admire the view or use the space like an open café, merging the inside with the outside for a refreshing living experience. The high ceilings of the single-story house offer a spacious feel, while the compact layout provides a cozy and comfortable lifestyle. The flowing, open-plan design promotes a sense of connection with family and offers the stability of being close to the ground.

 

The charming wooden windows of the annex make it perfect for a study, bedroom, or personal retreat. The space is large enough to accommodate two people comfortably while maintaining a pleasant sense of privacy.

 

 

The building itself is well-preserved, with stylish tokonoma alcoves, old beams, and materials that exude natural beauty and quality. For those seeking a compact yet expansive living experience, this home will be carefully renovated to bring out its full potential. It promises to deliver excitement and joy to those who desire a unique and fulfilling lifestyle in a smaller, more intimate setting.
