Exclusive Listing · Japan
A three-storey timber shop-house from 1926 in central Kyoto, vacant, with separate shop and residence entrances.
This traditional Kyoto townhouse stands in the centre of the city, in a district of older commercial streets where such houses were built to trade from the front and live at the back. It is a three-storey timber building listed as built in 1926, with a registered area of about 287 square metres on about 159 square metres of freehold land. Two entrances preserve the shop-and-residence arrangement, and commercial zoning applies; several stations are within roughly 9 to 14 minutes on foot. An unregistered third-floor extension exceeds the building coverage ratio and needs advice. It suits a buyer with a hospitality, shop or residential idea.
Why This Opportunity
The land is held in ownership and the building stands in a central ward, within easy reach of a subway station.
Two separate entrances preserve the original shop-house layout, which allows trading space and living space to be used separately.
The registered building area of 287.36 square metres over three storeys on 159.47 square metres of land is substantial for a Kyoto townhouse.
The commercial zone allows a building coverage ratio of 80 per cent, and the property is said to suit a wide range of uses subject to permits.
The nearest station is nine minutes on foot, with two more about 13 to 14 minutes away, giving subway, rail and tram options.
The house is empty and handover is negotiable, so a buyer can plan works or a change of use without a tenancy to work around.
