ゑびす小路: A Modern Townhouse Rental in Kyoto's Okazaki Area

This property, named "ゑびす小路" (Ebisu Koji), is a rental townhouse located in the popular Okazaki area of Kyoto. It is described as an "Imamachiya" (modern townhouse), designed to blend the atmosphere of a traditional Kyoto machiya with the functionality and layout required for modern living. The exterior features lattice windows and a tiled roof, contributing to the traditional streetscape. The property is part of a project that won the 2014 Kyoto Landscape Award (Architecture Division Encouragement Award) for its contribution to Kyoto's scenery.

The residence is situated along a private stone-paved alleyway, which is exclusive to residents and features carefully selected street lighting. The alley serves as both a communal space and an evacuation route. The property includes a living room, a Western-style room, a Japanese-style room, a bathroom, a washroom, a garden, and a bicycle parking space next to the entrance.
