Spacious Family Home in Kyoto's Historic Sagano District
This charming two-story wooden house in Kyoto's rightfully famous Sagano district offers 91.53 square meters of living space across four well-proportioned rooms plus a living-dining-kitchen area. Built in 1995, the property features a south-facing balcony, ample storage throughout, and includes one parking space. The layout includes a 13.7-jo first-floor living area, a 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room, and three 6-jo Western-style rooms on the second floor, providing versatile accommodation options.
The Sagano area is renowned for its serene bamboo groves and traditional atmosphere, offering a peaceful residential environment while remaining accessible to central Kyoto. An interesting local fact is that the area was historically a favored location for aristocrats to build their villas during the Heian period. The closest major landmark is the UNESCO World Heritage site Tenryu-ji Temple, a stunning Zen temple with one of Japan's most celebrated landscape gardens, located just a short distance from the property.
