A Modern Family Home in Kyoto's Historic Arashiyama District
This recently constructed detached house, built in December 2022, offers a spacious 4LDK layout within a quiet residential area of Kyoto's Ukyo Ward. The property features a total floor area of 107.64 sqm (approximately 32.56 tsubo) on a generous land plot of 148.77 sqm (about 45.00 tsubo). The two-story wooden structure is situated in a City Planning Area designated as a Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 40% and a floor area ratio of 80%.
Critical details from the agent notes include the road access situation: the property fronts a single road to the south, which is a public road with a width of 4 meters and a frontage of 6.5 meters; there is no designated position. Additional remarks clarify the terrain is flat. Parking is available, though suitability may depend on the vehicle type. The road type is a combination of public and private roads.
The home is conveniently located within an 8-minute walk from the Keifuku Kitano Line's "Ryoanji" station and a 10-minute walk from "Myoshinji" station, providing excellent access to central Kyoto. The surrounding Ukyo Ward is renowned for its blend of natural beauty and deep cultural history, being the gateway to the famed Arashiyama bamboo groves. An interesting local fact is that the area's Ryoanji Temple is home to Japan's most famous karesansui (dry landscape) rock garden, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose 15 rocks are arranged so that one is always hidden from view from any vantage point.
