Step back in time with this beautiful $110K traditional Japanese home in Kyoto. Built around 1940, this authentic single-story house has been intentionally left untouched, preserving the timeless charm of the Showa era. Offering approximately 85㎡ of living space with 3 bedrooms, a storage room, and a sunny private garden, it's the perfect opportunity to create your dream home while respecting its incredible character. 🌿
Original details can still be found throughout the house, from the retro glass windows and colorful vintage bathroom tiles to the exposed wooden beams that tell the story of decades past. Located just a 5min walk from Misasagi Station, you can reach central Kyoto with ease while enjoying a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by greenery, canals, and scenic walking paths.
Even better, the world-famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple is only about a 10min drive away, allowing you to enjoy one of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks whenever you like. ⛩️ Convenience stores, supermarkets, and drugstores are all within walking distance, making daily life both practical and relaxing.
