Spacious and serene home in Kyoto’s scenic Keihoku region
Discover a beautifully spacious family home or a promising investment opportunity nestled in the tranquil, picturesque surroundings of Keihoku in Kyoto City. Located at Yamada, Keihokuidochō, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto 601-0313, this property offers a perfect balance between rural serenity and convenient car access to Kyoto’s renowned cultural landmarks.
Listed at approximately $50,000 (based on 7,000,000 JPY at 1 USD = 140 JPY; purchase costs not included), this two-story wooden home was reportedly built in November 2008. Although the structure is unregistered and some details are approximate, it offers a generous 3LDK plus storage layout, with an estimated 198 m² (2,131 ft²) of building area on a 247 m² (2,659 ft²) plot.
The interior features a spacious 33-tatami (approximately 54 m² / 586 ft²) living, dining, and kitchen area with a vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of openness. The modern open-plan kitchen includes a counter-style layout and an IH cooktop, making it ideal for cooking while engaging with family or guests.
The home also includes a Western-style bedroom (8.5 tatami / approximately 14 m²), a traditional tatami room (10 tatami / approximately 17 m²), and a 4.5-tatami storage room (approximately 7 m²) that can be used as a small office or hobby space. A free space on the second floor offers additional flexibility. The bathroom features a deep black bathtub and a window for ventilation. The toilet includes a hand-washing sink and a wide vanity. The entrance is marked by double doors and a wide hall that adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
Positioned on elevated ground, the property includes a private courtyard that is ideal for gardening, barbecues, or outdoor relaxation. While specific information about nearby stations is not available, the property is best accessed by car and offers a peaceful lifestyle away from the city.
The location provides convenient access to Kyoto’s top attractions. The famous Arashiyama area, known for its bamboo forest, World Heritage temples such as Tenryu-ji, and the scenic Togetsukyo Bridge, is reachable in about 45 minutes by car. This makes the property suitable as a residence, vacation home, or guesthouse with rental potential.
This is a compelling opportunity for foreign investors seeking a unique asset in a high-demand destination, or for those looking to enjoy a spacious home in nature with convenient access to Kyoto’s cultural highlights.
