Description of the house


The house is in a single block (21m2): downstairs equipped kitchen, shower room and small dining area overlooking the adjoining garden.
A Japanese black tatami lounge, usually used for famous temples, completes the ground floor. A washing machine is then located under the shed outside.


At the other end of the house is a comfortable living room equipped with a table and chairs overlooking the neighboring garden.


A mezzanine completes the house. It has a comfortable double futon

The neighborhood


The house is very quiet, in the heart of a residential area and very close to all the tourist sites of the Gion district (Higashiyama district), famous for its geishas and its picturesque streets. The house is a 15-minute walk from the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a UNESCO heritage site.
