Description
This three-storey house for sale in Kyoto is in Shimogyo-ku, five minutes on foot from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station on the Keihan Main Line.
It has 169 m² of living space, three bedrooms and an 88 m² freehold plot. The listing describes it as being in good condition. If you want a base in Kyoto where you can walk to the temples in the morning and be on a train by lunchtime, the location does most of the work for you.
The House: 169 m² Over Three Floors
The house is built upward rather than outward, as you would expect on a compact city plot. Three floors let the layout separate daily living from sleeping. The 3LDK arrangement gives you three bedrooms plus a living room, dining area and kitchen. According to the source details, the living room has large windows and plenty of daylight, and the dining area sits right beside the kitchen, so cooking and eating happen in the same space.
The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and storage. The three bedrooms are all usable as they are. One can become a guest room, another a home office, which matters if you plan to work remotely from Japan for part of the year. There is one bathroom, with a separate toilet and a dedicated washroom area.
A balcony or veranda gives you outdoor space. No private garden is listed, so think potted plants and a chair for morning tea rather than a lawn. The energy label is not stated, so ask for it if running costs matter to you.
Living in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto
Shimogyo-ku puts you in the middle of the city's best-known sights. Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the Gion district and the Kamogawa River are all within easy reach of Kiyomizu-Gojo Station. Around you are everyday shops, cafés, restaurants and local markets, so you can eat well without planning a trip across town.
You can do most things on foot or by train. Kyoto is a city where many residents don't need a car. For a second home that you may leave empty for weeks at a time, that is a real advantage.
Getting There: Airports and Trains
The Keihan Main Line from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station runs south towards Osaka, and it connects you to the wider rail network. Kyoto Station, with its Shinkansen services, is also in Shimogyo-ku. From there the bullet train to Tokyo takes roughly two and a half hours.
For international arrivals, Kansai International Airport is the usual gateway. The Haruka limited express to Kyoto Station takes about 75 to 90 minutes depending on the service. Osaka Itami Airport handles domestic flights and is also within reach of the city.
Buying a Second Home in Japan
One point in this house's favour is that the land is offered freehold. In general, foreign buyers can purchase property in Japan without needing to live there, though the paperwork, taxes and fees differ from what you may know from Europe, so a bilingual agent and a local legal adviser are worth the cost.
As a second home in Japan, a three-storey house in central Kyoto is straightforward to look after, with no garden to maintain. Anyone thinking of short-term letting should check Kyoto's rules on holiday rentals before relying on that income, because they are strict. Kyoto real estate in a convenient, well-connected district tends to hold its appeal, but ask for the full cost picture before making an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is this house from Kansai International Airport?
The usual route is the Haruka express to Kyoto Station, which takes about 75 to 90 minutes, followed by a short train or taxi ride to Kiyomizu-Gojo.
Does it suit holiday rental?
The location is attractive to visitors, but Kyoto regulates short-term rentals closely. Check the current rules and any licence requirements before you count on rental income.
