Description
This 7-bedroom house for sale in Kyoto is a 1973 wooden kominka with a private garden, a 9-minute walk from Momoyama-minamiguchi Station in Fushimi.
The two-storey timber house stands on a 264 m² plot, listed as freehold land. That is a lot of private ground for a city where most homes sit shoulder to shoulder with their neighbours. Inside there are 152 m² of living space and seven bedrooms. It also needs serious work, and this page says so plainly rather than hiding it behind talk of potential.
The Kominka and Its Garden
A kominka is a traditional Japanese timber house, and this one has the features you would hope for: authentic wood flooring and period architectural details from the early 1970s. The rooms are laid out over two floors, with closets and storage space throughout. Seven bedrooms make it a natural fit for a large family, a multi-generation household, or someone who wants room for a studio or workshop.
The garden is the real draw. It is surrounded by mature greenery, so it feels private even though you are in the city. You can picture morning tea on the balcony looking down on it, children playing outside, or a weekend spent pruning. The house also has bicycle and motorcycle parking, which suits the way people get around this part of Kyoto.
One bathroom serves all seven bedrooms. The bath, toilet, shower and wash basin are separate, which is the Japanese norm. The kitchen is functional but plain, and it is the obvious place to start a renovation.
Renovation Scope and Buying Conditions
The house is sold strictly as-is. Comprehensive structural repairs and interior renovations are needed before anyone moves in, so budget for a full restoration rather than a light refresh. Bring a surveyor or an architect experienced with timber buildings before you commit.
The house is occupied at the moment and will be available from mid-September 2026. Furniture and equipment visible in the photos are not included. Pets are negotiable.
The zoning allows a floor area ratio of 200% and a building coverage ratio of 60%. Ask your adviser what that means for extending or rebuilding on the plot.
Living in Fushimi, Kyoto
Momoyama Minamioshima-cho is a quiet residential pocket of Fushimi Ward, in the south of Kyoto. The nearest station is Momoyama-minamiguchi on the Keihan Uji Line, about nine minutes on foot. The line runs toward Uji, known for its tea and the Byodo-in temple. JR Rokujizo Station and Rokujizo Station on the subway are also nearby, and together they give you routes toward central Kyoto and Osaka.
Everyday errands are easy. Supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, clinics and schools are all within walking distance. The ground is flat and the roads are paved, so a bicycle is often quicker than a train for local trips.
Fushimi has its own character. It is one of Japan's best-known sake-brewing districts, and Fushimi Inari Taisha, with its tunnels of red torii gates, is in the same ward. Most international visitors fly into Kansai International Airport near Osaka and reach Kyoto by rail.
Buying a Second Home in Japan
Japan generally does not restrict foreign buyers from owning property, and you do not need to live in the country to buy. For a second home in Japan, this house is a project rather than a turnkey purchase. A timber house also needs regular airing and upkeep while you are away, so plan for a local contact to look after it.
