Description
This three-bedroom house for sale in Kyoto sits in the Sagano district of Ukyo Ward, close to Tenryuji Temple and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. It is a two-storey timber home on a 338 m² freehold plot, with 124 m² of living space, a garden and parking for two cars. Exposed wooden beams run through the main rooms, and the interior has been renovated so you can move in straight away. This is a proper Japanese house with room around it, in one of the quietest corners of western Kyoto, not a flat in a tower block.
The Timber House and Its 338 m² Plot
The layout is 3LDK: three bedrooms plus a living and dining area with kitchen, spread over two above-ground floors. On top of the walk-in closets and the storage built into each room, there are two separate storage rooms. That is rare in a Japanese house of this size, and it is handy if you want to keep seasonal belongings, hobby gear or luggage on site between visits.
Solid wood flooring was installed throughout, and the exposed beams give the living spaces a warm, low-lit feel that new-build apartments seldom manage. The house also has traditional Japanese-style rooms. Use one as a guest room, a study, or a quiet corner for tea.
Outside, the plot leaves space for a garden, and there is private parking for two cars. In a city of narrow streets, off-street parking is a real advantage.
Renovation, Kitchen and Bathroom
The house has recently been renovated, and you notice the work on day one. The kitchen is new: a Japanese system kitchen with a dishwasher and all-electric appliances. The unit bath is new too, with an auto-fill tub, a bathroom TV and a hot water supply. Toilet and bath are separate, and there is a separate washbasin and powder room, which makes busy mornings far easier for a family.
The update also covered the exterior, a repainted entrance door and partial interior repainting. The house is vacant and available for immediate occupancy, so there is no waiting for tenants to leave. Condition is good, and nothing in the data points to major work still ahead.
Living in Sagano, Ukyo Ward
Sagano is western Kyoto's district of temples and bamboo. Tenryuji, a UNESCO World Heritage temple, and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove are the famous names, with the Katsura River and Togetsukyo Bridge nearby. Locals know to walk the grove early, before the tour groups arrive. From a house here, that is an easy habit to adopt.
The property stands in a Category 1 low-rise exclusive residential district. That zoning keeps buildings low and the streets residential, so the neighbourhood stays calm even though the sights are close. Shops and cafes are within reach.
Families should note the school districts: Saga Elementary School is about 900 metres away and Saga Junior High School about 1.7 kilometres. As a holiday home in Kyoto, the area suits anyone who wants to see the cherry blossom in spring and the maple leaves in November without staying in a hotel.
Getting Around: Trains and Airports
Saga-Arashiyama Station on the JR Sanin Main Line is roughly a 19-minute walk from the house. From there, Kyoto Station is about 15 minutes by train, and the rest of the city and the Kansai region open up from that hub. Kansai International Airport is the usual gateway for overseas buyers. The Haruka express runs from the airport to Kyoto Station in about 75 minutes, and the JR line takes you the rest of the way.
Buying Kyoto Real Estate as an International Buyer
Japan generally places no nationality restriction on buying property, and this plot is freehold. For a second home in Japan, the practical questions are about ownership from abroad. Non-resident owners typically appoint a tax representative in Japan, and someone needs to look after the house while you are away. For this property, support is available with arranging a tax representative, property management for second homes and maintenance and repairs, plus rental management if you later decide to let it.
