Description
This two-story house is located on a quiet alley north of Imadegawa Street in Kamigyo Ward.
Kamigyo Ward is renowned for such craftsmanships as Nishijin textiles and has many famous temples and srhries. Such location creates a quiete, cozy atmosphere, in contrast to the neiboring Nakagyo-ku, which has a strong downtown and business atmosphere. The Karasuma subway line, Kyoto’s main line, runs through the area from north to south. Imadegawa Station, the nearest station to this property (7-minute walk), is also the nearest station to Kyoto Imperial Palace, Doshisha University (Imadegawa Campus), and Shokokuji Temple. The surrounding historical sites and educational institutions make it a town where education and history come alive.
There is also a stone monument nearby, the site of the Ashikaga clan’s flourishing “Hana no Gosho,” which was the origin of the Muromachi Shogunate, and many other places associated with the turbulent late Muromachi and Sengoku (warring) periods, so history buffs will never be bored here.
The area to the north of the property encompasses the residences of the Omotesenke and Urasenke tea ceremony masters, and the stone-paved streets there create an unique ambience of Kyoto.
