Kinugasa Old House
Kita Ward, Kyoto City
An old Japanese house built in the 1970s that is only a 2 minutes walk away from the gate to the Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) temple. The bus stop is only 1 minute walk away which takes you to subway train stations as well as JR Kyoto station. This petite and elegant house comes with a tea room (needs repair) facing the road, and two more rooms on the 1st floor. The Tatami room facing north on the 2nd floor is where you can have a clear view of the Gozan no Okuribi (Mountain Bonfire) every summer. Every room inside the house has a window that allows for more natural light and ventilation.
