Bright Japanese-Style Home in a Peaceful Area – Just 10 Minutes from Nanzen-ji



If you have an appreciation for design and are drawn to the beauty of Japanese aesthetics, Uta Yomi Dori is the perfect place for your stay. Thoughtfully renovated by a Japanese designer, this serene and luminous house reflects a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort.



Flooded with natural light through its large bay window, the house offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, comfortably accommodating up to five guests. The open-plan kitchen, complete with a central island, creates a sociable space ideal for cooking and gathering. Every corner of the home—furnished with carefully chosen pieces—reveals the owner’s passion for Japanese culture, from handcrafted décor to timeless design elements.



Natural materials such as wood are harmoniously integrated throughout, reinforcing a sense of calm and the Japanese reverence for nature. Dedicated areas for meditation and reflection further enhance the home’s tranquil ambiance.

Yet just a 10-minute walk away lies Nanzen-ji, one of Kyoto’s five great Zen temples—a breathtaking cultural landmark not to be missed. The home also enjoys close proximity to local restaurants, shops, and public transportation, making it as convenient as it is inspiring.
