I recently went to the ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto to view a beautiful machiya house.
Machiya (町屋/町家) are traditional wooden townhouses found throughout Japan and typified in the historical capital of Kyoto. Machiya (townhouses) and nōka (farm dwellings) constitute the two categories of Japanese vernacular architecture known as minka (folk dwellings). Machiya originated as early as the Heian period and continued to develop through to the Edo period and even into the Meiji period. Machiya housed urban merchants and craftsmen, a class collectively referred to as chōnin (townspeople). The word machiya is written using two kanji: machi (町) meaning "town", and ya (家 or 屋) meaning "house" (家) or "shop" (屋) depending on the kanji used to express it. (from Wikipedia)

It is only 5 mins away from central Kyoto and all the facilities have
been pleasantly renovated to the modern standards and yet still well
maintained the chic style.
The asking price is 32.8 million yen (U$295,000)
If you are interested, please contact me.

By the way, I was born and raised in Kobe city which is sitting only one hour away from Kyoto city and I had a number of friends in Kyoto.

Despite the proximity, people's mentality in both cities is so different.

They even speak a different accent.

Kyoto-jin (Kyoto people) are generally so stuck up and snobbish and Kobe-jin

are generally more open to outsiders.

As a Japanese, I would NOT live in Kyoto.

Kyoto-jin is so sticky and you have to follow so many unwritten local rules.

Their politeness is almost always feigned politeness and they have

double character.
