Overview
A Kyoto Estate Named by Prince Pujie
Shoreisai stands as a near-century-old residential legacy immediately adjacent to the Shugakuin Imperial Villa, the seventeenth-century retreat of Emperor Go-Mizunoo. Its former master, Nishimura Kiyoji — Chairman of Ritsumeikan University — shared a profound friendship with Aisin-Gioro Pujie, younger brother of China's last emperor, who bestowed upon the estate its name and wrote its original calligraphic name board, still on display within the walls today.
 
Offers a fully restored 322.86 sqm residence on 694.72 sqm of freehold land in Kyoto's most quietly prestigious northern district. The interior features four tatami rooms and three Western rooms, a sunken-hearth tearoom, an independent tea house, a modern kitchen, home sauna, and double bathroom facilities. The garden draws Mount Hiei as borrowed scenery.
 
Positioned a ten-minute walk from Miyake-Hachiman Station, residents enjoy proximity to Shūgakuin Imperial Villa, Rurikō-in, and Sekizan Zen-in. Comprehensively restored in November 2025, this estate represents a singular opportunity to own a living piece of Sino-Japanese cultural history.
