D2 Kyoto Rare Popular Studio in the City Centre, Brand New Bathroom, Spacious Balcony, Near Nishiki Market and Takashimaya, Kamogawa, 2 Large + 2 Small, Lift

Room D2 is the only room in the building with a Japanese-style room from the Showa era. In March 2026, the bathroom and soundproof aluminium doors and windows were completely renovated. It is the best choice for experiencing the real life of Japanese people in the past. The area is 22 square metres, plus a balcony of about 25 square metres. Although it is equipped with two standard 140 cm × 200 cm double beds, it is still recommended for a maximum of two adults + 1 child, otherwise it will feel a bit crowded. You can walk to Nishiki Market, Kamogawa and Gion!Just a 5-second walk from the building is a hidden gem recommended by the Michelin Guide, the Old Town House Restaurant in Kyoto. You can enjoy Kyoto's traditional cuisine right outside your accommodation, and the prices are very reasonable. It's a rare local experience. In addition, if you turn right outside the building, in less than a minute, you will find a street with restaurants serving food from old townhouses [Kagariya Koji Kaikan]. You can also taste famous local specialities there. There is a 7-Eleven downstairs, about a 3-minute walk away, as well as [Gekiyasu Supermarket], which offers the best value for money in all of Kyoto. It has a wide range of fresh produce, seafood, fruit and bread, and the prices are more affordable than nearby supermarkets. With a private balcony and a large kitchen that retains the Showa style, you can experience the irreplaceable real life of Kyoto. There is a washing machine and basic cooking equipment, and the lift is convenient for large luggage and prams. You can book multiple rooms if you are travelling with friends or family. The advantage of our building is that there are four different rooms on each floor, and they are very close to each other. It is very convenient if a group of friends or family is coming together. If you need to stay on the same floor, we recommend booking early!I can communicate in Chinese, English and Japanese! There's a car park right next to us, which is also very convenient!We wish you a safe and enjoyable trip to Japan.

5 minutes on foot from Gion Sanjo Station, 3 minutes on foot from Higashiyama Station, 8 minutes on foot from Yasaka Shrine, 2 minutes on foot from convenience store [Zeroin Gion Sanjo] 2nd floor

Kyoto Sanjo, where the accommodation is located, is very well located and is very convenient for shopping, sightseeing, and dining. One of the things we are proud of is that we use Shigaraki-yaki pottery, one of the six ancient pots of Japan, in the bathtub so that visitors can spend a wonderful night in Gion. It is a 3-minute walk to Gion Shirakawa, and the road along the river is a popular spot with cherry blossoms in spring and willows in summer, attracting many people. But my favorite time is when there are no people at midnight. The river surface is glittering and magical, like another world. A few minutes walk away, there are Seion-in Temple and Chion-in Temple, famous for their autumn leaves, and in the spring, you can walk to Yasaka Shrine, famous for its weeping cherry blossoms Please experience "Gion" at my accommodation! We look forward to your visit.
