E1 Kyoto Shijō Kawaramachi, suitable for 6 to 10 people, in a quiet and convenient location. It features both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms, with a large table for family and friends to relax and chat. The balcony offers a view of Higashiyama.

Can you imagine a place in this ancient capital where you can relax and strengthen the bonds with your family and friends?This is a place that no hotel can replace!Imagine a group of 4 to 10 family members travelling together. Everyone, from a one-year-old baby to a 90-year-old elder, can go downstairs, turn left, and walk for 5 seconds to reach the hidden Michelin-starred restaurant, Komachiya, in Kyoto. Just outside the accommodation, you can enjoy delicious Kyoto cuisine in a space steeped in history, 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 Kansai specialities there. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs!It's about a 3-minute walk, and there's also [Gekiyasu Supermarket], the best value-for-money supermarket in all of Kyoto. It has a wide range of seafood, fruit, bread and everyday items, and prices are generally more affordable than nearby supermarkets! Imagine this: bringing back ice cream and peaches from the supermarket in summer with your beloved family and friends, and buying Japanese-style oden from 7-Eleven in winter. The whole family enjoying these treats together at this big table. How wonderful would that experience be!You can also walk 7 minutes to Nishiki Market and buy all the most famous Kyoto desserts, side dishes and sake dishes. How wonderful it would be to sit together at a large table, enjoy the evening, relax, have a few drinks and chat! This is your "Kyoto no aya" (warm home in Kyoto). The home has a large car park ready for you, as well as a balcony where you can breathe in the fresh air and enjoy a view of Kiyomizu-dera Temple on Mt. Higashiyama. Welcome to your home in Kyoto ❤️❤️
