E2 Kyoto Shijō Kawaramachi Premium 4-Bedroom Apartment (4LDK) Near Takashimaya and Nishiki Market, Kamo River, Ideal for Gatherings, Large Dining Table, Lift, Western-Style Rooms and Japanese-Style Rooms, 26-Year-Old Building, Newly Refurbished Living Room
Thank you for your interest in our property, and welcome to Kyoto, the ancient capital of culture! We hope you find a place to stay that offers great service and is run with care! Our property is a quiet, spacious whole-floor property with a lift, located in the heart of Kyoto, in the sought-after Kawaramachi area❤️ We recommend that it can comfortably accommodate between 4 and 10 people! We finalised the following details for our room in March 2026. From now on, the experience will be even better than before! We have carefully selected distinctive Japanese materials, The main wall behind the living room TV is covered in a stylish, high-end woven-pattern wallpaper. This is Japan’s largest and world-renowned woollen fabric production area, and the overall space exudes a warm and cosy homey atmosphere. For this special toilet renovation, we used herringbone-patterned woven tiles, crafted with the exquisite, centuries-old Gifu Prefecture tile-making technique. These tiles create a dynamic three-dimensional effect as light and shadow play upon them. Mino-yaki ceramics have a history spanning approximately 1,300 years, and the tile industry has been producing these tiles for over a century, making them among the most technically challenging tiles to manufacture. We’ve also carefully upgraded the Dyson hairdryer, as well as the Dyson bladeless fan, a kettle from a Japanese design brand, a brand-new Daikin air conditioner (heating and cooling) in the living room, and the best shower head in Japan! The flooring is supplied by Asahi Wood, a century-old Japanese company, and is of the highest quality, costing three times more than Chinese products. We also take great care in choosing the bedding. We use a bed with individually pocketed springs, which is why guests have mentioned in their reviews that the bed is very comfortable to sleep on.We hope that when you visit Japan, you will have the opportunity to experience our attentive service, convenient facilities and excellent location. Thank you.

B2 property in Kyoto, Shijō, Kamogawa, Kawaramachi, with balcony and kitchen, close to Takashimaya, with small desk, suitable for both work and leisure [Luxury room – double bed + single bed]
Hello everyone, welcome to the best place in Kyoto, a quiet and convenient place where you can relax, our staff speak Chinese and English! We worked hard for two years to find this quiet and elevator building, and then spent another year negotiating with the owner to convince him to buy this building, which is really run by Japanese people, so you can experience 100% of Japanese daily life! We carefully decorated more than a dozen rooms in this building with different features and styles. Each room's theme is also handmade and painted by us. It takes about a month to open a new room. We are also very happy that our three Airbnb accounts have received more than 300 5-star Superhost reviews, and because we are also very careful in choosing bedding, you can see in the reviews that many customers say our beds are very comfortable! And we also attach great importance to cleaning, everyone knows that cleaning and outsourcing is the cheapest, but you will not feel the care and warmth, so our rooms are completely cleaned with the greatest care. Most of the good Airbnb accommodations in Kyoto do not have elevators, especially the old town houses. Sometimes we travel with our parents and children, and after experiencing the fatigue and hardships of the journey, we still have to move our luggage and climb the stairs to the upstairs room. It is a bit overwhelming. I hope everyone has a pleasant and safe trip. Everyone who comes to stay with us is in a good mood.
