D2 Kyoto Rare Downtown Popular Studio Experience, Brand New Bathroom, Spacious Balcony, Near Nishiki Market, Takashimaya, Kamo River, for 2 adults + 2 children, with Elevator

Room D2 is the only room in the building from the Showa era. In March 2026, the bathroom and soundproof aluminum doors and windows were completely renovated. It is the best choice to experience the real Japanese lifestyle of the past. The area is 22 square meters, and with the balcony, it is about 25 square meters. Although it is equipped with two standard 140cm × 200cm 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!A 5-second walk from the building is the little-known hidden gem restaurant, Omakaya, recommended by the Michelin Guide. You can enjoy Kyoto's ancient capital cuisine right outside your accommodation, and the prices are also very reasonable. It's a rare local experience. In addition, there is an old Machiya gourmet restaurant street [Kagariya Koji Kaikan] less than a minute's walk to the right of the building, where you can also taste famous local dishes. There is a 7-Eleven downstairs, about 3 minutes on foot, and [Gisan Supermarket], which has the best value for money in all of Kyoto, with a wide variety of fresh produce, seafood, fruits, and bread, and prices that are more affordable than nearby supermarkets. Private balcony and large kitchen with a preserved Showa-style design, offering an irreplaceable experience of authentic Kyoto living. Washing machine and basic cooking equipment are provided. The elevator is convenient for large luggage and baby carriages. Multiple rooms can be booked for friends and family traveling together. 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 and family are coming together. If you need to stay on the same floor, we recommend booking in advance!Communication is available in Chinese, English, and Japanese! There's a parking lot right next to us, which is also very convenient!We wish you a safe and pleasant 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.
