D1 in the heart of Kyoto, with an elevator and balcony, a brand-new bathroom and bathtub, comfortable for long stays, a rare Showa-era kitchen experience, and within walking distance of Nishiki Market, Kamogawa, and Gion.

Located in the Shijo Kawaramachi living area of Kyoto, within walking distance of Nishiki Market, Kamo River, Gion, and major shopping districts. Turn left downstairs from the building and walk for 5 seconds to find a little-known hidden gem, a Kyoto old townhouse restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide. Step out of the accommodation and you can taste the flavors of the ancient capital of Kyoto in a space full of history. The food is delicious and the price is very reasonable, making it a rare local experience. In addition, if you turn right outside the building, in less than 1 minute, you will find an old townhouse gourmet restaurant street [Kagariya Koji Kaikan], where you can also taste famous Kansai specialties. There is a 7-Eleven downstairs with a wide selection of rice balls, bread, coffee, fruit, and various meals. About a 3-minute walk away, there is also [Gekiyasu Supermarket], the most worthwhile and cost-effective supermarket in all of Kyoto, with a wide selection of fresh produce, seafood, fruits, bread, and daily necessities, and prices are generally more affordable than nearby supermarkets! The room features a comfortable double bed, a private balcony, and a large kitchen that retains the Showa style, allowing you to experience the irreplaceable real life of Kyoto. It is suitable for 2-3 people to stay comfortably. In March 2026, the bathroom and bathtub were completely renovated. Aluminum doors and windows, a washing machine, and basic cooking equipment combine retro features with modern comfort. The building has an elevator, making it easier to carry large luggage, strollers, or travel with the elderly. Family and friends traveling together can book multiple rooms separately; rooms with the same first English letter in the name are on the same floor. We will help with arrangements based on room availability. Our staff can communicate in Chinese, English, and Japanese to make your trip to Kyoto more comfortable and worry-free. There is a parking lot right next door! We wish you a smooth 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.
