Located near Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto, this house is convenient and quiet, and within walking distance from popular areas such as Nishiki Market, Kamogawa, Gion, Takashimaya.Many old townhouses in the center of Kyoto do not have an elevator, while there is an elevator attached to this building, making it even more relaxing for travelers with luggage, traveling with elders or small friends.

D5 Kyoto Kawaramachi Nishiki Market, great location, balcony with good natural light, walking distance to Kamogawa, Gion, Takashimaya [single bed + single bed], comfortable beds

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.

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.
