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

Matsushi Shijo Karasuma Hostel, King Deluxe Apartment 502

Before we start, here are 2 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our hostel: 1 - The LOCATION is simply amazing. We are at the center of everything and you can walk everywhere around town from our place. 2 - Our KING SIZE comfortable Bed. The bed is big/European size with new bed sheets, SUPER COMFY DUVET COVERS, and a great mattress. You will LOVE it once you stay in our hostel. Here are 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER before book our hostel: 1 - Our hostel placed in a quiet and charming area, and everyone comes here to enjoy the 'QUIET' in Kyoto. So DO NOT be noisy in our hostel at all times during your stay. 2 - Our room size is NOT THAT BIG(It's 22㎡)! Because of the amazing LOCATION, the housing rate here is REALLY REALLY HIGH. So we are trying to offer the BEST experience with just right room size at the BEST PRICE for you. 3 - The cleaning fee is NOT including daily house keeping. To give you the best living experience, we are using the best bed linen and Hotel Amenities. So in order to offer the best price on Airbnb, the cleaning fee is only for one time. And off course if you want the daily house keeping, we got some flexible cleaning plan for you. AIKA is the operating company of the Matsuishi Hostel and we are responsible for all operations of the Matsuishi Hostel.
