D2 Kyoto Shijō Kawaramachi — Excellent Location with Balcony, Near Takashimaya and Nishiki Market, Within Walking Distance of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Yasaka Shrine [Japanese-Style Room for 2 Adults + 2 Children]
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! 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 townhouses. Sometimes we take our parents and children out to travel, and after experiencing the fatigue and hardships of the trip, 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 and a good mood. New bathroom and shower head replaced in March 2025

For this renovation, we specifically chose materials with Japanese character.The feature wall is made of mosaic tiles produced by a century-old tile factory in Gifu Prefecture. The tiles reveal different colors depending on the light and shadow, a highly distinctive Japanese craftsmanship technique. The kitchen is equipped with premium Japanese brands, the faucet features a design that won the German Red Dot Design Award, and the induction cooktop is a Mitsubishi IH cooktop from Japan, known for its superior safety and quality. The flooring features high-quality flooring from Asahi Wood Industry, a century-old Japanese company. We have accumulated many 5-star Superhost reviews on our Airbnb account, and many guests have mentioned in their reviews that our beds are very comfortable. We hope you will enjoy our carefully managed and conveniently located space when you visit Kyoto. We look forward to welcoming you as our guest. Thank you.
