Shijo Street is within an easy 9-minute walk and Nijō Castle is also a quick 13-minute walk away, so leave your car at the property, which offers covered onsite parking. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at either Nishioji-Sanjo Station, a short 7-minute walk away, or Nijo Station, 7 minutes away.

After you return, you can unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the balcony. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a dining area, luggage storage, and climate-controlled air-conditioning are featured at this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental.
