Situated in the historical district, this welcoming vacation home brings all of Kyoto within your reach. Your feet will make short work of the 14-minute walk to Shijo Street or the 13-minute walk to Umekoji Park. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at either Shijo-omiya Station, a short 12-minute walk away, or Omiya Station, 12 minutes away.

This 2-bedroom rental features a down comforter, luggage storage, climate-controlled air-conditioning, and blackout drapes/curtains.
