Upstairs, a cozy sloped-ceiling bedroom enjoys south-facing sunlight throughout the day, while added insulation improves comfort and soundproofing.
Step outside into authentic Kyoto streets, just minutes from one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks. Ideal for an Airbnb venture or for those who truly love the heart of Kyoto. A rare central Kyoto opportunity.
