B3 Stay in a Kyotoite's urban small house, Yonjo Kawaramachi, private balcony, brand new bathroom, comfortable bed, high-speed Wi-Fi, walking distance to Kamogawa Nishiki Market and Gion
Are you still looking for two beds for two people? Are you still three people who don't know how to book a room? Are you still looking for a warm and quiet home in Kyoto? This B3 is the best choice! Turn left at the bottom of the building and walk for 5 seconds to find a hidden gem of a Kyoto machiya restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide that few people know about. As soon as you step out of the accommodation, you can savor the flavors of ancient Kyoto in a space steeped in history. The food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable, making it a rare local experience. In addition, if you turn right outside the building, in less than a minute, you will find a street of gourmet restaurants in the old townhouses [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 other food options. 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 variety of seafood, fruits, bread, and daily necessities, and prices are generally more affordable than nearby supermarkets! B3 is a 23㎡ residence with a comfortable double bed + a separate single bed, a private balcony, a kitchen, and laundry facilities. It is most recommended for a comfortable stay for 2 people, and is also suitable for couples with children or small families. If 3 adults are traveling with several large pieces of luggage, we recommend booking the larger rooms on the 1st or 5th floor. The bathroom and bathtub will be completely renovated in March 2026. The building has aluminum doors and windows and an elevator, making it easier to carry large pieces of luggage, strollers, or travel with elderly family members. If you are traveling with family or friends, you can book multiple rooms separately. If the first letter of the room names is the same, it means they are on the same floor. We will help with the arrangements based on room availability. Make your trip to Kyoto even more worry-free and comfortable. We wish you a smooth and enjoyable trip to Japan.

The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable, making it a rare local experience. In addition, if you turn right outside the building, in less than a minute, you will find a street of gourmet restaurants in the old townhouses [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 the most worthwhile and cost-effective [Gekiyasu Supermarket] in all of Kyoto, with a wide variety of fresh produce, seafood, fruit, bread, and everyday items, 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 Kyoto life. 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 nostalgic 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 their names are on the same floor. We will help with the arrangements based on room availability. Our staff can communicate in Chinese, English, and Japanese, making your trip to Kyoto even more worry-free and comfortable. There's a parking lot right next to us! Wishing you a smooth and enjoyable trip to Japan.
