The dining area and Japanese-style room on the first floor exude a subdued brilliance, while the high-ceilinged bedroom on the second floor retains traditional townhome beams, offering a sense of charm. The kitchen and other wet areas have been fully modernized for ease of use.

Two stations from "Kyoto Station."
