So, I’ve lived in Kyoto a few years now and am pretty much a serial neighborhood explorer. Currently live near Demachiyanagi but starting a new job where faster access to Kyoto Station would be a big plus.
My question for locals is, what neighborhood with easy access either to the Karasuma subway line or the San-In line would you recommend? I have my own ideas based on my explorations but that’s not the same as first-hand living experience. Single so access to schools is of no relevance – I’m thinking in terms of walkability, interesting shops & restaurants, etc.. Currently looking at places like Gosho Nishi and Karasuma Oike (which would be top class for convenience but is pretty expensive).
Thanks in advance for the advice!
