If you want to live close to work and keep your rent down in Kyoto, focusing your search on the city center and areas along subway and private railway lines is the best way to go.
The Karasuma Subway Line (between Kitaoji and Takeda), the Hankyu Kyoto Line, and the Keihan Main Line provide convenient access to Shijo-Karasuma and Kawaramachi, and these locations also make it easy to commute to the Demachiyanagi and Kitashirakawa areas, where many universities and offices are concentrated. A share house with private rooms allows you to keep rent costs low while still ensuring you have your own personal space, and for those commuting toward Osaka, areas along the JR Kyoto Line are also a great option.
A furnished share house near Kyoto Sta. Residents are mostly in their 30s, with some international residents. Ideal if you want to socialize and enjoy a lively house.
