Kyoto / Foreigners Welcome share houses

If you are looking to move to Kyoto and want to confirm right away whether a property accepts international residents, the quickest way is to narrow your search to share houses that welcome foreigners, which often have more flexible requirements regarding residence cards and guarantors.

While the central areas of Karasuma and Shijo-Kawaramachi—where many universities and language schools are located—are convenient but slightly more expensive, you can find more affordable rent by expanding your search to areas along the Karasuma Subway Line, such as Kita-Oji and Kitayama, or along the Keihan Line in Fushimi and Uji. These areas are well-suited for those staying long-term for study or work. Another advantage of these properties is the opportunity to live with a diverse, international community.
