If you are looking for a private room in Kyoto, the reality is that you can secure more privacy for the same rent by looking slightly outside the city center, along the subway and private railway lines.
While rent for private rooms tends to be higher in central areas like Kawaramachi and Karasuma, expanding your search to areas north of Kitaoji on the Karasuma Subway Line, along the Keihan or Eiden lines, or toward the Yamashina area makes it easier to find properties where you can enjoy a private room while still sharing common spaces. The areas around Doshisha University and Kyoto University also tend to have many private rooms geared toward students.
