The Demachiyanagi area is surrounded by lush greenery, including the Kamo River Delta, where the Kamo River and Takano River meet, and Shimogamo Shrine, a World Heritage Site. The Demachiyanagi area is also home to the Demachi Masugata shopping street and old Japanese confectionery shops, making it a great area for eating out.   Just a 10 minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station is the 8NEST Share House 【8NEST Hyakumanben】. People from all over the world are living together in this share house while enjoying international exchange. Kyoto University and Kyoto Zokei University are within walking distance, and the convenience stores and supermarkets are close by, making it a popular location for students as well! There are 2 shower rooms, 2 toilets, and 9 rooms with a refrigerator, washing machine and TV (you can bring in your own TV), and everything you need is provided, so you don’t need to prepare for anything. There is also a cafe on the first floor of the same building (open from 11am-10pm), so it’s very convenient! The caretaker is also a woman, so you can feel free to talk to her about it, and even living alone for the first time can be a relief!
