IVY uses "1K" which was mainstream around 1985-1995. . The rental property specifications reflect that era. "1K", which can be said to be the product of the bubble period, is the first single type in Japan with a private toilet and shower in the private room! There was no washing machine in 1K at this time, and it was common sense to use a coin laundry for washing alone. In the bubble period, land in Tokyo Ginza with an area of ​​one cigarette box was 100 million yen. It was an era when land prices were the highest in the world. Rents for rent are also expensive, and in order to reduce rent, all equipment must be installed efficiently in a small space. It was a dream property for young people at a time when they had to live alone in the city to go to a good university or a good company. Here, unlike accommodation for sightseeing, it is a residence where old Japanese lived normally. It is a valuable space where you can shop, eat, and simulate living in Kyoto. It is a small Japanese size, but please enjoy it as a valuable experience.
