Living in Uzumasa

A quiet residential area in Ukyo Ward where the Toei Uzumasa Movie Village coexists with Koryu-ji, founded in 603 (home to a National Treasure Maitreya statue). You can use three lines, JR, the subway and the Randen tram, and its strengths are being within 15 minutes of Kyoto Station and having low rents. However, Osaka requires a transfer, and going via private railways takes over 1 hour 20 minutes.

This is a residential area in Ukyo Ward known for its movie village, served by the Randen and the JR Sagano Line. A quiet neighborhood where the Toei Uzumasa Movie Village and temples blend together, it has access to the city center and Arashiyama via Randen and JR, and rents are low. Being away from the city center, it has few large commercial facilities. It is a solid choice for families who want low housing costs along with a calm environment.
