Accommodation in Kyoto, Japan

Accommodation during your studies in Kyoto

Finding the right student accommodation in Kyoto is an important first step for international students beginning their life in Japan’s ancient capital. Temple University Japan (TUJ) takes the complexity out of the process by offering a wide range of university-sponsored housing options, all fully furnished and move-in ready. Whether you are looking for a brand-new building close to campus or a more affordable option a short train ride away, TUJ has handled all the logistics — fees, deposits, contracts, utilities, and internet — so you can focus on settling into life in Kyoto.

Living in Kyoto is a genuinely unique experience. The city is quieter and more traditional than Tokyo, with ancient temples, bamboo forests, and historic neighbourhoods right on your doorstep, while still offering excellent public transport and all the amenities of a modern Japanese city.
