Most convenient neighborhoods in Kyoto City: Top 20
Among neighborhoods in the city of Kyoto whose other scores (safety, childcare, quiet) all hold up, we ranked by the density of supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, medical facilities and restaurants within walking distance (OpenStreetMap data). That gate keeps downtown cores from topping the list on facility count alone. The top 20 cluster in Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku (9) and Kyoto-shi Minami-ku (3).
