Most convenient neighborhoods in Kyoto: Top 20
Among neighborhoods in Kyoto Prefecture 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 Muko-shi (4) and Nagaokakyo-shi (4).
