Waterfront apartment accommodation

5 min from JR Namba near Dotonbori Horie YouTube
We stayed with a family of four and the biggest advantage is that it has access to Dotonbori and Namba stations in a good location. If you are 4 adults, the room may be small, but if you are a family of one or two children, it is a good size. The room is clean and there are plenty of towels, so you can stay for 2 days without any inconvenience. Definitely a great place to stay for the price.

Walkable distance from airbnb to attraction such as shinsaibashi. Airbnb provides everything we need. The host was very friendly and welcoming to give us some local snacks to try. Also, very responsive to all our request.

Dotonbori 5 min walk! Riverfront Large room!
This apartment was very well located and within walking distance to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. It has also 3 bedrooms which is great for a family and apart from the crows each morning and the boat on Saturday night along the Dotonbori the rooms were all very peaceful to sleep in. There is also a balcony which is useful to step out and get some air. The host was also super friendly and responsive. Great place to stay!

We loved our stay at Kikka’s place. It was in the best location possible, easy to check in and so clean! We would definitely stay again, thank you!

Sakura River Inn 1 (most reviewed in Kyoto)
Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

仲夏 summer dream
Superior location, right next to the footbath, the balcony view is beautiful.The house is quiet.

Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ Wood bath/ 1st floor
This was the best accommodation during our Japan travel. The place was so spacious compared to the other places we stayed at in Japan, and even the bathroom which I found very small in general around Japan was very big here. Especially loved the outdoor bath!! A baby cot and bath tub were provided and our baby slept beautifully during the stay. Our futons were comfortable too.

Room No, 1/Ocean View/Beachfront large terrace BBQ OK/Suma Station 4 min walk!
The weather was not good this time, and I did not see the beautiful sea, but the second floor of the landlord's house faces the sea. If the weather is good, or if you go in summer, the sea will be felt as soon as you open the curtains, it will be beautiful!Check in again next time

Private luxury villa with ocean view Shodoshima
Not only the modern interior and outstanding views, but also a house full of hospitality. There aren't many services that welcome you on Airbnb, so I was happy to be treated so nicely. I saw the room in the photos, I was impressed by the power when I saw it in person.It feels very pleasant. The bathroom was especially awesome. It's a wonderful time to soak in the view from the spacious tub. The kitchen was also a dream kitchen, and everything from the pots and pans to the plates and local seasonings was truly perfect. We all had a great time cooking together. I stay in a lot of Airbnbs, but I don't often find this quality. I am so grateful for a wonderful stay!

Dotonbori/Excellent accessibility
Cute place and right on the Main Street in dontonbori. It’s easy to get everywhere. It’s on the 3rd so it was tough bc we traveled with big luggages.

Ensoh: Hideaway Portal to Naoshima & Art Islands
What a pleasure to stay in a house after 10 days of Japanese small hotel rooms! 1. The general atmosphere is warm, peaceful, comfortable and lovely. A lot of interesting objects and decoration. 2. Real kitchen with all the necessary utensils and lovely Japanese dishes 3. Good bed 4. Music room with a vinyl player, classical vynils and art books. 5. Coffee machine that makes the best coffee we drank in Japan. 6. Mosquito nets on the windows. 7. Birds singing outside. 8. Walking distance of a family mart superette with all the necessary 9. The owners took us from the station to the house and back on departure. We used the bus from Okayama, quite easily. 10. Electric bicycles are available 11. Distance from the house to Uno port (ferry to the islands) : 20 minutes cycling (easy, apart from the last slope to the house). At Uno port, direct ferry to Naoshima (20 min) and to Teshima (30 min). We wish to find other places like that !

Lakeside Kyoto Getaway Hira-Ya
Without exaggeration, I can say that this was my most wonderful AirBnB experience as a family so far. We jumped into the lake every morning, enjoyed the view towards mountains and savoured our breakfast in rural silence. We are travelling without a car and were able to reach the house very easily from the train station, even though we have a lot of luggage. For our 1.5 year old daughter, this was paradise. She enjoyed saying hello to the chickens, splashing in the lake or playing on the beach. Chie and Iain provided the perfect family friendly environment: a high chair, children's books and children's cutlery - nothing was missing. They gave us additional recommendations for activities with a child. All in all a 10 out of 10.

[Entire house for rent, up to 20 people] Kyoto Miyamashikitei, a riverside rental villa where you can enjoy the Japanese countryside
Pro - Its a very good place. The kitchen cutlery is complete. The scenery is amazing. Clean and wifi is good. Definitely come again! Cons - bathroom only 1. So takes a lot of time. The view is great but the location is far from town. Need to travel 40mins just to reach town. So waste time there.

casa amino
We were 3 families, 7 people including children. The interior of the room was more wonderful than it looked in the photos. The ceiling was high and the living room was luxurious, making it a very relaxing space. The whole room was neatly organized and cleaned, and I enjoyed using it. Unfortunately, it rained this time, but we still had a good time indoors. I would like to visit in a different season if I have the opportunity.
