Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kyoto

Shogo was an amazing host!! His home was clean and he had so many great directions in english for me and the other guests. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto! I know we will be back :)

Die Unterkunft ist klein, aber total schön und sehr ruhig, obwohl sie in einer belebten Gegend liegt. Es gibt leider keinen Herd, um zu kochen. Jedoch sind in der Umgebung ganz viele tolle Restaurants. Die Betten sind sehr bequem auch wenn man noch nie auf dem Boden geschlafen hat! Wir würden die Unterkunft Freunden und der Familie immer weiterempfehlen. 10/10!

Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay with an Amazing Host! We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb, made even more memorable by the incredibly friendly and thoughtful host, Ms. Judy Kim. She contacted us well in advance with clear check-in instructions and was flexible in accommodating our arrival time. She even met us in person to assist with parking and gave us a warm welcome with a house tour. We were touched by the little gestures—iced bottled water, delicious snacks, and her genuine conversation where she shared about herself and made us feel right at home. She even helped with our luggage and came to send us off when we checked out. It’s rare to meet such a hospitable and caring host. Highly recommended—we would love to stay again!

Best Airbnb we have stayed in by far! Not your typical Airbnb. Christian and his wife take care of you like a family guest. They drive you places, help you plan your stay, cool breakfast, share their sake, and makes reservations plus more! They are so friendly and nice! The house is gorgeous! Just as pictured. Modern bathrooms with old Japanese feel throughout. We did the soba and the pottery - loved both! Thank you for all!

Thank you everything

Wow this was a great find. Authentic Japanese accommodation, 10 mins walk from the train station with easy access to Kyoto. Very comfortable stay here, would definitely come back

unique home, comfortable, cozy. The host was very welcoming, friendly, responsive and helpful. Thank you for providing such a marvellous and traditional home with full of antiques.

Our stay here was absolutely perfect! The apartment was impeccably clean and cozy, well stocked and we loved the amenities they provided. The hosts were also very clear in the directions and responsive, thank you!

Sauber und gut erreichbar

Everything was perfect!! Clean, confortable , room was big, kind people!! 10/10

너무나 친절하고 깔끔 편리 모든것이 완벽했습니다. 역에서 가깝지만 캐리어를 끌고가기에 약간은 멀었지만 주변이 한적하고 조용해서 좋았습니다. 호스트답장이 빠르지는 않습니다.

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. It was in a great location and we were able to get to everything fairly easily. The space was small, and there is not space for oversized luggage. We carefully laid them on the bathroom floor near the windows and that still gave us enough space to move about. The rest of the flooring is tatami mats so you need to be very carefulnot to roll luggage on it. You also have to walk up a narrow stepped staircase for 3 floors to make it to the room so please keep that in mind. It had beautiful traditional japanese touches that made it stand out. The open air bath was a lovely feature and I especially enjoyed that. It also has a door for privacy. My husband and I did notice that it is not possible to fill the bathtub while the shower was on, so I would suggest filling the bathtub before you shower. Keep these things in mind when you are deciding if it's right for you. Overall, it was lovely and the japanese beds helped our bodies recover from each day of walking.

Perfect place and location!

Essa pequena casa é uma experiência única. Sentar na varanda em frente ao riacho é muito confortável e gostoso. dormir em casa de tatame foi muito especial. A cozinha é pequena recomendo apenas par a pequenas refeições. A casa é fresca e o banheiro e duchas são bem equipados. Obrigada .

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Kyoto. Le logement était conforme aux photos, propre et bien situé. L’instruction pour récupérer les clés mériterait d’être clarifiée (il était indiqué de tourner dans un sens, alors qu’il fallait faire l’inverse), mais heureusement, une personne très gentille à la réception nous a aidés. Après notre départ, j’ai pensé avoir oublié un objet dans l’appartement : l’hôte a été très réactif et m’a assisté rapidement, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Merci encore !

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

The place is very clean, neat and tidy. Has really good quality amenities including an espresso machine, a dryer room. It's very easy to find as it appears on the map directly when you put House Nozomi Hayashi San is very responsive and looked into one of our concerns immediately. It's near a bus stop with multiple buses going into the town. Katsuragawa station is about 1.5 KM, so bit of a walk when you have luggage or are tired. But we got cabs fairly easily. Do your research on places you want to travel to in Kyoto so you can see if the location works for you. In terms of convenience, lots of shops, supermarkets etc are available. It feels spacious. It would have been better to have access to the wardrobe, but we had a short stay so we did not mind living out of our suitcases. Overall good place, good amenities, location is good but that's subjective. Good, professional host.

너무 행복한 2박이었습니다. 호스트님은 매우 친절하게 체크인부터 마지막날 아침식사, 근처 역까지도 데려다주셨습니다. 방문하시는 분들께 매우 좋은 기억으로 남을거라고 생각합니다.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

Le logement était très propre et bien décoré. C'est le seul appartement du 5eme étage, c'est donc très calme. Depuis la fenêtre il est possible de voir le Kiyomizu Dera. L'emplacement est très bien. Il est possible d'aller à gion et Nishiki market à pied. Plein de bon restaurant à proximité et des boulangeries, il y a aussi un fresco ouvert 24/24 en plus du 7-eleven au coin de la rue. C'était très pratique de pouvoir stationner notre Toyota sienta devant l'immeuble.

Great location and place. Very accommodating and responsive. Thank you.

Good machiya type of stay. Surely recommend to everyone who is looking for a proper Japanese type of home experience
