Monthly Rentals in Minami Ward

We had a great five-night stay as a family of three. The apartment was exactly as described and fit us well — it felt a bit tight by the end, but that was mostly due to the shopping bags piling up! The location is very convenient, just a short walk from Kyoto Station. While we didn’t use it, the small kitchenette looked well-equipped for basic meals. What really stood out was our host, Mr. Yoneda. He was incredibly kind and responsive, even meeting us on the street late at night to make sure we found the place without trouble. He gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and even had a sweet surprise for our daughter. If you’re looking for a ryokan-style stay in Kyoto that’s affordable, comfortable, and comes with a fantastic host — this is a great choice.

This home was perfect for our family (parents + 2 college-age daughters). We appreciated the historical and beautiful home. The sleeping arrangements were particularly good - very comfortable mattresses, pillows, and linens. There were good safety features too, like flashlights around and well-lit stairs. We appreciated being a bit away from the crowds near the center of town but still near subways and buses. We stayed for a week and so explored the quiet neighborhood pretty thoroughly, and particularly enjoyed seeing a small school bus full of very sleepy preschoolers in their small straw hats a couple of times! We will definitely try to stay again on our next trip.

We’ve stayed in many, many Airbnbs around the world, and this one was definitely a highlight. For our two teenage daughters, this home was symbolic of a great trip to Kyoto. This tastefully restored, traditional Japanese home offers a chance to step back in time to an uncluttered, tatami style of living. Modern amenities and an eye for detail combine to make this a truly special place. Comfortable beds, beautiful gardens, responsive hosts. We either walked or took taxis or Ubers from the train station. I will mention that the tall people in our group had to watch to duck their heads in some areas which was to be expected. Being able to navigate stairs is a must. This Kyoto home will be a cherished memory for all of us.

This place is small but has everything you need. Great location near the station and a huge mall so supermarket and lots of restaurants nearby. Clean and full stocked. Highly recommended
