Townhouse holiday rentals in Shiga

We had a very lovely stay! It was cozy and in a great area, easy to get around and beautiful places to see close by. My only suggestion is that they replace the hairdryer, the vent at the back was very clogged and I was too worried to use it. But that’s an easy replace, and I’d be more than happy to stay here again. They were helpful and responsive, quick and polite!

Wonderful arcade setting with great shops & restaurants, and easy canal-side walking to Gion and Kiyomizudera. Great public transport at top end of arcade to other parts of the city. Highly recommended!

Dans un quartier tranquille et agréable (beaucoup de bons restaurants abordables à proximité), voici une maison typiquement japonaise impeccablement organisée, très spacieuse pour un couple, avec des détails charmants (le jardin intérieur jouxtant la chambre à coucher) et une hôtesse très réactive. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter!

Our stay here was great and as advertised. like another reviewer said, it's the perfect size for two. The host met us in person and explained all the details around use of appliances, how to access the lockbox and provided some local recommendations. all this even though we ran a little later than our estimate. The property itself is older, but beautiful and walkable to many things to do in the Gion area and Kyomizudera shrine.

This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

Place is very spacious, very clean and good air conditioner. Very comfortable bedding. Shower is plenty big. If you are 6ft or over you’ll need to occasionally duck but tat all over Japan. It’s definitely not a problem. Way better than staying in a hotel as I could sneak downstairs as I am always up before my family and could get work done before activities. Cabs and Ubers go right by, 7-11 is baseball throw away and an excellent I Indian restaurant on the corner. If you have a kid who wants McDonald’s it’s right there too. You’ll have to take a cab or Uber unless you want to walk 20 minutes to things but as I said they are readily available and only cost $10. Highly recommend super spacious and I felt a much better option for us than a small hotel room. Also it had a good washer for clothes.

Wonderful place! If you like to be in the thick of the tourist area then this place is for you! Close to the shrines and transport. But tucked away in a quiet street with beautiful surroundings. Acco has clearly done this for a while as she had everything we needed and more! The stairs are your typical steep case in Japan but we just placed a couch cushion over the top at night for our kids. They loved sleeping in the lounge room tatami floor and the futons were the best yet they said!

Perfect stay in a silent part of Gion District. Very cosy and not only a 15min walk to the Yasaka Pagoda

Amazing place, looked even better than the pictures. I was surprised how big the place was in person. The train station was just a 8 minute walk to take you to all the popular spots. We were a group of 8 and it was a perfect place for our size. I would highly recommended this place and I’ve already booked it again for a future trip. We were also able to check in our bags early while we waited for the house to be ready for us which allowed us to explore the city until check in time. Thank you for all the accommodations !

Great location. The house was very comfortable and provided exactly what we needed for 7 people. It was clean and quiet. The host were very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay. The place is just like pictures giving an small window in Japanese living. It was also spacious enough for adults and one child. Nobuyuki was amazing with any questions we had a replied promptly. The place is next next to the shrine and also close to some small cute shops. It's also on the philosophers path. My kid had a lot of fun seeing fireflies.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful townhouse in Kyoto! The space was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. It was perfect for our group of 6. The host went above and beyond by providing thoughtful amenities like disposable razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs, which added an extra level of comfort to an already great stay. Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out, and the location made it easy for us to explore the city. We truly felt at home and would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

WOW !! Quel merveilleux séjour d'une semaine !! C'est l'un des meilleurs Airbnb que j'ai jamais été ! Tout était parfait. Le logement était propre et disposait de tout ce dont on a besoin. J'ai aimé l'expérience de dormir dans une chambre traditionnelle avec du tatamis. C'est tout à fait confortable! La localisation du logement est également parfaite : située près d'une station de métro et des lignes d'autobus, mais également de konbinis (Familymart) et de nombreux restaurants. J'ai adoré mon séjour à Kyoto. Cela a dépassé mes attentes! Prix également très bon! Je recommande 10/10 ce logement à quiconque qui vient à Kyoto ! 😃😃

I stayed at Hanare's place with my two daughters (ages 18,19) and it worked out great for our trip to Kyoto. The place is really well done and has a great feel to it. My daughters really appreciated that they each got their own bed and that the AC worked very well. There is AC downstairs and in the bedrooms but the entrance and the upstairs hallway do not have AC. It wasn't a big deal but the hallway could get pretty warm. The only bathroom is on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second floor. My only warning is the staircase, I would say it's more of a ladder. We were fine with it but it was definitely interesting getting the luggage upstairs. If someone in your group has difficulty getting around it might not be the best place. We used several of Hanare's recommendations and they were great. It's right by the main cobblestone street that leads up to the Kiyomizu-dera. We really enjoyed our stay and liked that it had a very clean modern yet traditional Japanese style.

Ume’s place was exactly what I was looking for: a place that’s close to kamogawa for my morning run, and a comfortable house with all the amenities and a kitchen for us to cook in. Another point is that there is one toilet on the second floor and one downstairs so it was perfect for my mother. She’s glad that she didn’t have to go downstairs for the loo in the middle of the night. The host May welcomed us at the house and chatted with us about her story, which was also quite nice for my mom to experience something unique to Airbnb compared to a hotel room.

The house is clean, comfortable, and located in a great area. The bus station is nearby, and it’s easy to order a taxi right to the door. We’re a group of 6, and our mom uses a wheelchair and the place worked out perfectly for us. Matuda was super helpful, responded quickly, and shared many great recommendations 🤩🩵🩵

We had a wonderful stay with family and friends from all over the world. 20 of us stayed and we had plenty of space. We felt right at home. Very convenient location, near Kyoto station but far enough to be in a quiet local area, with small bars and sento! Thank you for being a great host!

非常好的体验，这次是带爸爸妈妈来京都玩，在这个民宿里渡过了很快乐的三晚！ 因为与房东可以中文交流，比较便利，并且房东在入住准备上非常用心，提前开好了空调，点了香，准备了冰饮，还有很美的鲜花，入住时感觉很温馨💕 此外，房间和床铺都很干净舒适，厨房和厕所也非常整洁便利。在超市里买了和牛肉、米饭，就可以在家享受一餐，比在外吃得更合口味~ 以及，浴缸和热水也很棒，不输酒店，水超级热！洗浴用品及吹风机都很好用，每天逛完回家洗个热水澡非常治愈！ 地理位置上，虽然民宿所在地是小路，但是离清水寺、二三年板非常近，我们赶早6:30出门，十几分钟就可以步行到清水寺，避开人流比较方便的！

A beautiful and convenient place to stay in Kyoto!

If you’re asking yourself whether or not it’s worth it to book here— the answer is an absolute YES. It is truly one of the most beautiful homes we’ve ever stayed in. The outdoor tub is heavenly and was the best way to beat the summer heat during our stay. The beds are so comfortable, the house was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever seen (and I’ve been lucky enough to stay in many excellent ones!), and the location is prime for anything you might want to get up to. We couldn’t be more grateful to have experienced Kyoto for the first time here! Truly the most peaceful place to stay in the most peaceful city. Also, the AC is the crispest I’ve ever been in, which was a must. Great all around!

We enjoyed our stay! Thanks Karen :)

The location on the Shirakawa is the main selling feature on this. Peaceful and nice to come home to. We sat there many nights on a floor seat near the window watching the canal. They can set up a futon for a third guest in this area, but be warned they have the best view!! :) There are fireflies at night on the canal. There is some car and pedestrian traffic on the opposite side of the canal and people do look in. The unit was clean and there's not a lot of stuff to clutter the space, which is nice. Furnishings are good quality and in good shape. There's a full steam bath on the first floor and a half bath on the second floor where the bed is. There's a full kitchen downstairs and a combo washer/dryer (takes about 4 hours for full cycle) on 1st floor. The unit could use more places to sit and a smaller dining table, but they're minor inconveniences. The location is great and very walkable to the entire historic area. We spotted 16 geishas in our 5 nights in Kyoto!

Very comfy bed, cool interior
