Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tōkai Region

Looked like the pictures. The only bad thing was that there was only one lock in the front door keeping anyone out.

Haruo’s place is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with easy access to highways and attractions nearby Yamanashi! The traditional Japanese house with beautiful backyard (with views of the mt Fuji when weather allows) is all you need for a great getaway! Haruo is very friendly and greeted us on arrival and gave us nearby recommendations for places to see and eat! We would definitely be back whenever we visit yamanashi again!

We had a nice time in this apartment. It is spacious and is centrally located in Takayama. Everything was very clean and tidy.

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.

I used it as a graduation trip as a group of four men and women!The room was fully equipped with daily necessities, and we had no inconvenience!It was one of the best memories!

Host was super responsive to all our requests, and was particularly helpful in helping to resolve issues we had with the washing machine

This is the perfect spot to stay in Osaka! The home is absolutely beautiful and well worth the price. We arrived to a fully stocked fridge, towels, and a lovely home. The host is very helpful, generous, and responsive!

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

Shared bicycles can be rented next door to the room, making it easy to get around

We had a great time!! The house is exceptional, even more beautiful than in the photos. Japanese immersion guaranteed. And the host was really great and very very kind. Thanks a lot for a great week-long stay!

We stayed at Toshie’s designer house for 4 nights. The architecturally fantastic home is in a quiet neighbourhood a short busride from Gakuenmae station, with quick train access to Nara, Kyoto and Osaka. Toshie picked us up from the station, which was appreciated as it might have been tricky to find the house ourselves. She gave us instructions for local transport and amenities within walking distance. Toshie is an exceptional host who is genuinely interested in her guests making sure they have an enjoyable stay. During our visit we needed medical attention and Toshie was extremely helpful with taking us to the hospital and pharmacy. We felt very safe having her as a translator. One night we were able to join Toshie and her husband for dinner and also met their daughter who has a ceramics studio in the house. Thank you Toshie for your hospitality, kindness and generosity. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I highly recommend this house for a unique base to explore the Nara area.

First experience at a traditional Japanese house and I loved it. The location is ideal, close to the beach and shops nearby. Kensuke is very nice.

Yamano was a great host. Everything was as described and he was very helpful and responsive before and during our trip. Our family of 5 adults felt very comfortable in this property. There was a bus stop nearby as well as a few different train stations within walking distance. There was a convenience store nearby to get supplies. The location was nearby Arashiyama attractions, but in a quiet neighborhood area that felt more like home. If we ever end up headed their way again we would definitely stay with Yamano. The car service that Yamano set us up with was also very nice and worked well for getting to and from Kyoto Station as well as an 8hr tour.

The place was so beautiful and very close to many restaurants and convenience stores. We were able to stay in or go out with ease. Our host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone, and we all hope to come back in the future!

A beautiful little home perfect for a relaxing stay. Karin is fast to reply and provides a plethora of advice and knowledge about Shizuoka!

The interior was also nice, clean and great!The view from the deck was also impressive!I would definitely use it again!

The sauna, water bath, and natural hot spring were all pleasant to use!The description of the facility was also easy to understand, and we had a comfortable stay.

Ms. Keiko welcomed us and kindly showed us around the house. We had the whole space for ourselves and could enjoy talking until late night. It was a wonderful stay in very natural surroundings.

We very much enjoyed our stay here ! The house is very large with 4 bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, bath tubs both indoors and outdoors and everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It is located in a peaceful forest area away from the crowds. If you have a dog, there are also plenty of facilities for your pet. Very easy to get from the house to Lake Kawaguchi and Chureito Pegoda, the 7 seas of Oshino, many temples, gardens, museums and also the F1 racetrack. If you have a car, this home is a perfect base to get everywhere. We really felt at home and enjoyed that everyone had their own bedroom with comfortable beds.

This place was perfect! Very close to the train station, great location. The apartment was sizable and very clean. We felt right at home immediately. I will definitely recommend this spot to anyone who plans to visit Tokyo!
