Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kita Ward

Yumiko was the best host I have ever had through years of staying in different vacation rental in different countries. She and her husband welcomed us, gave us clear information about how to use the wash machine (very efficient), and helped us to learn Japanese customs. They also went out of their way to help us get an extra bicycle for my 9 year-old, in addition to the two bikes they have, one of them with a child seat. They also offered us their umbrellas when we were about to leave and it was pouring rain, although we didn’t need them. She also offered us snack for the kids and instant noodles, which came in handy when we were too tired to go out. Her house was sparkling clean, comfy, and convenient for us (two adults with two children). The location was very easy to find from subway, and their YouTube video helped too. Convenient stores and restaurants were close by, also a park w playground and railway museum. We biked for three days around the city, it was a lot of fun :-)

Koji and Eri’s machiya is quite a special place! They expertly and tastefully restored an abandoned piece of history into a refined and peaceful place to stay in Kyoto. Eri personally welcomed us and showed us the house and they went out of their way to make sure our time in Kyoto was easy and enjoyable! The ofuro alone is worth it!

Best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Awesome place and Hirohito was a very friendly host. Fit 4 adults comfortably for a few nights. I would recommend to anyone.

Kosuke’s was a wonderful host! He was communicative, responsive, accommodating, and provided great instructions for locating the apartment and accessing it (which made it really easy to find on the little tucked away street). The apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and charming and felt like a very traditional Kyoto home, which we loved!! The location was absolutely ideal. It was so close to the Shijo metro stop (3 minute walk) and a very easy connection to Kyoto station and anywhere in Kyoto. In addition, many of the best sites are walking distance from the apartment: the Nishiki market is a 3 minute walk, Pontocho and Gion are less than 20 minutes, and the Yasaka shrine and Maruyama Park are only 25 minutes. And that’s only to name a few. There are also tons of great restaurants on the surrounding streets! It really could not be more ideally located. We loved our stay at Kosuke’s house and appreciated all of the thought and effort he puts into making his home welcoming!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The property is beautifully maintained, and one of the highlights was the serene koi ponds that added a peaceful, relaxing vibe to the entire experience. The space is thoughtfully designed with great amenities — coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, butter, cookware, multiple sinks and separate bathroom areas made it super convenient for our group of 6. It was easy for several people to get ready at the same time without feeling crowded. The owner also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, even bringing us air fresheners — such a thoughtful and responsive host. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for a group or anyone looking for a calm, well-equipped place to stay. Highly recommend!

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

A very comfortable and quiet area, conveniently close to Kyoto Station. If you don’t have too much luggage, it’s just a 15-minute walk—or one stop by train. Great value for money, very cozy. Highly recommended!

The unit is nice. The space is good for two people. It's clean and with all the amenities listed and everything is functioning. The location is convenient.

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

Gorgeous house for a family trip ! - Clean, spacious, felt like home immediately - The location is THE best IMHO. Easy to access subway, Eizan line and mt. Hiei is nearby - 7-11 is 20 sec walk! + river To sum up - for me it’s the best place to stay in Kyoto.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

A very great traditional Japanese house. Very authentic and clean, it was a great experience. The owner was very friendly and helped us a lot with everything. We enjoyed a lot.

We stayed with 3 families of 12 people, but there were plenty of beds and we were able to relax!It was great to have a BBQ even though it was raining!

The hosts Tatsuro-san was incredibly responsive and helpful, even when I needed help with a delivery! The place is as described, clean, wonderful amenities with sufficient space for my family of 5. Everything was well-explained by Tatsuro-san. It's a pity I could not stay longer as we were returning but I would definitely choose to stay again! The place is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with plenty of convenient spots to purchase what you need. It is also within short distance of a train station. The other hosts, Ichiro-san & Eiko-san were also very friendly & hospitable. Sending us off on our last day of check-out with an omiyage too! I look forward to my next trip to Osaka and staying here once again!

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

Natalie’s place in Kyoto was one of the most unique and memorable stays of our Japan trip! It’s a traditional Japanese house with amazing modern touches—great air conditioning, two washing machines, and two separate bathrooms. We loved the tatami rooms and sleeping on futons, and the little rock garden was such a peaceful touch. The space was also incredibly spacious—the biggest we stayed in during our trip. Natalie was a fantastic host, full of helpful local recommendations, and even waited with us as we rushed to catch our bullet train. The location is perfect—close to train stations, Family Mart, and a street full of great little restaurants. Our favorite experience was the public onsen right across the street—only about \$5 and such a special local experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting comfort, culture, and a truly local Kyoto stay!

The location is good, there are convenience stores, supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and the center of Lee is also convenient.

I was totally satisfied with this guesthouse. First of all, you get a detailed instruction on all the features, etc. Would recommend to anyone who wants to spend a few nights in Osaka.

Yukiko was amazing, we lost our key and she came to give us the spare key late at night. Great host and great place, highly recommend here to everyone!!

What a beautifully designed and exquisitely styled place! It was also very comfortable - of note, the bedroom is actually very large (unlike the photo would lead you to believe), the beds very comfy and there was the bonus of high-back, cushioned floor chairs to replace the floor cushions at the table which meant we could spend more time in the living room than I had envisaged. The location is superb - walking distance to Pontocho, walking or bus into Gion, and bus or metro to everywhere else. Ideal! The only downside was the traffic noise from the two large roads nearby. It was not noticeable until we went to bed but my wax earplugs totally fixed the problem. And despite this issue, I honestly would stay here again. It was such a unique experience.

The apartment was very nice and located very close to a train station making it very easy to get around Kyoto. Royce was an excellent host and answered very quickly. I would stay here again and recommend anyone to stay here too.

Very unique traditional Japanese stay must experience!

Reminded me of the first house I lived in in Japan: tatami floors, wooden fixtures, sliding doors... I felt like I was visiting a friend's grandmother's house! Must have been the smell of the wood. Spacious enough for a travel group to have private space as well as communal space. It's a bit of a hike from the train station but still walkable. Quaint, quiet residential neighborhood. Incredible value. Would definitely stay again.
