Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kyoto

The home is very special and unique. We are a family of two adults, a 16yo and 8yo. We all loved the home traditional aspects of the home with modern appliances. Even though the home is nestled into a neighborhood, it is a short walk to the gorgeous river, a huge grocery store and a little further are bus stops and train stations. The bikes were such a gift and we enjoyed using them. Although we didn't use them, it was thoughtful to have rain jackets and umbrellas available. Hiroe met us promptly even after a time change with little notice. She was efficient and thorough in her directions. We felt grateful to stay in such a lovely and comfortable home.

I recently stayed at Saito’s place and had a wonderful experience! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The place was thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to one of the attraction, restaurants, and subway station, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again, Saito, for being such a great host. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Great place to stay . Everything is in vicinity , so really convenient to go around places . Had a lovely family time .

Our family of 7 had a truly wonderful stay at Kimi’s place in Kyoto. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable trip. Kimi and his wife were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even surprised us with gifts, which made our stay even more special. When we accidentally left an item behind, Kimi graciously arranged to have it delivered to us, showing such care and hospitality. Throughout our stay, communication was easy, warm, and helpful. We could really feel the heart they put into hosting, and we are so grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you again, Kimi and Marilyn!

Very satisfied with a stay, the host was friendly and responsive. Accommodation: As described in the photos, it was clean and a bit cold just getting up during the day.The bed is very soft and I slept very well.It is also more fully equipped.The help manual provided by the host was perfect. Transportation: It is not a long walk to the subway port, and it may take multiple transfers to several famous places in the city, but within acceptable range. Surroundings: In a residential area, it is quiet at night, it is a short walk to 711.At the same time, I experienced several merchants recommended by the host, and it was a good experience and worth trying.

Lovely house on a quiet street - highly recommend Yakiniku Steak restaurant just up the road.

Our group of 8 stayed at this Air BnB during our three night stay in Kyoto. This place has two floors and the top and bottom floor are copies of each other. I really liked that each floor had their own washer/dryer, fridges and bathrooms. The area has a lot of good restaurants and it is fairly close to Nishkiki market along with other attractions. The Air BnB comes with a booklet of recommendations for restaurants and clear instructions on the home;

We loved our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family. The location was great. Close to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the local and JR train stations. The area wasn’t very touristy so we felt like locals! Express train ride from Yamashina station into Kyoto was easy.

Conversation was easy) Apartment clean and nice) All notable places of Kyoto easy reachable (metro walking 5 minutes) - Nishiki market must visit!) arigato gozaimasu!

The place is clean and nice, the host is very responsive. The only comment is no curtain in window its bright

May's place is conveniently located near Nishiti Market and public transportation. She was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to assist when I got lost. May personally messaged me directions, met me outside, and warmly welcomed me at the front door. An excellent host—I highly recommend staying at her place.

Thanks to the great introduction of the hosts and the two bikes available, we were able to experience Kyoto a little off the beaten track and queues. The apartment is small but elaborated down to the last detail and equipped with everything you need for 2 people for the stay. The neighborhood is quiet, the train and the river close. The hosts even organized us the way back to the airport. Really super friendly and interesting people

It is such an accessible place from the center of Kyoto! The host is kind and the room is so clean.

A home away from home! Loved staying at Aika’s - cozy room, warm hospitality, and everything was neat and tidy. The location was great, within minutes on foot to the subway and good restaurants. Definitely recommend and would come back to stay here! Thank you, Aika! :)

Excellent location! Senkawa station is a few minutes walk and it is around 25 minutes walk to Ikebukuro. There are convenience stores very near to the place.. I’ll definitely be staying here again when I next visit Japan! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Kyoto. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to public transportation, restaurants, and some of Kyoto’s most beautiful temples and shrines. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, offering helpful recommendations and making sure I felt at home throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. It was a great base for exploring the city, and I’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location with plenty of amenities. The host was responsive to our contact and extremely helpful with local recommendations. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the elevator was a bonus as this doesn't seem common in Japan. They allowed us to leave our lugguge after check out while we explored Kyoto before departing the city. Overall this was a A+ experience and I would happily return.

A bit far from jr station ( 1 km ) but very near with bus station place very clean and comfy

Great location and very comfortable! The host was very responsive and helpful, showed us the room and amenities and made us feel at home. Very easy and short walks to stations, shops and attractions. I’ll be staying again when I visit Kyoto!

We loved our stay in Kyoto. Incredible location and the communication with our host was really easy :)

Great location and airbnb was clean and appeared as advertised. Plenty of space for 5 people. Hosts were extremely responsive and flexible.

This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

We enjoyed this night in Kyoto so much . It’s a traditional Japanese house with all the elements we need. There’s a nice restaurant and also a famous cafe called ichikawaya nearby.

I was traveling with three teens. Everything was perfect. Lots of room. Loved the bathtub. Near a train station. The place is an authentic home. This is easy to reach for traveling and exploring but this is not into the middle of everything. It’s a bit away from central Kyoto. Bus is about 20minutes. We loved it
