Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kyoto

I used to live in Japan. Returning after a long break, I wanted to be in a house that reminded me of Japan and be in a neighborhood that made it easy to get to great places on foot and public transportation. Hiroe’s house met all these expectations and she was such a great host. I highly recommend staying at her house.

We had a great stay at this home. Our group of 6 comfortable stayed amongst the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Like most Japanese homes, the toilets and shower rooms are separate. This home had 2 toilets and 2 showers. The washing machine works great, and the drying functionality (hanging clothes in the bathroom by a drying vent) worked as well. We loved the location, walking distance from the Fushimi Inari shrine and across the street from a 7/11 and walking distance from 3 different train stations. Very easy to get around the area! Thanks for an awesome stay

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!

非常满意的一次住宿，房东沟通友善，回复及时。 住宿:和照片描述一致，打扫得很干净，白天刚起床稍微有些冷。床很软睡得很舒服。设施也较为齐全。房东提供的帮助手册十分完善。 交通:步行至地铁口的时间不算很长，前往市内几个著名景点可能需要多转次线，但在可接受范围内。 周边:在一个居民区内，晚上十分安静，不长的步行距离即可到达711。同时体验了房东推荐的几家商户，体验都不错，值得尝试。

La petite maison proposée par l’agence est située dans un quartier paisible et très typique des environs de Kyoto. Juste à l’arrière du château de Nijo, dont la visite fût une superbe découverte ! L’hôte des lieux a été plus qu’accueillante, chaleureuse et à notre écoute qu’importe la question et a fourni des instructions très claires pour vivre au mieux notre expérience, je recommande vivement!!

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;

我们一家人住了3晚，整体感觉比较适合带着老人、儿童，休息的时候很安静。楼上、楼下都有卫生间真的是很赞，楼梯不算宽，但是不陡，老人也可以适应。 地铁比较方便，其实离山科站很近，找到路了就觉得异常近，附近餐饮选择也还是挺丰富的，早上、晚上都很容易解决，而且不远有大超市，买简单的食材回来吃也可以，我们就有一晚买了刺身回来吃，走路2分钟有家炸猪排的餐厅，好好吃！！ 主人很客气，回复也及时，有问题都沟通很快。

Shoji and his family were AMAZING! So kind and caring. They were happy to hold our luggage for us and followed up with us about a lost passport situation (just out of concern for us). The place was in a fabulous location, and was very comfortable - perfect for what we needed. Highly recommend!

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.

Asami and Daniel were among the kindest people me and my boyfriend ever met. All of the routes/places they advised us to take/see make up some of the best moments we spent in Japan. We're thankful for all the help they gave us and we think ANYONE staying in Kyoto should do so at their place. Thank you so much for everything <3

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

Rundum perfekt - sehr zentrale Lage und trotzdem ruhig gelegen mit vielen Restaurants und Bars in der Umgebung - sehr gute Kommunikation mit Aika - das Zimmer ist etwas klein, hat aber alles was man braucht - das Bett war ein Traum! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten uns sehr gut erholen Immer wieder gern! Danke!

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.

This Airbnb was a great find! The room was comfortable, clean and had the amenties we needed to make breakfast too. Although it is slightly further from the touristy parts of Kyoto, everything is very easy to reach on public transport. The Aeon mall which is a 15 minute walk away had so many restaurants that we could find something different every single night! We'd highly recommend this stay (:

Had an excellent stay here. Room was clean, hosts were very helpful and quick to communicate with. The beds were comfortable and the room was a decent size, perfect for 2 - 3 people. Location is nice since it's a little quieter area and away from the main busy road, but still close enough to a few shops and the river. would stay here again :). I have no complaints

位子在伏見稻荷站附近，距離兩個車站都非常方便，出門左轉就有便利商店，買食物非常便利 入住當天因為行李眾多，詢問是否可以提早借放行李，屋主完全沒有猶豫，甚至給我們提早入住，體驗十分溫馨 謝謝屋主的慷慨，非常推薦大家可以前往住宿

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 had a great stay! Would highly recommend it :)

Maison japonaise très mignonne à Kyoto. On a beaucoup apprécié ce lieu, assez proche du métro, calme. L'accès est facile. C'est très spacieux ce qui est rare au Japon, nous étions 6 et nous sommes ravis. Tout était très propre. On recommande !
