Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Biwa

We stayed here for 4 days and walked to the bamboo Forrest every day. It was a 10 minute walk from the train station which was convenient for traveling to other sites around Kyoto. We would stay here again.

House is quite small like many Japanese houses but very homely and fully equipped. Host was very helpful allowing us to drop off bags early and also letting us know about a local festival which was great to attend and learn more about Japanese culture. Really enjoyed our stay at Cozy House and Kyoto.

Haruka's apartment is situated very near Saiin-Station (5min walk) and its restaurants in a quite street. There is a supermarket 4min walk in the other direction. It is big with 2 bedrooms, a great bathroom, a washing-machine and everything you can need to cook in the tiny kitchen as well as spices, oil, tea, coffee... There are also brochures about Kyoto's attractions and a very interesting book about Japan's history. The best part of our stay at Haruka's House was to meet the owners (they live upstairs), who welcomed us as we arrived with many informations, japanese tea, fruits an sweats. As we left, the had looked for the train-connexions to our next destination and gave us nice advices as well as crackers for the trip. It was so nice, we felt at home from the first minute and we enjoyed so much their company. We even had the chance to borrow their bicycles to tour around Kyoto. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We definitely hope to come back!!!

I enjoyed my stay in Yoyo’s house. It’s clean & tidy. Everything is well-explained, so that I can reached & get access to the house easily.

Very warm and helpful household (luggage room option). Good location (quiet and few minutes to Kyoto Station). Rooms very clean, spacious and cosy; beds very comfortable. Everything as described. I highly recommend it!

Very nice night by the river in this Ryokan. Sleeping in futons is lovely. Thank you so much for hosting us :)

The facilities are very complete, the host responds promptly, the house is very clean, I hope to stay again next time

beautiful apartment, traditional style, a little low ceiling, but it's part of the experience

They always responded politely and were very helpful during my stay. The facilities were beautiful and easy to use, and they took measures against insects in advance, so there was no particular trouble.The view was beautiful and overall very good.

Mulan’s accommodation was perfect — we were happy to sleep on the tatami mats with our children. The place is very clean and welcoming. It was cold in the morning when we woke up, but we were warm and cozy under the thick comforters during the night. The bathroom is quite basic but very practical. The water is nice and hot, with great pressure. Communication with the host was very easy. They kindly drove us to the Golden Pavilion and then to the Silver Pavilion. They were very accommodating and helpful. They also dropped us off at the station so we could catch our train from Kyoto Station. The location is about 20 minutes by subway from Kyoto, and we enjoyed staying in such a peaceful residential neighborhood. There’s a FamilyMart on the street and a little place where we had some delicious pastries!

Thanks Local, quiet, Clean Appreciated the e-bike. Loved the bath tub

An old house surrounded by mountains and protected.We sincerely appreciate your warm hospitality.I highly recommend this place for a special experience!

I stayed at Aquabliss for about 6 weeks while looking for an apartment. I was surprised at the amount of amenities provided, including several beverage options, a few snacks, and toiletries. The apartment was very clean and had everything I needed for a long stay. The fountain was also peaceful to listen to. The area of the apartment is very quiet and you can easily access the Hankyu station and JR station within a 9 minute and 15 minute walk respectively. There are also several temples and shrines and a few convenience stores within walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying here!

This was a very pleasant surprise, the scenery in this town is like from a movie, we couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, our hist was extremely nice , she allow us to stay a bit more so we had enough time for breakfast. The house is very nice spacious clean, my only regret was that i didn’t stay more time. Is worth the travel there would definitely would advise stay at least two days. Thanks so much for all your help and hospitality.

A very lovely and memorable stay in Kyoto This is my 2nd time visiting Kyoto. The place is walking distance from Kyoto station. Very beautiful house in nice location. The house is keyless and very easy to access. This place is suitable for a group of 5. Having guest room, tatami room, small garden and specious bedroom. Host is very communicative and helpful. A very tipical of Japanese house, compact yet complete and very modern. Will surely come back with my family.

Stayed a second time for more than a month and loved every minute of it. Really great place for long term stays and pet friendly. Also has a garage space. Perfect for long term stays in general. The house is a beautiful old house, with both traditional and modern rooms. Very spacious and comfortable. There is little storage space but it's a big house so there's plenty of space to store luggage out of the way. Aircon and heaters were enough heating for the coldest part of the winter. Fully stocked with appliances and consumables in general, we didn't miss a thing. The area around is extremely convenient with a shopping mall, tons of great restaurants, places for sightseeing, specialised shops, and in the middle of Kyoto. A great place to explore the city. The hosts are kind and attentive and were responsive for the couple of time we needed something. They had prepared everything so well that we hardly needed anything anyway. Thank you so much for having us!

One of the best experience in Kyoto. I stayed at Lan’s place for two nights, it was quite and comfortable, there are several coin parking lots nearby so it is very easy to park. Lan was very kind to us, he even brought some drink and he was always willing to help. Anyways, I strongly recommend this place to everyone who’s willing to travel and stay at Kyoto.

It was a very nice accommodation and we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. Thank you very much for your kindness in responding to forgotten items.We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.Thank you very much.

The location is fantastic — just a stone’s throw from the metro, and only 10 minutes to the city center. We really liked the area because it feels local and authentic, not touristy at all. The house is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of natural light. Niko is lovely and very thoughtful, which made our stay even better. If I had to mention something, a few things felt a bit worn, and the place wasn’t completely spotless, which we expected. But honestly, it didn’t affect our stay. I still totally recommend it and would definitely come back!

This accommodation is huge over 3 levels with an internal elevator. It also has an internal spiral staircase but it is extremely tight and wouldn’t be recommended for small children. The ground floor is a kitchen dinner, floors 2 and 3 are bedrooms each with 2 beds and a bathroom. The host was very accommodating and responsive, the location is in a smaller area and directly opposite the local train station which is super convenient, recommended particularly for 2x couples or if you stay with older children and or grandparents

It was a clean and easy to use and a good house. The bedroom is also large and there are many. It was very nice to stay with other families with friends and family. It was also nice to have multiple sinks and toilets. The living room space was spacious enough for a large group, and we had a good time until night. During the day, we had a lake BBQ at the nearby Matsuura Campground.The lake is easy to see, but it was about a 5-minute walk to a place where you can BBQ. It is also less than 10 minutes by car, and there is just the right one-day hot spring (Hiratopia). Even with a large group of children, it is conveniently divided into a group of people entering the house and a day-use hot spring pair. The convenience store and station were close.

The location was good, the house beautiful, modern and clean, spacious, lots of things to see and do around Obama…Highly recommended when travelling by car!

Inari Home is a beautiful space that is minutes away from the metro station that brings you to Gion within 15 minutes. Giotto keeps it immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. She has been responsive and was flexible to allow us to drop off our luggage before check in. Thank you for the wonderful stay! 🙏🏻

Modern and fresh apartment. All the amenities that you need. Loved the recliner chairs to relax. Great kitchen with everything you need to cook for yourself. Large and easy to use bathroom with washing machine. Great outside area including hot tub. You’re right next to a bamboo forest. So very peaceful. Walkable to Fushimi Inari Shrine and 1000 red Torii if you are able bodied. Naoko responded to every request quickly and happily. Loved the treats for breakfast. Thanks Naoko.
