Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ Wood bath/ 2nd floor
It was a great place for us to stay at! We are a family of 7, 4 adults and 3 children and it was big enough to accommodate all of us! The place was clean and well maintained, having the washer and dryer was a plus! It was close enough to all the tourist location, but far enough where we didn’t have to deal with the loud night life! Location was great, it was walkable to get to many places!

The place was amazing and they were very responsive hosts! We forgot an important medication from our previous hotel and they were very helpful and arranging a next day shipment! Really nice and we were in such a beautiful location!

We just loved staying at Sumi's place, it was nice and cosy. Everything tidy, we'll organized and with instructions in English so it was perfect for us who don't speak Japanese. She was attentive and took care of us all the time. It's well located and it's close to almost all touristic areas. We felt like home and recommend it 100% ❤️

Sumi's place was perfect for our family of 3. It was very roomy, very clean, and in an amazing location. Sumi's instructions and recommendations were excellent. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ Wood bath/ 1st floor
Guys, just get this place !! If you’re afraid of the bright lighting, it does not look like that at all 😂 it dims, I promise ! The wooden bath was so amazing, we didn’t even end up using the outside one. Place was honestly huge for the price too! The bedroom was also extremely comfy. Beautiful riverside and gardens nearby. Seriously, get this airbnb and you will be happy with your stay 👍 trust me

River View Near Kyoto Sta. / Wood bath/ 4th Floor
We stayed here with a group of 4 adults. The location was in a nice quiet area of the city close Shichijo Station and a short walk or taxi ride to Kyoto Station. It was also close to the Kamo River and Kiyamachi Street so there was always a nice view of the water when leaving/going back to the room. We also found a decent number of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Overall it was a great place to stay that's away from the more crowded areas of the city!

IROHA STAT Kyoto Rei - Kids welcome
Such a quiet and beautiful oasis in Kyoto. Spending the mornings sipping coffee on the balcony, was definitely a highlight to our time in Kyoto. In addition, it was easy access to public transportation but also a short (and beautiful stroll) to various points of interest in town. I adjusted the timing of our Kyoto visit to accommodate this reservation, and I am so happy that I did.

We stayed in a barrel sauna and an inn for five people.They were flexible, responded quickly, and I enjoyed it comfortably!We would like to stay again and again!

Biwa Lake , the whole building for rent
We loved our stay in OmiHachiman. It is a very quiet, chill town. Not a lot is open after 5 or so in the town so plan meals wisely. The blue house was clean, spacious and well appointed, with the most comfortable beds we encountered on our whole Japan trip. The bus from the train station goes nearby the accommodation and continues on to La Collina - very convenient..

Kyoto Center near Kujo|Parking area|3 Rooms |9pax
It was our first time visiting Kyoto and this place with conveniently located to good restaurants and train station. The place was comfortable and clean. It comfortably accommodated 6 people. The host was great and responded quickly. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kyoto and need a private and quiet place to rest. Neighborhood was peaceful and safe too. I would stay here again.

[Midorikawatei Casa Verde] 15-minute walk to Kyoto Station/11-minute walk to Kuju Station/1 minute to Kamogawa/High-speed WIFI
Had a great time, very clean and quiet location. I didn’t expect the stairs to be so steep, but that was my ignorance! If mobility is an issue this isn’t the place for you but otherwise ticked all the boxes. The shower is big for Japanese standards which was great!

遥華~house /Central area for couple /西院駅5分
this was THE BEST air bnb we ever stayed in. she was so thoughtful. not only did she give local recommendations, but also even left bandages, and shower towels, hair caps and all sorts of items just in case we needed them. she was so so kind and so lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone else. if I'm back in Kyoto I would love to stay here again

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

Sanjo Keihan st/A whole house/Gion
This place is not fancy, but it is roomy, well appointed and comfortable. It is in a great location close to four different train stops, and you can walk to restaurants and sightseeing. It is two units on two floors with steep stairs, and was great with multiple kids. Would rent again.
