Monthly Rentals in Oyamazaki, Otokuni District

I loved my stay in Uji, absolutely fell in love with the town. The apartment's in a very convenient location, at the end of the main street, next to Uji bridge and Byodo-in Omotesando which is lined with shops and restaurants. Depending on which station you come from it's either 5 minutes or 10 minutes by foot. I liked my room (japanese-style, upstairs), it was nice and quiet. The host and his family are a quiet bunch, you barely notice them. They are out a lot but you can always contact them via message, f.e. to request a fresh towel or another blanket or whatever you need. You can use the lobby (= living room/common room) upstairs which has a couch and a fridge till around 11pm. My only complaint is that the downstairs shower had a bit of a mold problem (but there's an upstairs shower too). Also, they have a dog (you barely see or hear it, but you can smell it in the entrance area), so if you have dog allergy beware of that.

That’s a traditional Japanese House located in a peaceful neighborhood, where’s between Kyoto and Osaka, as well as a walkable distance (22mins) to a nearby train station Makino. Thanks Nory for a flexible checkin and checkout as well as coffees☕️

Good location (about 15 minutes walk to Katsuragawa Station, then train takes 6 minutes to Kyoto Station), spacious and clean place. Comfortable sleep. Can get colder inside during the night but A/C can heat the inside well. Recommended!

We were expected right in front of the house upon our arrival and introduced to house and Kyoto. Of course, you can't expect luxury from the place, but it has fully fulfilled its promise of being a traditional Japanese house, so we felt very comfortable. Sharing the bathroom with the owners was never a problem, it was always available to us. The room itself is very spacious and quiet. The area was great, with Katsura train station you are quickly in the center of Kyoto and even avoid the confusing central station in Kyoto. In Bahnhofstrasse West (call it that way) there was a cafe that we visited for breakfast from seven o'clock (Oak Food). East of Katsura Station there is a number of traditional places we have 焼肉 おもに visited. Excellent meat grilled on the finest charcoal at the table (believe it's called Yakiniku) in a simple inn. Attention, the barbecue makes the restaurant heavily smoky.
