Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sakyo Ward

Best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Awesome place and Hirohito was a very friendly host. Fit 4 adults comfortably for a few nights. I would recommend to anyone.

Our stay in Kyoto was great! The location was excellent--close to everything, yet quiet, which was so important as I'm a light sleeper. The apartment was very spacious, and my adult daughter and I were happy to have separate sleeping rooms as she tends to stay up later than me and to watch the TV. The host was gracious and showed us the necessary things upon arrival. Would definitely recommend!

Host was super responsive to all our requests, and was particularly helpful in helping to resolve issues we had with the washing machine

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The property is beautifully maintained, and one of the highlights was the serene koi ponds that added a peaceful, relaxing vibe to the entire experience. The space is thoughtfully designed with great amenities — coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, butter, cookware, multiple sinks and separate bathroom areas made it super convenient for our group of 6. It was easy for several people to get ready at the same time without feeling crowded. The owner also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, even bringing us air fresheners — such a thoughtful and responsive host. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for a group or anyone looking for a calm, well-equipped place to stay. Highly recommend!

Wow, a great little house in a quiet area. We've been so happy to stay at Mayumi's place, where everything was just fine. And a host who was sweet and communicative. Definitely a huge recommendation!

We had an amazing stay at this Kyoto Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was incredibly convenient—close to both train and bus stations, which made getting around Kyoto really easy. Our host was responsive and thoughtful, with clear instructions and helpful local tips. The quiet neighbourhood made it a perfect place to unwind after a busy day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto—we’d love to stay here again next time!

Everything was perfect! Smooth communication, clear and easy to understand. Everything what you need for a comfortable stay in Kyoto. Location very convenient as well. Thank you!

We are really happy with the apartment. It is spacious and clean. As their main building has reception, we could leave our suits cases after check out. They also helped us to get a taxi on a heavy rain day. They made our trip so much easier. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you for being so kind. We will definitely stay again when we come to Kyoto!

Shared bicycles can be rented next door to the room, making it easy to get around

Gorgeous house for a family trip ! - Clean, spacious, felt like home immediately - The location is THE best IMHO. Easy to access subway, Eizan line and mt. Hiei is nearby - 7-11 is 20 sec walk! + river To sum up - for me it’s the best place to stay in Kyoto.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

Yamano was a great host. Everything was as described and he was very helpful and responsive before and during our trip. Our family of 5 adults felt very comfortable in this property. There was a bus stop nearby as well as a few different train stations within walking distance. There was a convenience store nearby to get supplies. The location was nearby Arashiyama attractions, but in a quiet neighborhood area that felt more like home. If we ever end up headed their way again we would definitely stay with Yamano. The car service that Yamano set us up with was also very nice and worked well for getting to and from Kyoto Station as well as an 8hr tour.

The surrounding area and dormitory atmosphere were very good.There was also plenty of facilities, including a BBQ stove, and we enjoyed it all time.In addition, the bath and toilet were firmly new and clean to the atmosphere of the retro inn.I would definitely use it again in the future!

This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

The place was so beautiful and very close to many restaurants and convenience stores. We were able to stay in or go out with ease. Our host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone, and we all hope to come back in the future!

Natalie’s place in Kyoto was one of the most unique and memorable stays of our Japan trip! It’s a traditional Japanese house with amazing modern touches—great air conditioning, two washing machines, and two separate bathrooms. We loved the tatami rooms and sleeping on futons, and the little rock garden was such a peaceful touch. The space was also incredibly spacious—the biggest we stayed in during our trip. Natalie was a fantastic host, full of helpful local recommendations, and even waited with us as we rushed to catch our bullet train. The location is perfect—close to train stations, Family Mart, and a street full of great little restaurants. Our favorite experience was the public onsen right across the street—only about \$5 and such a special local experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting comfort, culture, and a truly local Kyoto stay!

We stayed in Naoyuki's property for 4 days and loved the stay. The room with 4 futons was amazing and very traditional with Japanese decors. The proximity to the bus stop and tram/train station was extremely convenient in terms of transportation. The stay was as warm and cozy as Kyoto.

Brilliant stay in a wonderfully kept traditional Japanese house. Shogo’s recommendations were exactly what we wanted also!

Lovely little appartment. 5-10 minutes away from Gion district. Everything was very clean and easy to find. Would definitly recommand.

Daniel and Asami’s informative perspective of Japan and generous hospitality were exemplary. We felt very comfortable in the light and airy space that has been so thoughtfully planned for an authentic cultural experience. We had the best sleeps. The bikes were a delightful inclusion and our time was full of wonderful surprises as we rode along the river to find botanical gardens one morning as well as check out the local neighbourhood parks and restaurants. Daniel and Asami’s recommendations were endless and brilliant. We feel very grateful to have met them.

The apartment was very nice and located very close to a train station making it very easy to get around Kyoto. Royce was an excellent host and answered very quickly. I would stay here again and recommend anyone to stay here too.

We loved this peaceful and serene location. We were looking for an escape from the other tourists and this was the perfect location for us. Amenities were top notch!

Super cool house with tatami flooring but beds are extremely comfortable. You feel like you are living in history. It has all the modern comforts. AC heating etc. close to Kyoto station. Lots of taxis around. Host is super kid too. Have great recommendations on restaurants Would stay again.
