Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sakyo Ward

Koji and Eri’s machiya is quite a special place! They expertly and tastefully restored an abandoned piece of history into a refined and peaceful place to stay in Kyoto. Eri personally welcomed us and showed us the house and they went out of their way to make sure our time in Kyoto was easy and enjoyable! The ofuro alone is worth it!

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!

This was a great place to stay in Kyoto. The place accommodated four people of various ages and we were able to enjoy our stay without being overcrowded in typical Japan accommodations. The grocery store less than a block away was very helpful and the street felt safe to walk at all hours.

Kosuke’s was a wonderful host! He was communicative, responsive, accommodating, and provided great instructions for locating the apartment and accessing it (which made it really easy to find on the little tucked away street). The apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and charming and felt like a very traditional Kyoto home, which we loved!! The location was absolutely ideal. It was so close to the Shijo metro stop (3 minute walk) and a very easy connection to Kyoto station and anywhere in Kyoto. In addition, many of the best sites are walking distance from the apartment: the Nishiki market is a 3 minute walk, Pontocho and Gion are less than 20 minutes, and the Yasaka shrine and Maruyama Park are only 25 minutes. And that’s only to name a few. There are also tons of great restaurants on the surrounding streets! It really could not be more ideally located. We loved our stay at Kosuke’s house and appreciated all of the thought and effort he puts into making his home welcoming!

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, et fantastisk lille hus i et roligt område. Vi har været så glade for at bo i Mayumis bolig, hvor alting bare var i orden. Og en vært som var sød og kommunikativ. Klart en kæmpe anbefaling!

The unit is nice. The space is good for two people. It's clean and with all the amenities listed and everything is functioning. The location is convenient.

Sauber und gut erreichbar

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.

A very great traditional Japanese house. Very authentic and clean, it was a great experience. The owner was very friendly and helped us a lot with everything. We enjoyed a lot.

3家族12人で宿泊しましたが、ベッドもたくさんあり、ゆったりと過ごすことが出来ました！雨が降ってもBBQが出来たのは良かったです！

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

Das Ryokan ist wunderschön, typisch japanisch und passend für unsere Reise mit der großen Familie. Wir haben die schönen Schiebetüren, den typischen Boden, die großen Fenstertüren und ganz besonders den unglaublich wunderbaren japanischen Garten jeden Tag bewundert.

Natalie on hyvin vieraista huolehtiva, erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias. Oli mukava tavata Natalie ja välittyi tunne, että hän todella välitti siitä että viihdyimme mahdollisimman hyvin. Asunto on erittäin siisti ja esteettisesti sisustettu paikalliseen tyyliin, todella miellyttävä ja ihania yksityiskohtia sisustuksessa. 4-henkiselle perheelle tilaa oli mukavasti ja kaikille oli mukavat sängyt. Asunnosta löytyy tarpeellinen varustelu ja jopa kaksi modernia pyykinpesukonetta, muutenkin varustelu oli laadukasta. Lähin juna-asema on lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä ja asunnolta on helppo kulkea niin kävellen kuin julkisilla kulkuvälineillä. Vielä plussana rauhallisuus, alueella ei ole meteliä ja öisin oli aivan hiljaista. Viihdyimme 5 yötä ja tämä oli hyvä valinta, oli helppoa tehdä päiväretkiä Hiroshimaan ja Naraan ja eri puolille Kiotoa ja palata mukavaan asuntoon illaksi. Kiitos Natalie ja voimme todella suositella tätä kohdetta.

The host -Seiko was exceptionally friendly and responsive, making check-in seamless and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had all the amenities we could ask for—truly a perfect home away from home! Communication was seamless throughout our stay, and she was always quick to respond to any questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would gladly stay again!

Shogo was an amazing host!! His home was clean and he had so many great directions in english for me and the other guests. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto! I know we will be back :)

Incredible location, great Japanese home, clean and spacious. The manager, Naoto, runs a coffee shop next door with incredible cappuccinos. We got one every morning, and it was great knowing he was nearby if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful. Felt at home

Le logement est parfait, nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Le quartier est très agréable, nous recommandons fortement ce logement ! Les hôtes sont également très accueillants et réactifs.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Kyoto. Le logement était conforme aux photos, propre et bien situé. L’instruction pour récupérer les clés mériterait d’être clarifiée (il était indiqué de tourner dans un sens, alors qu’il fallait faire l’inverse), mais heureusement, une personne très gentille à la réception nous a aidés. Après notre départ, j’ai pensé avoir oublié un objet dans l’appartement : l’hôte a été très réactif et m’a assisté rapidement, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Merci encore !

Wonderful home. Just like the pictures, in a great location and extremely clean.
