Villa vacation rentals in Higashiyama Ward

Responsive host and a clean, cozy place. Felt just like home.

We had a wonderful stay at Yu’s place in Kyoto. Please follow Yu’s instructions as the location by Apple and Google maps may show to be slightly different (location is on Yoancho and not on the pedestrian walkway). The home is completely renovated with top notch Panasonic fixtures throughout. Area is convenient on the subway line from Kyoto Stn and beautiful near Gosho (former Imperial Palace).

Nomura’s place is a gem especially for a big family like ours during vacation. Everything was so easy, organized, and even the location is the sweet spot because it’s a very peaceful neighborhood. If I would go back to Kyoto, I would try to have this airbnb again!

Excellent accommodation with all the comforts and very nice decoration. A very welcoming and very responsive host. Recommended.

We loved the place, and the area is very accessible. The owner was very kind to lend us bikes, and when we noticed the tires needed air the next day, they made sure everything was ready to use. Overall, it was a great experience and stay :) We’d love to go back if given the chance again

The host was very kind and patiently responded to our questions right away.The room was also very clean and clean.Strongly recommended.

We booked Discovery Ship last minute and it turned out to be the best surprise of our trip. The house is new, very clean, and beautifully decorated like a spaceship. Our kids loved exploring it. Kazuya is a wonderful host—great communication and very kind. He personally showed us how everything works. The location is very convenient too. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto! 最後に予約したにもかかわらず、最高の宿に出会えました。家は新しく、とても清潔で、宇宙船をテーマにした素敵なデザイン。子どもたちも大喜びでした。ホストのカズヤさんは返信が早く、親切で、到着時に設備も丁寧に説明してくれました。駅からも近く、アクセスも抜群。次に京都に来るときも、必ずここに泊まりたいと思います！

The property was very clean and well maintained. Conveniently located near the train station as well. Host was very responsive to questions.

Lovely time at Kyoto House! A really fun space, mix of classic Japanese and western style. The doorways are a little low if you’re tall but really no complaints. Would stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wang's lovely home. We really felt like we got to experience a little of what life in a traditional Japanese home is like. The bathrooms were amazing and the location could not have been better. The home was walkable to many major sites and close to public transportation making it easy to tour from our home base. Coming from hotel stays in Tokyo it was nice to have room to spread out a little and we all enjoyed the ability to wash our clothes. This home was a dream come true for this family of four. Wang was helpful in giving detailed instructions for check in - it was a little difficult to find the house the first time because our taxi dropped us off at the wrong house but otherwise everything was smooth and easy.

The place is really clean and comfy. Most importantly, the landlord constantly responds right away when needed.

We had a great stay here with 11 adults. The layout is unique with little windows, doors, and other mysteries throughout the home. It is very old and should be preserved where possible, but it could use some extra upkeep. Many of the sliding doors and windows are stuck or damaged, the gutter is full of leaves, lightbulbs are mismatched, there's some unfinished drywall in the kitchen - just minor things like this. With some extra attention, it could be a luxury property. Regardless, we recommend this place. Thanks for having us!

The house combines modern and Japanese traditional style. Very clean and spacious!

A lovely authentic Japanese home. Well designed with all of the essentials. A nice quiet neighborhood close to amenities and the city center.

Check in was very easy with the directions I was shared before check in. The bus station 17 leaving Kyoto station leaves you very close to the house, you have to walk very little to get to, which makes it super accessible. Zhang was always very attentive and kind to me, responded very quickly to messages and I had the opportunity to meet him, a very respectful and attentive person. The house I have no words to describe it, it is a dream house, the garden, the pond, the house inside, everything was amazing. We had no inconvenience for you. We required that location because we went to a convention and it has a very simple connection with the train and the buses that connect the whole city. Without hesitation, I would choose the house to stay again; it is a very quiet area and a very close river passes, which makes it even more beautiful. Thank you Zhang for giving us your place and for the attention. ☺️

This home is beautiful. It’s been recently renovated and it looked, felt and smelled new. The decoration and furnishings were really lovely. It’s in a quiet residential area about 20 minutes from the main shopping and sightseeing area, 10-15 minute walk to station and 3 stops to Kawaramachi markets. It comfortably fits 7 people in 3 different bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms. Appliances and tableware were all high end. It doesn’t have closets in the bedrooms, just a couple of hangers, which seems to be common in Japan hotels. Shogo, our host, was very friendly, super communicative and helpful. Also very generous with his hospitality. This place is not in the middle of the busy sightseeing areas, but it’s relatively central and easy to get to places with public transport. There are also some shops and restaurants in walking distance. Overall, we had a wonderful stay! Very cozy and spacious, and equipped with everything we needed.

Our stay at Yanbin’s place was great! We really felt at home, at a Japanese home! Place is great, location was awesome! Away from the tourists but still super close to any action Kyoto offers! Yanbin was super friendly, always willing to help and put up with all my questions! Honestly a great place, plenty of room, comfortable and great location! Our kids were very careful around the house, but with so much space it was really great! Everyone had its own corner in the house to enjoy their reading, playing a game, reading a book or sipping a coffee/tea/sake! Highly recommended without a doubt! Thank you Yanbin, see you next time!

Had a great stay here! Everything was clean and nice. Bathroom was great. If you're tall, just watch your head so you don't hit it on the low door frames

There is🈶 a supermarket and shopping mall called Yongwang nearby, and it takes about 15 minutes or less to walk to Kyoto Station.According to the Chinese people's habit, this place is called the alley.Great for families or girlfriends and brothers traveling together.Good value for the money.I'll keep coming back if I need to.

I've stayed in many airbnbs, and Hershey's place has been one of the best! The historic tea house was so charming, and we LOVED the outdoor bath/garden!!

Yuan is so kind and helpful. Though there was a language barrier she went above and beyond for us by picking us up and dropping us off at our requested station!

We had a short 02 nights stay, the location was near sub-way station and bus stop, which can lead directly to some attraction place. This is a traditional Japan house, fully equipped with all necessary daily needs, great experience. A Special Thanks to Mr. Takeshi on some local recommendation. Nice and memorable stay.

Great stay!!! They even came and helped us fix the washing machine when we had some difficulty with it. Would recommend!

Great place to be with family in especially with kids. Perfect location if you plan to visit bamboo forest, monkey park and still only 20 min train ride to Kyoto station
