Townhome vacation rentals in Honshu

There is a distance to Namba Station, but you can go to Sakuragawa Station within 10 minutes on foot, and if you take the train, you can go within 15 minutes. The transportation is inconvenient, but it is a cheap accommodation, so I think it is good value for the money. Basically, there are 2 bedrooms, and the living room and kitchen are clean, so I had a satisfying stay. The bedroom has stairs, but the slope is steep, so it can be a little difficult to take care of children or the elderly. Still, it's basically well-equipped, so I had a good stay.

The place was very cosy and aesthetic. It was very easy to get to and located in a quiet area

Awesome apartment ! The place is easily to find. It’s very nice that Host prepared snacks and drinks. The place is very comfortable.

Great Machiya stay with a traditional feel, but with modern amenities such as heated floor! Also perfect location to explore Kyoto. Tokuji san was always very responsive during communications. Overall, highly recommended!

Lovely one bedroom flat located on a quiet one-way street in a residential neighborhood, but within walking distance of some great restaurants (including one that serves great okonomiyaki for a reasonable price). ~5 minutes' walk from Tsurugaoka station (JR Hanwa Line) & ~10+ minutes' walk from Nishitanabe metro station. Very kind and helpful host. Squeaky clean and well-appointed flat with all the amenities that one would need, including a few large umbrellas and a washer (no dryer). Fast reliable WiFi. Effective combined heating and air con unit. Like many homes and hotels in Japan (I suspect), space is a premium, so the toilet and shower are not designed for sumo wrestlers. As is typical of Japanese homes and hotels, the toilet seat includes a bidet, but there is no wash basin in the toilet. Though it is on a side road, one can hear vehicles passing by occasionally during the day. Calligraphy school upstairs, so quiet at night. Highly recommended. Will consider staying again.

We loved our stay at Sachi’s house so much that we didn’t want to leave. It is even more beautiful than the Airbnb photos - we were so pleasantly surprised. It was lovely to sleep on the comfortable futon and to sit in the tatami room. The townhouse was well equipped with kitchen and laundry facilities and the bathroom was spacious. The whole house was spotlessly clean and the area so peaceful and pretty. Our children loved the goldfish! Thank you for having us, we would love to return again another time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our host provided personal detailed instructions and was always available to help. The place was clean and well equiped. We loved the bikes and we're able to visit some of our tour spots with them. The traditional Japanese accommodation was an adventure for us and we liked being in a more local neighborhood setting versus downtown. Thanks to our hosts.

Staying at Koichi’s place made our Kyoto trip very special! He was very friendly and gave us a tour of the house. He also showed us around Kyoto, including a beautiful lookout where we saw all of the city. It was so wonderful staying at his place and experiencing a bit of traditional Kyoto. We also enjoyed the matcha offered there which you can purchase for a small price yum 😋 Next time we’re in Kyoto we will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Koichi!

The location is at heart of Kanazawa city, surrounded by department stores , book shops, Igazaya and fish market, give us the true taste of what life would be at Kanazawa. Few minutes walk to reach JR station, Kenrokuen, Kanazawa castle and many other museums, allows us to explore the glorious history of Kanazawa and hard work of Kanazawa art and craftsmanship. After all these, back to Y and K’s house, the design is so chic and simplistic with little touch of Japanese zen, everything is so calm and comfortable, perfect ending place for resting after the Kanazawa adventure and get ready for another next day.

I stayed at this place with a friend for two nights and was really impressed. The Machiya is well kept and in a good location. If I return to Kanazawa, I would be happy to stay here again.

The location of the house is very comfortable. The atmosphere of Kyoto is very good. You can walk to Kinkakuji Temple. What was lacking in the US was that it was very bright at night when sleeping at night with the street light right outside the room window right next door

Very beautiful and clean accomodation. We were a group of five and were able to just fit all of our luggages in. The inclusion of a second shower and second toilet was much appreciated. The Wi-Fi network was also very fast which we loved because some of us had to do work online while on holiday. Flexible check-in was greatly appreciated. I am glad we stayed here and would love to come back again.

We were very excited when we saw how new, clean and modern this place is. It looks like it has just been remodeled. For Japan, it was also quite spacious. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and very nice. This location is in a quieter neighborhood, but still close to Kyoto station (10 min walk). There were restaurants around, but not as many as there are on the other side of the train station, where there is a lot more tourist traffic and noise. That said, one of our favorite dinners of the whole trip was right around the corner from this place. Would be nice to have blackout shades in bedroom number 2, otherwise this place was perfect for us (family of 4) and served as a delightful oasis for us to return to after a full day in Kyoto.

Exactly what we needed after the last few weeks in hotels. It made us feel like we were locals for that moment. Everything is 10mins walk away and you’re close to the river for those sunrise/ sunset walks.

we had a great stay, we felt comfortable, we slept well. it was nice to stay in and experience japanese traditional living space. bed was comfortable, heater and heated floor rug kept us warm during the colder weather. space was nice and plenty for the 5 of us. locationwise was great since it was just 2-3 minutes walk to the train station and less than 10 minutes walk to Fushimi Inari shrine entrance. Sorrounding neighborhood was so peaceful. we loved it!

Beautiful house one station away from Kyoto station, the interior matches the description. The house has everything you might need amenities-wise. The futon beds are also very comfy. We enjoyed our stay.

I highly recommend Leo’s home. It’s located in an awesome neighborhood very close to Umeda. Despite its proximity to Osaka station the neighborhood is quiet and had a ton of cute shops and restaurants. The home was clean, spacious and perfect for our family of four. I highly recommend Leo’s home.

We really enjoyed our stay at this townhouse. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and hassle-free. The townhouse is near the centre of the city, making it incredibly easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and major attractions. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. One of our favourite features was the balcony—it offered a great spot to unwind after a day out and had a lovely atmosphere both during the day and in the evening. The shower and toilet facilities were also excellent—modern, clean, and very comfortable to use. Overall, the townhouse was exactly what we needed: well-located, well-equipped, and easy to settle into. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Beautiful architecture, home, and space. Very private and great for a large group. It was very quiet and peaceful for being so close to the city bustle. Endless options for food and drink around! The heated toilet seat and automated lid-opening and flushing felt extra luxurious. We loved our stay!

Our family of 6 had a great stay! We love that a high chair was available along with a few toys for our toddler. The location was very convenient, plenty of restaurants, markets, and convenience stores within a 5 minute walk. The ordinary beds were comfortable, but if you plan on sleeping in the tatami mat room, make sure you are used to sleeping on a very firm futon. The stairs were also more steep than the stairs we were used to, but it wasn't an issue even for the seniors in our group. Overall, the place was extremely clean and the host was very friendly and responsive. Glad we got to stay here!

This was our favorite place we stayed in Japan. It was larger than expected inside with a dining table and two spaces for tea. The sleeping area was also spacious and relaxing with shoji screens on all the windows. The neighborhood is very quiet and private with a nice stone path inside the gate. It's a 5 minute walk to Kyomizu-dera template, and 20 minutes to Gion. Walking back at night through the side streets is especially pleasant compared to staying in a hotel downtown.

Beautiful machiya-style home — very clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower and hot tub were amazing, a great and relaxing way to end each day. About a 10-minute walk to the train station, so easy to get around while still feeling peaceful and a bit secluded. Derrik was very communicative and friendly, and had a book with clear instructions for everything!

We had a pleasant time during our stay, and there was nothing inconvenient. There was an audio room and a theater room, which I was looking forward to, but unfortunately I couldn't use them because I didn't have much time to relax in the room due to the long hours I was out. I was almost always in the kitchen except when I was sleeping, but I had a relaxing time forgetting about time by looking at the courtyard and looking around the room. I was glad that every room was well-lit, fully equipped, and that I could adjust it to my liking and relax.

Tomomi’s place had everything we need for our two nights stay. Her place was clean and cosy. Her place had a private car parking which is helpful to those travelling by car. Tomomi responded quickly to our messages which made us feel at ease. Overall, we had a pleasant stay!
