Great View! 46 ㎡ Hi condo 29F Overlooking Sapporo! Jet bath and 100 inch suite theater room!
I think it's hard to find an accommodation where you can see this much scenery & night view for this amount in Sapporo. The best accommodation where all my friends who came with me were satisfied!!! If I come back to Sapporo next time, it was definitely an accommodation I would visit again.

Hostel Fukuoka .com Canal City no.1 (Tax included)
It's clean and nice ~ The location is good. I especially liked the chairs and the low bed for small children.

5 min from JR Namba near Dotonbori Horie YouTube
This was such an amazing stay! The location was always withing 7-12 min walk from any train station, which made any of our daily adventures a breeze to travel to and an easy walk home after a long day of walking. The room is very clean, relaxing and comfortable which is much needed after the busy streets of Dontonbori, which is a very accessible from this airbnb! Yikiko was friendly and helpful from her very first message. She was always quick to answer any questions or concerns that we had. 100% would come back again, whenever I find myself on Osaka.

Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ 3rd floor/ Wood bath
Loved our stay in Kyoto. Apartment was in a good, quiet location, very clean and tidy and walking distance to conveniences.

Dotonbori 5 min walk! Riverfront Large room!
Great place to stay, good space and near Dontombori’s landmarks and a great view from the balcony.

1min 4to Skytree , stations,1h direct airports 70㎡
The location of Hiromi's place was incredible and very walkable to Oshiage station and the Solamachi mall! We frequented the mall directly across the street, used the direct access from Narita and also to Disney. The view of Skytree was beautiful! The ease to 7-11 almost next door was very convenient. Hiromi was very quick to respond to all my questions, friendly, provided clear instructions and resolved a small issue brought to her attention. The home was exactly as described, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as it made our first trip to Japan very comfortable. I highly recommended this home!

Osaka Dotonbori Riverside.4minutesfromNambaStation
Best location for dotonbori madness but in a calm street. Typical japanese appartment

【Newly built 2LDK】Luxury room near Asahikawa sta.
All rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable. There was a couch and TV in the living room, so it was good for gathering and resting together, and there was also a table in the kitchen, so it was good for eating. The bathroom bathtub was big and very clean, and it was especially nice that there were plenty of towels!!
Waterfront house rentals

RIVERBANK Hiraiso - Ocean Front Vacation House
I left something behind, but they handled it very kindly and delivered it to me nearby.I definitely want to stay again next time. The interior was very clean and easy to use.The windows are large, open, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of being near the sea. If I had to say, I would have been more grateful if there had been safety measures on the stairs, as we have small children and the stairs were steep and dangerous.I thought there were many families with children, so I'm writing this in case it's helpful in the future.Overall, including the hospitality, I was very satisfied and would definitely stay again next time.Thank you for this stay.

Pets welcome!Lake Biwa Arigatou House in Omihachiman is perfect for a workcation where you can stay like you live there
amazing place felt right at home in a lovely tradicional japanese house that I would bring home if I could. the hosts are really careful an attentive, the lake and surroundings are just beautiful

Private waterfront vacation home for Family,sakura
This place was awesome and even though I was a solo traveller I used all the rooms. The kitchen had everything I needed to make simple meals (even proper knives) and the bathroom/ shower was spacious and clean. Ryoko was a terrific host. She was able to answer all my questions and was so helpful in every way. This was the best value place I think I have ever stayed in, across 3 countries. If you do not cope well with steep stairs (about 10, I think) then you won't like this place. My legs got a good workout using them. Great views from the top floor. Many thanks.

Ekichika, Kaichika, 8-person private guest house
It was much more beautiful than I imagined and had amenities. It is as comfortable and beautiful as a hotel! We also enjoyed the BBQ and had a great trip to Fukui!

Private villa on Enoshima island / 江の島の島内にある貸切の一軒家
We loved staying at Ted’s place on Enoshima! It was wonderful to stay directly on the island and in such a comfortable space too. I would highly recommend this place for families or groups of friends to have a blast at.

(Ajitsu HouseSEI)
Great place and a great host! Having been blocked on a motorcycle by the snow we arrived late and she was waiting for us to welcome us. The hot pot prepared by our host after several hours of motorcycling in the cold did us a world of good! Thank you so much!

Renting the whole guest house Yadokari.
This great lovingly furnished cottage is our favorite of our trip. Rei and Akira picked us up from the bus stop with the pick-up and car. The house is directly on the sea, you can hike right from home or relax in the house, cook with bluck on the sea and much more! It's a pity that we only stayed here for one night. The place invites you to linger. Warmest recommendation!

Cozy house located in front of the sea and harbor!
We loved our stay at Mariko’s place. It had lots of space and felt very homely. The kitchen is very well stocked and the bathroom is lovely, with great views of the harbour from the bath. Mariko was a fantastic and very responsive host. She also recommended local places for lunch/dinner. The neighbours are very friendly too.

[Limited to 1 group per day] 30 seconds to the sea! Kurage-an Miyakawa, a safe private lodging (BBQ available/1 free parking space)
Quiet town, house is seconds away from the beach! convenience store within 5 minutes walk. Had a great stay!

[N300] Two-bedroom Condo near Nusamai Bridge (3F)
The price was cheap and very spacious and comfortable. Also, there was a downtown area nearby, and I had no trouble having dinner every night. The host also gave me recommendations for shops, which was very friendly.

Oceanfront condominium with stunning views!
Very satisfied with our stay. The place was very clean and exactly as pictured.

Rybanya - Studio Condominium
Sooo beautiful! Had a super nice and chill time here enjoying the snow and sea. Host was also very helpful and responsive. Thank you so much! I'll be back!

Beachfront room with free marine items in Okinawa
The location and the room were so great. it’s so special to have the beautiful private beach right at front of the house. Therefore the garbage on the beach… was given us feel very sad in contrast. it’s a good authentic Okinawa experience to have a chill days on the island being away from crowds. We enjoy the small community and the corner store near by. We will definitely visit again and give a help cleaning the beach next time;) The host was very responsive and let us use their SUP boards. The weather didn’t allow us to enjoy it but thank you very much for the preparation.

Recommended hotel, 1-minute walk to the beach,★ Minato Chatan★ Seaside Condominium
We stayed on the 5th floor. The place is close to the sea wall popular to fisherman, scuba divers and surfers. Very close San A market and small restaurants. Nice location and host.

Sleeps up to 10! Gion Shijo Station is a 1-minute walk. It is in a good location overlooking Yasaka Shrine, Chion-in, and Minamiza from the window. Pets are allowed!
This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

Private ocean view, spacious balcony, new building, 1-minute walk to the sea
I just wanted to say that. The sunrise, moon, and sea from the balcony are great✨ 3 rooms can be used by 6 people I'm grateful for the washer and dryer. They also answered questions politely😊 I look forward to staying here again.🩷
