Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kamigyo Ward

great location, super quiet. could use more heating in the winter (bathroom & shower cold), but would totally stay again!

We had a fantastic stay in Kyoto as a family of four. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the train station and 7-11, which made getting around and grabbing essentials super easy. The house itself had so much space, with separate upstairs and downstairs areas, and the deep spa bath was a real treat after long days exploring. The tech throughout the house was impressive and made everything really convenient. Most of all, our host was absolutely lovely—going above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Highly recommend!

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!

Great location! Nishiki market was a 2 minute walk. Family mart was just around the corner. Everything was close and convenient. We love the free refreshments and some nice gifts when we arrived. We love it so much we’re already planning my next trip. LOL

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!

A very comfortable and quiet area, conveniently close to Kyoto Station. If you don’t have too much luggage, it’s just a 15-minute walk—or one stop by train. Great value for money, very cozy. Highly recommended!

This place had a great location for bus stations leading to many attractions in the Higashiyama area. The bath tub was awesome. The rooms were more spacious than most of the other places we’ve stayed at in Japan. It felt like a traditional Japanese home without sacrificing on modern amenities. The washer/dryer was a huge plus to have. Can’t recommend enough!

We had a good stay. Mineral noise since it was in a residential area. Walkable to public transit and Nishiki Market. AC was very good. Washer and dryer worked well for small loads.

Totally recommend staying here. It’s at a great location. Right in front of a 711 and right next to a really good restaurant. Mio is a very nice person. Thank you for the stay we loved it

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.

We loved our stay at Yamano’s place. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, but it was just a short walk to the river, bus stop, and train station. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind. They met us at check in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They also sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area.

I can’t say enough great things about Uzu’s place. It was so clean and comfortable. When we checked in she was very thorough about the house and also about the surrounding areas and places to go. She had a great hand drawn map of the area that we actually used a lot! The traditional beds we chose to sleep in were very comfortable. Everything in the house is labeled which makes it very easy to find things. Uzu went out of her way to show us local restaurants and spots to try. She is a very friendly host that cares about making her guests stays very enjoyable! One thing we found was that it was a bit out of the way of central Kyoto. However, if you want to experience a quiet traditional neighborhood this is the spot! It’s about a 10 min walk to the closest train station or bus stop. Outside of the house are also LUUP bikes/scooters you can rent through an app. I would de

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!

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.

We felt right at home from the first moment, and we had an extremely comfortable stay. Shimpei is really kind, respond and considerate. we appreciate his efforts to meet us personally and provide everything we need. full amenities are provided, organized and equipped. The accommodation is located in a quiet local neighborhood, about 7min walk from bus stations. Thanks for the worm and kind host! Highly recommend. Hope to be back at future :)

Misaki was an amazing host and so accommodating. My friend and I arrived an hour early and we were able to keep our bags at the house so we could walk around the neighborhood! Misaki was also very responsive when we had questions about the air conditioning unit.

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto at Hiroe’s home. It was a great authentic experience and she was a great host who met us for checkin and explained how to use everything. Thank you

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

We stayed here for few days during our Japan trip. The house was beautiful and you can get a true guesthouse experience. Location was good, in a quiet neighborhood and not too far from public services and some good temple sights with almost zero crowds. Owner was very kind and responded quickly to any questions. Book this if you want to experience living in a traditional Japanese residence.

It was a fabulous time staying at Koichi’s house! Koichi and his wife were very hospitable, introduced all the details of the house. We definitely will visit them again

We loved staying at Akiko’s. It was clean, comfortable and quiet in a neat neighborhood in Kyoto. The bikes were great! Kitchen was nice and we enjoyed going to the grocery store. The location is a little bit away from some things we wanted to do in Kyoto, but we loved exploring a non touristy neighborhood. Thank you, Akiko!
