Ryokan vacation rentals in Kamo River

This house is located in a fantastic location, only a 6 min walk from the nearest station. Shiho, the host, was very accommodating. She greeted us as we arrived and gave a house tour. She also asked how we were going and made sure everyone was okay, something that is rarely done for Airbnb hosts. Everything in the house was clean and organised, the beds and futons were comfortable, and overall we had a great time staying at this place.

Wonderful arcade setting with great shops & restaurants, and easy canal-side walking to Gion and Kiyomizudera. Great public transport at top end of arcade to other parts of the city. Highly recommended!

Best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! Great price for the value of the stay!

Was an amazing stay!!! Close to everything and also in a very nice and quiet area.

Great communication. Check in was easy. They even helped us ship our luggage at the end of our stay.

Very unique traditional Japanese stay must experience!

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.

Fantastic location a short walk from train but in a quiet residential neighborhood. Relatively spacious place with lovely design. (Caution for those with mobility issues: the stairs to second floor are steep.) Had toys that our granddaughter enjoyed, a big dining table that worked well for seven us to sit together to eat, talk or play games. Strong WiFi. Do bring eyeshades as the inside Exit signs are fairly bright at night. Host is responsive and helpful. Gave good recommendations: an awesome ramen place and bakery just a couple of minutes’ walk away, a public onsen a few minutes the other direction. Railway museum and a big playground are just a few minutes’ walk away. Highly recommend.

Katsuya's home is absolutely gorgeous. Every detail is so well considered. He has left a biography of the artists whose work is in the house, and a brief history of the renovation as well, which I found fascinating. Nothing is overlooked. A wonderful experience.

Amazing place to stay

Place was very clean, owner also introduced us to the amenities around the place.

We had a great stay at Unknown Kyoto. The location was ideal — just a short walk to Gion, but tucked away enough to be quiet and peaceful at night. It made exploring incredibly easy. The accommodation itself was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. Everything we needed was provided. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. Overall, it was a perfect base for our time in Kyoto.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Kyoto. The location was perfect—nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to train stations and major attractions. The house was spotlessly clean and designed in a charming, traditional Japanese style, which made our stay feel truly authentic. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, even assisting us with restaurant reservations. We absolutely loved the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto!

We had a fantastic stay at this place! We were a family of 4, and it accommodated us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The location was ideal for us—close to many things, but in a peaceful part of it. The place is tastefully decorated. Having access to a washing machine with dryer was so helpful! And most of all, our host was so kind, helpful, and friendly! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great place for more traditional stay. Heads up for taller people, lots of places to bang your head into.

Beautiful and unique space in Kyoto! We only stayed here one night but the private outdoor space and bath was a very unique and appreciated feature especially after a long day of roaming around the city

It was an amazing stay. The room was clean and comfortable. A really authentic experience! Plus the homemade breakfast was fabulous:)

An excellent local guest house with a delicious traditional breakfast.

The first time I came to Japan with friends, this accommodation experience was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, satisfying our imagination of a Japanese homestay. There were also convenience stores and public bus stops nearby. Life and transportation were very convenient. The host was also very friendly. There was also a delicious breakfast every morning. If I come to Kyoto next time, I will definitely choose this place again without hesitation.

Staying at this AIRBNB was an amazing experience. The host was on top of everything, and was so nice. 👍 I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an escape from the city. The surroundings were breathtaking.

Chieri was welcoming and the perfect host. Together with her mother Kauri-san and beautiful WabiSuke, they made us feel at home and gave us a little experience of living within a Japanese Community which is what we were seeking. From inviting us to a local Sushi restaurant to allowing us to share her Tea Ceremony class, Chieri has made our short stay truly memorable.

The courtyard is really beautiful!Although the soundproofing is not very good, the guests staying in the homestay are very civilized, and you can't hear any noise at night!If you haven't tried staying in a traditional Japanese house, Riyu is a great place

the house is beautiful, especially the family room is very worthwhile. the bathroom is common but this never gave problems. the breakfast was really exquisite, the staff one by one very sympathetic. ok would very much like to go back.

We were greeted by a kind and fun couple, and we had a fulfilling time.Thank you very much. The room was neat and very comfortable.There are lots of stylish shops in the surrounding area.
