Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Kansai

The Airbnb was located a distance from town at a peaceful and quaint neighbourhood. The suzuki lapin that came with the room was a delight and useful in getting around when driving to nearby restaurants and family mart, and even to koyasan and kobe. Though it failed to start at one point, the host was helpful in coming down to jump start the vehicle. Was not used to the thinness of the futon bed but overall the Airbnb was worth its value.

The location is very close to one of the stations connecting to Kyoto station which made getting around super easy. The accommodation was nice and spacious whilst also feeling cozy. Checking in was really easy. I turned up the day after I was due to check in and they had left my key in a locker on reception which made the whole process so much easier. Host was super helpful and made sure everything was okay.

The Uno Port Inn was perfectly located right between the train station and port and served as the perfect launching point for our visits to Naoshima and Teshima. The Miyazaki room was small and the bathroom was down the hall, but it was all as described and served our needs fine. We appreciated the very friendly and proactive staff that was always there in the lobby to greet us every day, and the breakfast was a nice bonus as well. We had a very beautiful, quiet stay.

I am writing this review on behalf of our group after having the best Airbnb experience in my life. Natsuki-sama is the best Airbnb host that I've came across and Kinori is the best Airbnb that I've been to. Period. We were lucky to be in Gujo during Spring Festival and thanks to Natsuki she warned us about it in advance, gave instructions on how to best follow the festival – and we had a blast! Probably the most vivid memories from Japan across our 2 trips there. I want to wish the best to this home and Natsuki-sama, especially. If you are reading reviews to decide whether it is worth it or not – I was in the same spot few months ago when booking – and I want to tell you that look no more and book while you can. You will have the best experience and get to appreciate the beautiful town of Gujo.

Great location and very comfortable bed!!

We stayed four fabulous nights at Higashiyama Hills. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood with its close proximity to the trains, friendly atmosphere, and wonderful restaurants. Our host was always responsive and the recommendations they left for us proved to be spot on. Don’t hesitate to book this spot; the rooms may be small but every inch is efficient. 10/10 would book again!

We had a great stay at TOKA/Kyoto! Even the room is small it felt very comfortable and we were able to lay down two bigger suitcases. The area is great, walking distance to cafes, restaurants, the river and bus stops. We have to point out that the staff went beyond to help us redirecting a parcel we got send from our previous hotel to TOKA. They were so helpful, calling the post agency and helping us out. Thanks again! All the staff we met were super friendly :)

A wonderful place to use as a headquarters while visiting Kyoto for a week. Quiet neighborhood with wonderful restaurants within walking distance; tasty food by kind owners who care. Good grocery stores for breakfast staples, comfortable studio with the kindest, most communicative host we ever met. Clean as could be, and no noisy neighbors.

Nice stay at Karen’s place! About 25 minute walk to the centre. Room is smaller than the pictures but ideal for what you need it for. Nice walk by the canal outside the hotel and the host is extremely responsive! :)
