Vacation rentals with breakfast in Kyoto

Thank you Akiko for responding very quickly every time I contacted you and taking care of a lot of things~! It was my first experience staying at a local foreigner's house, and I had a comfortable stay since they kindly informed me well! However, transportation can be a little inconvenient if you want to go to famous places in Kyoto or Osaka. But the neighborhood is really quiet and secluded, so it feels like a local.

When we first arrived in Kyoto, Aunt Yoko took the initiative to pick us up at the bus stop and gave us a lot of good travel advice in the two days of our stay. Her warm and friendly and deeply helped our two travelers to Japan for the first time, wishing Aunt Yoko healthy and forever happy.

Our thanks to these great hosts who were very accommodating from the first inquiry all the way to checkouut. A very friendly family who truly welcome you to their village and home. The thatched cottage was as advertised and the experience of staying out in the countryside was perfect. Not a complaint, but just stating the house is an old house with low hanging beams, which an average height persob bumped their head 5 times in 3 nights 😉. But again fully recommend Yoshiko-san's Mitoya cottage, a nice peaceful stay.

I had such an amazing stay here! I stayed for about 1 month, and enjoyed every second of it. The house is themed beautifully with British decorations, so I felt right at home. The amenities and all provided and everything was clean. Mari is such an amazing host - kind, helpful and funny. And Gon is an amazing co-host - very cute and friendly! The house is located in a peaceful residential area not too far from the train station which Mari picked me up from on my arrival date. There are shops, parks and temples not far from the house, so lots to do if you want a day to explore nearby. When checking in, Mari provided super helpful suggestions and advice and made sure to explain how to use everything and answer any questions. Mari’s english is also amazing so you shouldn’t have trouble communicating if you only speak English. I would 100% recommend to anyone to come and stay here, and would love to come back in the future. ありがとうございます！

Overall very satisfied! The actual usable area of the room is large, without the feeling of being cramped, and it is very relaxing when you come home to rest, decorated in the style of an old Japanese house, worth savoring. It should be noted that the house is located on a hillside, and it will consume a certain amount of walking energy every day, so it is not recommended for the elderly and people with mobility issues, but it is very suitable for people who are healthy and love sports and hiking. There are no convenience stores nearby, so remember to buy what you need before you go home, but Larry provides a lot of snacks, drinks, and ingredients, including fresh eggs, tofu, and more, so you can make your own breakfast and meet most of your needs. There are very cute cats and dogs! Kyoto's climate is relatively humid, and it can be cold in the morning and evening. The blanket is a bit narrow, and Larry helped with another thin blanket. It is recommended to prepare a wider one in the future ~ Looking forward to staying again next time, thank you for your hospitality!

Keiko's beautiful house is located on a quiet and charming mountain. The house is very traditional Japanese style, and you can experience the rich local atmosphere here.Keiko keeps the garden very beautiful and natural. The most praiseworthy thing is Keiko's daily breakfast, which is never the same and always carefully prepared. It's really delicious!The lunch and dinner were more abundant than the ones I had outside.Ms. Keiko is kind and friendly, and she will pick up and drop off guests every day. We had a lot of fun talking in the car, and I learned a lot of Japanese.I have fallen deeply in love with Kyoto this time. The wonderful memories of learning to make octopus balls under Keiko's guidance in the morning will always be in my mind. I will stay in Keiko's house again next time!

One of the best experiences I’ve had on an air bnb. Yoko was super friendly and if you needed anything she would help you and give you local recommendations :) and she spoiled us with fresh fruit and snacks for us to try. I would definitely stay here again!

We are sincerely thankful to our Korean Mom host for making us feel right at home. We highly reccomend this wonderful stay for anybody who is looking to visit kyoto. On two occasions, us locking our key inside the room and almost missing our train at the station, our host assisted us enormously, going out of her way (alongside the other male host who was very friendly and helpful) to make sure our trip went as planned. We cannot thank them enough! If you are looking for a place that is comfy, affordable and a bit out of the busyness of Kyoto (while still being within 20-25 minutes of centre), this is the place for you. Good restaurant locations, that are traditional and affordable nearby, and lots of amenities. Thank you Korean Mom!

The host was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for me since I was attending a conference at the international conference centre (20 minute walk). The facilities were excellent for the price.

This guest house is will be the best choice. The host tommy is very kind and mindful. He speaks english very well, so someone who didn't speak japanese will be satified. Also, the domitory bed was very nice. It's cozy and comfotable. And Tommy will give you breakfast If you request. The toast was tasty. I recommend this guest house, you will not regret your choice. Thank you tommy!

Albeit brief, this was my favorite stay of my entire Japan trip. The hosts were incredibly friendly and always proactive in making sure we felt at home not just in our accommodation but also in Kyoto and the lovely and peaceful neighborhood the townhome resides in. They made sure to follow up every question we had and made sure we were able to travel and make our next destination smoothly. We had some stressful travel beforehand, but they were extremely flexible in made our trip much easier. Also their cute daily breakfast was delicious and every single room had so much personality. It has a shared common space and bathroom but it never felt inconvenient and also allows you to get a one of a kind experience in Kyoto. The price was also incredibly reasonable and a great value. I look forward to returning next time I’m in town!

I really enjoyed staying at Hide-san's property as it was conveniently located next to tourist attractions spots and had good access to transport links to other attractions. The room I stayed in also had a very authentic Japanese style design, which gave me the traditional Japanese experience I was looking for. Hide-san also showed me great hospitality and I enjoyed the many conversations that we had. The breakfast made by Hide-san also tasted really nice and it had a very homely feel to it. Overall, I'd recommend this property if you're looking for an authentic and traditonal Japanese experience in Kyoto. If I come to Japan again then I'll make future reservations at this property.

What a beautiful traditional Japanese home to stay We totally loved the old house, beautiful decorations, the inner courtyard and our room. Everything was perfect! Chieri is a great host, we felt very welcomed and home right away. We were on a road trip, so we also enjoyed that we could wash our clothes. And we tried out the traditional japanese bath. Perfect! Chieri, thank you for everything! Hope to see you someday again!

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Kyoto! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help out with any questions or needs. The location is great – it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest station and equally close to popular spots like Sanjo and Nishiki Market, making it easy to explore the area. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the breakfast. It wasn’t just a standard continental breakfast – each morning, they prepared a full, delicious spread for every guest, which was such a treat to start the day. You could really feel the care and effort they put into making everyone feel at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The only minor issue was the washer and dryer, which are a bit dated. The dryer took a while to dry a half load, so I’d recommend doing smaller loads or planning laundry for when you have some time to hang out. Overall, I loved my stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting!

I planned a trip to Kyoto with a classic B&B vibe in mind and while there was no opportunity to eat all together, Tsukiya was perfect! Location was exactly where we wanted to be in the city, with easy access to public transit and even walkable areas. The breakfasts every morning were thoughtfully crafted starting about 2 hours beforehand. The space was authentic - highly recommend to anyone going to Kyoto!

Staying at John’s place in Shiga was an unforgettable experience! John is an incredibly passionate and energetic host, always full of enthusiasm. He and his lovely wife, Rika, made me feel right at home. They even invited me to join their family for a delicious homemade dinner, and Rika kindly provided breakfast as well. Their son, Andre, was also very friendly, and I truly enjoyed our conversations. The house itself is a charming countryside cottage surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a perfect getaway. If you’re visiting Shiga, staying with John is an absolute must! Highly recommended!

My stay at Miyagon was great. I was picked up from the train station and there was a well-organized check-in. The place was clean and exactly as described. In addition, complimentary drinks and snacks were available. There was super delicious breakfast every morning, partly with local fruits that I had never eaten before. Miyagon himself was super friendly, always easily accessible and gave me a lot of useful tips for the trip. Thanks to a translation device, which you always had with you, communication was also easy. The house is located directly on a street that is full of cherry trees. In addition, there are many restaurants and shopping opportunities in the immediate vicinity. The only thing I found a pity is that I didn't book the place for a longer period.
