Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kyoto

We had a party of four who stayed for a full week. It was amazing. Location was perfect and quiet and it was centrally located to both Kyoto and Osaka

Very warm and helpful household (luggage room option). Good location (quiet and few minutes to Kyoto Station). Rooms very clean, spacious and cosy; beds very comfortable. Everything as described. I highly recommend it!

The hosts were super welcoming, accommodating and responsive to all of our needs and concerns. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay and the location was very convenient especially for our first time.

Our stay at Yamashita’s beautiful 100-year-old Japanese villa in Kyoto was the perfect way to end our 2 week vacation in Japan. The house is spacious, very clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our group of 12. It has everything you need and more. It has a serene garden, jacuzzi, and sauna—the kids especially loved the jacuzzi! Yamashita is an EXCEPTIONAL host—very warm, helpful, and accommodating. She drove us to supermarkets and places we wanted to go and even picked us up for a small fee. She prepared simple yet delicious breakfasts. She was quick to respond to messages and even guided us on using local buses. Though the house is a bit far from the touristy areas, the peace and quiet of Yamashita’s home made it the perfect retreat. It offered a more authentic and relaxing experience of Japan. I highly recommend Yamashita’s villa to anyone looking for comfort, culture, and outstanding hospitality. And to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay in a traditional Japanese home.

This is a really cute and quiet area. Much needed for all the hectic travel days. Saki helped accommodate us and was very responsive when trying to figure out addresses when forwarding the luggage from our previous location. This is a must checkout spot!

We had a lovely stay at this authentic and beautifully maintained Airbnb in Kyoto. It was perfect for two couples, with clean, separate bedrooms and all amenities thoughtfully provided. The traditional design added to the charm, and the washing machine was a helpful bonus. The only small downside was that the kitchen and dining area on the lower level were a bit dark, but overall, it was a comfortable and peaceful place to stay. Highly recommended!

Right from when we made the booking Mercury was a ing, a she helped us get transport from Kyoto airport to the property, the restaurant next door was cute and the food was amazing( we went back every night). the property was lovely and homely, the neighbourhood around were so friendly and welcoming. Mercury was a super host. she took us to the Sunday market, took us visiting the local sights and even the local bakery. She even loaned us bicycle to visit the local Areas. She always had recommendations on where to go and what to do. Helped us arrange transport when we needed. On check out she was even more supportive. My girls and wife love her and we will visit again for sure!!!!!! If you are bored of the city life and want to relax and umwind this is the spot for you. Did i forget to mention the karaoke box, we didnt get to use it but this was a nice touch.

We spent 3 nights in Kyoto with our family of four. The small house is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood and within walking distance from the imperial gardens, the Gion neighbourhood, the river and a huge shopping arcade. We appreciated the quietness after the busy “must see” places in Kyoto. The house is small but has everything needed for 4 😊

If you’re looking for a convenient place to stay in Kyoto close to lively life, Ken’s place is perfect. The entry is on a beautiful tree lined street on a canal surrounded by restaurants and bars and in the back the deck over looks the Kami River and biking/walking path. The apartments quiet. Wonderful amenities if you want to cook or do laundry. The apt., although well equipped with everything you may need as if you were at home, is a bit tight in the entry, kitchen, bath and toilet area. Not a big deal if you don’t mind beautiful aesthetics. It’s nothing glamorous but who needs that when you’re traveling. You should be outside most of the time! You can pay a fortune and stay at a hotel or be extremely comfortable at Ken’s place. Would definitely recommend and stay again if we ever come back to Kyoto! And worth mentioning…. Ken is a wonderful host and he was quick to respond and give thoughtful suggestions.

A beautiful, cozy apartment in the heart of Gion district Kyoto. Location is excellent. We enjoyed seeing geishas and meikos regularly on evening walks just outside the apartment. It was close to hiking trails, many sightseeing destinations, trains, restaurants, etc. In the heart of everything. And yet super quiet, being on 4th floor with no neighbors (above or on sides) in an alley. Only downside is that the kitchen is very efficient, single burner, no counter space, etc. But you should be mostly eating out anyway. Also there is a red light at night in the main room from the fire alarm—we had to cover it with a jacket to sleep. Not sure what other reviewers thought was deceptive—it was as I expected, and honestly the view is phenomenal. Yes there is a parking lot but you can hardly see it and beyond that are the beautiful Kyoto hills and tops of temples peaking out. Tatami room was wonderfully cozy. Furniture and linens were quality. Stayed super warm inside. We miss it already!!

Everything was fine. They were clear and responsive when you needed it. The place was nice and peaceful—a good location between the two main stations.

firstly. ken is the most helpful and wonderful person in japan. he went above and beyond to help with all queries even when it wasn't connected to his accomodation. super nice person. very responsive. always will to help kens accomodation is beautifully located right by the river and close to really awesome bars and restaurants and great areas to walk around in the accomodation itself is small. but perfect for two people. because ken has done up the apartment very very thoughtfully. it's awesome every small thing in the apartment was taken care of. the highlight of this apartment is the beautiful terrace it has. the terrace is far better than that pics . really big with beautiful views. ken thank you so so much for being so helpful from the very start.

Depending on your style of travel, Kyoto can be an overwhelming place. Seibido Inn felt like a safe house away from the touristy madness, yet still close enough to access the major destinations easily. Some of my favorite parts of my stay were the quiet walks home.

A lovely authentic Japanese home. Well designed with all of the essentials. A nice quiet neighborhood close to amenities and the city center.

This time, I went to Kansai with my friends, stayed at Xiaodai's house for three nights, it was really great, the elegant Japanese tatami villa, the interior is also beautiful, the living inside is very comfortable, the villa is located in the rich part of Kyoto, the environment is very good, although it is not in the center of the city, the amenities are very good, the subway and convenience stores are within a very short walk.And then, Sister Dai is really super nice!Very enthusiastic. He answered all kinds of questions on WeChat before checking in. He drove to Kyoto to pick us up at Yamashina Station on the day of arriving, and then gave us a detailed introduction of how to play in Kyoto. How to take a car, let us contact her on WeChat at any time when we encounter problems. The last night also took out a treasure of wine. It made me feel like a host, but a good friend who has been hosting me in Japan for many years.

It was a nice, almost four storey apartment. The place is 20 mins away from the station. But it was a nice walk from the station if the weather is good. The view from the place is great. You can see the lake and the mountain. We love the nature the most.

The building, garden, facilities, etc., all showed the owner's elegant and lovely personality, and it was a very beautiful place to stay. The explanation and support were very polite and helpful. The BBQ and fire in the garden, which was like a painting with the scent of Japanese cedar, were exceptional and fun. The breakfast provided was also very delicious, and everyone had a very satisfying trip from start to finish. I'd love to visit again if I get the chance.

this is a most amazing place we have ever stayed with air bnb, kitchen is equipped with all necessary cooking stuff and even various seasoning, bedrooms are superb.... Children have plenty of space inside the building and backyard for running, the space is more than enough for our 12 people group. ......... Perfect.......
