Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kyoto

This was a beautiful and peaceful stay in the country side. Shun was so kind and picked us up at the train station and took us to the supermarket as it was dinner time and restaurants were closed. His wife drove us to the station day of check out which was extremely kind. Great place to stay to get away from the city with a great host!

Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

It was a great experience. Thank you

We stayed here for two nights and we only wish we've stayed longer and have spent more time exploring Kameoka while we were there. This house has a beautiful layout and structure that provided us so much serenity and the opportunity to appreciate the nature in surroundings. At the same time, Christian Is the warmest host we could ask for, being a dad of three kids with the youngest at 2, he came to pick us up on both evenings (the second day was actually quite late at night), helped us arrange the amazing experience of making and tasting soba with a sensai from the area, and made us delicious breakfast in the mornings.. We'd definitely love to come back and explore more of the area with Christian and recommend It to anyone who would like to experience the countryside life with easy access to the city!

Excellent location with peaceful surroundings and walking distance to all amenities. Spotless clean house.

Great place to stay in Kyoto!

I would give more stars than 5 if I could. The place was very authentic and it was an amazing experience. Do not worry - the beds are comfortable and the mattress is thicker than I thought! If you are tall you do have to mind your head but my husband is 6'2" and managed :D The host picked us up from the station and the other host was waiting to greet us at the property. Both hosts very extremely friendly and so helpful with explaining everything. Amazing location. Overall 100% recommend!

A clean and tidy traditional home in Kyoto. Well located near the train station and in a very quiet neighbourhood. the host left very clear guides for locating the house and checking in.

Quiet and great place to stay in Kyoto with a spacious open floor plan

Shared bicycles can be rented next door for easy travel

Everything was perfect!! Clean, confortable , room was big, kind people!! 10/10

Place was very clean. Close walk to Kyoto station and easy to find.

great location and host!

One of the best airbnbs we have had in Japan. A nice neighborhood to discover in the evening, with many restaurants. Close to a metro and train station. The place itself was sparkling clean and comfortable.

This small house is a unique experience. Sitting on the balcony in front of the creek is very comfortable and delicious. Sleeping at the tatame house was very special. The kitchen is small I recommend only for small meals. The house is fresh and the bathroom and showers are well equipped. Thank you .

We loved this place! It was so convenient and comfortable, just what we needed. I would definitely recommend this place for whatever you have planned in Kyoto.becuas of how easy it is to get around and how comfortable it is when you get back from a full day.

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

The place is very clean, neat and tidy. Has really good quality amenities including an espresso machine, a dryer room. It's very easy to find as it appears on the map directly when you put House Nozomi Hayashi San is very responsive and looked into one of our concerns immediately. It's near a bus stop with multiple buses going into the town. Katsuragawa station is about 1.5 KM, so bit of a walk when you have luggage or are tired. But we got cabs fairly easily. Do your research on places you want to travel to in Kyoto so you can see if the location works for you. In terms of convenience, lots of shops, supermarkets etc are available. It feels spacious. It would have been better to have access to the wardrobe, but we had a short stay so we did not mind living out of our suitcases. Overall good place, good amenities, location is good but that's subjective. Good, professional host.

Comfortable place to stay in! Despite being a little far from the city center, it is near several train stations and there are plenty of local shops around the area. The place itself is also very cozy even though it is on the smaller side; it has all the amenities you would need. Izumi is an incredibly kind and proactive host who always responds to our queries promptly. On the day of our checkout, he kindly offered us breakfast and to drive us to the nearby train station - all for free! I would definitely recommend anyone who's looking to visit Kyoto to stay here.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

Very helpful hosts and great house. Convenient location with many restaurants and amenities nearby.

Great little apartment which was surprisingly spacious for Japan!

This is an extraordinary place. The location is in the heart of the buzzing Gion district, and everything easily walkable. They hosts were helpful & flexible with us leaving bags before and after. The space is unbelievable and rare. It's very spacious, which was a relief after being crammed in prior hotels. Basically it is a giant and very cool room, with attached bathroom and laundry wing. Bedding comfy. The place feels funky. It has absolutely everything you could need. It is not a shared space with anyone else, it's all yours and private. We travelled with 2 toddlers and the space was perfect. Huge room to run and climb, with plastic kitchenware, toys and books. As the host mentions, it is across the hall from a rooftop bar that can be a little noisy, but also distant bars and the district is noisy and busy in general, it was okay. It was neat and fine but could use a deep clean (it would be a hard space to keep perfect), but overall wonderful. 10/10.
