Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kyoto

The home is very special and unique. We are a family of two adults, a 16yo and 8yo. We all loved the home traditional aspects of the home with modern appliances. Even though the home is nestled into a neighborhood, it is a short walk to the gorgeous river, a huge grocery store and a little further are bus stops and train stations. The bikes were such a gift and we enjoyed using them. Although we didn't use them, it was thoughtful to have rain jackets and umbrellas available. Hiroe met us promptly even after a time change with little notice. She was efficient and thorough in her directions. We felt grateful to stay in such a lovely and comfortable home.

I recently stayed at Saito’s place and had a wonderful experience! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The place was thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to one of the attraction, restaurants, and subway station, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again, Saito, for being such a great host. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

We had a fantastic stay at Hori’s house - place is amazing - very traditional style - the futons are very comfortable, felt very well every morning - kitchen is well equipped and there is huge collection of music cds. Kids have enjoyed the extra space and made their tv room, there are many toilets and bathrooms and location is short walk from Kyoto main station (15mins) or Gojo station(5mins) it’s a nice quiet street and we can highly recommend staying there!

Our family of 7 had a truly wonderful stay at Kimi’s place in Kyoto. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable trip. Kimi and his wife were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even surprised us with gifts, which made our stay even more special. When we accidentally left an item behind, Kimi graciously arranged to have it delivered to us, showing such care and hospitality. Throughout our stay, communication was easy, warm, and helpful. We could really feel the heart they put into hosting, and we are so grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you again, Kimi and Marilyn!

Very satisfied with a stay, the host was friendly and responsive. Accommodation: As described in the photos, it was clean and a bit cold just getting up during the day.The bed is very soft and I slept very well.It is also more fully equipped.The help manual provided by the host was perfect. Transportation: It is not a long walk to the subway port, and it may take multiple transfers to several famous places in the city, but within acceptable range. Surroundings: In a residential area, it is quiet at night, it is a short walk to 711.At the same time, I experienced several merchants recommended by the host, and it was a good experience and worth trying.

Very nice house. Clean and tidy.

Lovely house on a quiet street - highly recommend Yakiniku Steak restaurant just up the road.

Our group of 8 stayed at this Air BnB during our three night stay in Kyoto. This place has two floors and the top and bottom floor are copies of each other. I really liked that each floor had their own washer/dryer, fridges and bathrooms. The area has a lot of good restaurants and it is fairly close to Nishkiki market along with other attractions. The Air BnB comes with a booklet of recommendations for restaurants and clear instructions on the home;

Conversation was easy) Apartment clean and nice) All notable places of Kyoto easy reachable (metro walking 5 minutes) - Nishiki market must visit!) arigato gozaimasu!

The place is clean and nice, the host is very responsive. The only comment is no curtain in window its bright

May's place is conveniently located near Nishiti Market and public transportation. She was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to assist when I got lost. May personally messaged me directions, met me outside, and warmly welcomed me at the front door. An excellent host—I highly recommend staying at her place.

Staying at Asami and Daniel's place was honestly the highlight of my whole trip. After being collected and escorted from the train station to the apartment, I was given bits of history about the neighbourhood and recommendations for food by Daniel. Upon arrival Asami greeted me and showed me how to use some of the more confusing amenities which was really helpful. I took them up on some of their suggested sightseeing and definitely wasn't disappointed, a stunning trek up Mt Kurama was my first pick. During my entire stay both were extremely kind and conscientious and shared so much knowledge with me, giving me a small peek into the lives of the locals. When leaving the city to head to Osaka, I was very kindly escorted back to the train station and send a message when I got home safely. Kyoto will definitely be the city I come back to on my next visit to Japan and staying with Asmai and Daniel again would be a treat!

It is such an accessible place from the center of Kyoto! The host is kind and the room is so clean.

Easy check in and clear instructions. Located close to a station, delicious food nearby. The bed was huge and the place was clean!

Excellent location! Senkawa station is a few minutes walk and it is around 25 minutes walk to Ikebukuro. There are convenience stores very near to the place.. I’ll definitely be staying here again when I next visit Japan! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Kyoto. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to public transportation, restaurants, and some of Kyoto’s most beautiful temples and shrines. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, offering helpful recommendations and making sure I felt at home throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. It was a great base for exploring the city, and I’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location with plenty of amenities. The host was responsive to our contact and extremely helpful with local recommendations. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the elevator was a bonus as this doesn't seem common in Japan. They allowed us to leave our lugguge after check out while we explored Kyoto before departing the city. Overall this was a A+ experience and I would happily return.

A bit far from jr station ( 1 km ) but very near with bus station place very clean and comfy

A great place to stay in Kyoto on a nice quiet street but close to lots of nice restaurants and a short walk to the main shopping areas. The hosts were helpful and responsive, we would definitely stay here again!

clean room, near to train station and very good host

Great location and airbnb was clean and appeared as advertised. Plenty of space for 5 people. Hosts were extremely responsive and flexible.

This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

Located in a quiet neighbourhood, right in the historic centre of Kyoto. Authentic feeling apartment with all the necessary facilities.

I was traveling with three teens. Everything was perfect. Lots of room. Loved the bathtub. Near a train station. The place is an authentic home. This is easy to reach for traveling and exploring but this is not into the middle of everything. It’s a bit away from central Kyoto. Bus is about 20minutes. We loved it
