Vacation rentals with breakfast in Lake Biwa

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Osaka. The unit was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable for our group of six. It provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. The location is extremely convenient—just a short walk to the subway and surrounded by a great selection of restaurants. Universal Studios Japan was also easily accessible, only about 15–20 minutes away, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Our host was outstanding—very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. They provided clear and concise directions to the property, as well as straightforward instructions for the check-in process, which made everything smooth and hassle-free. Overall, a great experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Osaka.

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.

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!

Luana's property is clean and neat. The location is convenient.

We’ve been to many Airbnb’s but this has been the best one. The welcoming was amazing with information about the beautiful architecture of the house, which was as beautiful as in movies. Also very clean and we are very happy with our stay and recommend this to anyone thinking about it. Also a perfect getaway from the big cities!

Although need to share toilet and bathroom, host are nice and offer breakfast is 😊

Comfortable room. Small for 4 but pleasant; it is well designed to stay there for a few days. Close to Universal Studio Park ☺️👍

We stayed at four airBnb‘s in Japan and all have their good points, but this was by far the best. Located in a quiet suburb so not walking distance to the main sites of Kyoto, but with some lovely sites that we would not have seen otherwise Close by. It was as simple Uber ride or train ride to get into Kyoto for main sightseeing and it was lovely to come home to a quiet un bustling local with a wide choice of excellent restaurants to choose among. The apartment itself is spacious, by far the most spacious we stayed in And it’s part of a an apartment complex which has a small gym. Nori and Fumi even served us breakfast all three days we were there in another upstairs breakfast room. To top it off, they picked this up and dropped us off at this train station three days later. All in all it was a really welcoming and comfortable place to stay, well worth the price we paid

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.

It was my first time traveling abroad with my dog for a month, and the process before departure wasn't smooth, so I was worried about whether the two of us could get along well. Those worries were in vain, and I really enjoyed the trip because Yuki and Kevin took care of a lot of things.😊 I'm so grateful that I was able to make a lot of memories that I wouldn't have had if I booked a regular vacation home or hotel! I was so grateful that you picked me up by car all the way to the airport and the station, and provided delicious meals every day. Everyone in the village was kind and friendly, so I enjoyed the Japanese countryside with my dog. I prefer a quiet and relaxing trip with nature rather than a crowded and busy sightseeing, so it was even better.☺️ I'm also looking forward to a new kids or house, so please invite me when the house is repaired.💓 Take care of your health. I hope you have a lot of fun until the day we meet again.🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ Cosmo and Hinah, stay healthy!!

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!
