Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Lake Biwa

As always with Starrystarry you get what you see, and it’s well thought through and you’ll have what you need. But what stands out the most is Starrystarry’s communication. Very fast, friendly, and helpful.

This is a lovely traditional home in a small, quiet town, attractive to stroll around and admire. The house is spacious, comfortable, and well-stocked for a night or two with friends and/or family. It suited our group of five adults and two 12-year-olds extremely well. The fact that it has so many bedrooms is a significant advantage for groups that don't all want to share the same sleeping space, as is often the case at Japanese Airbnbs. The friendly hosts were waiting for us at check-in and gave us an extremely detailed tour and explanation of the property. There are not many services within walking distance, so we were glad we rented a car. We cooked dinner and breakfast, and found many useful condiments and spices in the kitchen. Really, the only disadvantage of this home is that it is rather expensive, but the experience of staying there is unique, making it worth the cost. Airbnb prices in general seem to be rising, so it is not dissimilar to others like it.

I enjoyed my stay in Yoyo’s house. It’s clean & tidy. Everything is well-explained, so that I can reached & get access to the house easily.

amazing place felt right at home in a lovely tradicional japanese house that I would bring home if I could. the hosts are really careful an attentive, the lake and surroundings are just beautiful

We had a great stay at this house. Perfect for a family of 5 with small children and a nanny.

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.

The place was fantastic, clearly a lot of care & consideration has gone into it. The location is great, just a few mins walk from central Kyoto. Check in was seamless, communication was great, nothing too much bother. Highly recommend

It was a spacious and beautiful place to stay with a good atmosphere!

Wonderful apartment. Sumi is an excellent host, very helpful, proactive, kind, and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

this place had more traditional Japanese furnishings (tatami mats, futons) which we really liked. The futon's firmness took some getting used to (which I hear is better for you), but a great opportunity to experience this for our first time. great location which was walkable to the main city streets and some attractions. felt a lot more spacious than our Tokyo AirBnb too. would definitely stay here again.

We just loved staying at Sumi's place, it was nice and cosy. Everything tidy, we'll organized and with instructions in English so it was perfect for us who don't speak Japanese. She was attentive and took care of us all the time. It's well located and it's close to almost all touristic areas. We felt like home and recommend it 100% ❤️

Sumi's place was perfect for our family of 3. It was very roomy, very clean, and in an amazing location. Sumi's instructions and recommendations were excellent. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Ken was on of the most accommodating, friendly and helpful hosts we have met. In addition to the basics amenities, we enjoyed having a deck off the back of our unit with a table and chairs. We loved having breakfast outside while watching the birds over the river. We had easy access to the walking and biking paths on both sides of the river as well as many restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the location. Even though we were traveling during Golden Week, it was quiet at night and not crowded in the vicinity. Ken helped make our first trip to Kyoto (and Japan) a joy!

Beautiful location, walkable to main attractions. All areas were very clean and maintained. Hosts were super friendly and attentive. Great overall!

Conveniently located and a comfortable place to sleep

Excellent location and very easy to get to places. Like many places in Japan, spaces are smaller, however we really loved the deep wardrobe/ cupboard. We were able to hang clothes, stack all our bags on a shelf and roll our suitcases straight in. Host was very helpful and gave us great information on current events. Would recommend.

The cleanest apartment you could think of, great position, walking distance to anything and great restaurant right next door! Will definitely try to book again if back in Kyoto.

We got engaged in Kyoto so this beautiful lil balcony will forever be etched into my memories, where we had our celebratory sake!!! The place is so nice and clean and in SUCH a good spot!!

Location was amazing and it was perfect for family of 4. Very cozy and comfortable. May was very accommodating and very helpful.

Lovely place to stay - clean, big, and very well equipped!

Nicely designed building. Room is tight but cozy. Toilet has heater which is extremely useful in winter. Need to walk a fair distance to the closest train stations.

This accommodation is perfectly located, walking distance from Kyoto station. plenty of food and drinks in the area. plenty of space in the apartment for a little family.
