Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Lake Biwa

We loved staying here during our 8 night in Tokyo. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Hosts were easy to speak to and provided us with great information for checking in/out. We had no issues at all and would recommend this accommodation.

We were lucky enough to stay 4 weeks in Yoko's amazing house. Yoko is more of a friend than a host --> hospitable, friendly, responded within 10 mins and even invited us to dinner. The house is absolutely amazing, well equipped, full of Japanese culture elements and comfortable. The house was spotless, very clean and has obviously been given a tremendous amount of love and care. The location is 10mins walk from the subway and only 20 min walk from the fantastic area of Osaka/Umeda stations. Any issue was resolved immediately and we had an amazing stay here. AC's in every room, Japanese bidet, kotatsu which was great for winter, a nice backyard with washing machine, strong pressure shower, and very fast WiFi which made remote working easy. We will be honored to come back and stay longer, thank you for such a good stay :)

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.

We loved our stay here! YoYo was a very responsive and kind host, and the care and attention to detail in the Airbnb as well as information about surrounding areas made our stay so comfortable. The town is quiet and easy to walk around— the only thing we had trouble with was finding a restaurant that could take us without reservation. The bikes available for us to use were a great touch and we took them to get coffee in the morning before checking out. We really enjoyed our stay in Omihachiman and plan to be back!

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.

一戶建的旅居空間很大而且温馨舒適。入住當天我們很晚才到達（晚上10時多才到）但沒想到旅居主人還在等待我們，而且為我們搬行李及打傘，介紹屋內設施。旅居內一應俱全，還有小孩玩具及圖書，還提供很多旅居附近的購物及飲食資訊，寢室很舒適並備有充電插頭，樓梯還裝有小夜燈方便夜間下樓，而且有防滑地毯，洗手間內有毛巾抹手。亦有車位方便自駕人士。意想不到的是竟然有歡迎入住的信，真的非常貼心。性價比非常高，非常適合一家大小，有機會會再次入住，亦會給推介打算造訪大阪的親友。離開時旅居主人夫婦還親自相送！

Exceptional space - clean, comfortable and modern. Within easy walking distance to Kyoto Station, and a good home base for exploring the city. Would absolutely stay again.

広々としており、いい雰囲気の綺麗な宿でした！

Lo que mas nos gustó fue que se sintió como estar en casa. Amplio, con buena luz natural. cercano a la estacion shin-osaka El ruido del metro no fue incoveniente porque saliamos temprano y llegábamos tarde y muy cansados. Excelentes camas.

The location is in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the Keihan line, which runs up and down the city and will take you all the way to Osaka if needed. If you like walking, you can get to Kawaramachi and Kyoto Station and beyond. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-furnished, equipped with everything I needed and more. The coffee table and entryway were stocked with a number of travel pamphlets. The building itself is charming in a very '80s way, but the elevator is smooth and quiet. Last but certainly not least, Sumi is a true superhost, bringing much-needed Kyoto hospitality to Airbnb accommodations. She was ready to help with anything related to my trip, even things I hadn't though of yet.

We had an amazing stay! This was the perfect place for our group of 8 — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out. There were plenty of rooms and beds, and the common areas were great for hanging out together without ever feeling cramped. The location is super convenient too — just a 1-minute walk to the train station, close to a convenience store, and situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend this place for any large group looking for a comfortable and well-located stay!

Sumi a été une hôte formidable. Elle nous a donné des instructions claires pour se rendre, nous attendait dehors à notre arrivée et était disponible si nous avions des questions. Le logement est spacieux, bien équipé et correspond aux photos. À quelques minutes de marche de plusieurs temples et de restaurants. Je recommande ce logement dans hésiter!

Ken was an absolutely fantastic host — from the moment we booked, he provided super detailed instructions and was incredibly responsive to any questions we had, both before and during our stay. His communication made everything so easy and stress-free. The apartment itself is in an unbeatable location, right in the middle of a lively tourist area with tons of great food, drinks, and convenient transportation options just steps away. It was the perfect home base for exploring Kyoto. Staying at Ken’s place gave us a real feel for modern Japanese apartment living — a unique and authentic experience that we really appreciated. If you’re looking to experience what it’s like to live like a local in Japan, this is a great choice. That said, if you’re looking for a 5-star hotel or a traditional ryokan, this may not be the right fit — but for us, it was exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend staying here — and huge thanks to Ken for being such a thoughtful and helpful host!

I stayed at Hoshino’s for a night and was warmly welcomed by him. He showed me everything clearly and efficiently and made sure I felt right at home. Lovely location as well for some nice walks!

ばぁばの傘寿、甥っ子の卒業祝い旅行で母、４姉妹、5孫、1友達の計11名で宿泊させて頂きました。 ワンフロアで大人数が気兼ねなく過ごせる場所はなかなかない中、最高の環境で2日間を快適に 滞在することができました。質問など迅速に対応して頂き感謝です。 来阪時の定宿に是非したいです。本当にありがとうございました。

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.

Je remercie énormément KA House ! Nous sommes arrivés très en avance de notre voyage de Osaka et ils ont préparé la chambre en avance. Il y a tous ce qu'il faut en terme de couverts, produit douche et tout ce qui concerne la cuisine. La gentillesse de ceux qui gère l'établissement se ressent énormément par message. Ils sont là en cas de besoins et répondent assez rapidement. Je vous conseille vivement d'y prendre quelques, c'est confortable et typique. Merci encore KA House pour ce moment inoubliable !

May was really kind and gave a lot of recommendations that she had typed out and left in the room for us! The location is great, less than a 5 min walk to the markets and has a ton of shops/restaurants. The room was also spacious, similar size to a hotel room as well as the bathroom. Would definitely book again

This place is close to everything you want to do in Kyoto including using the trains and bus. Restaurant below was a favorite. We also found Eggs and Things which we loved for 9:00 breakfast.

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.
