Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Minami Ward

A large accomadation minutes walk from the station and main attractions of Osaka. We were able to drop our bags off early which was a great help! big kitchen and living area, with bedrooms on 3 seperate floors.

Excellent apartment with wonderful jacuzzi and floor heating. Private area and a the rail line that we'll connected to Kyoto (few stations to limited express station, no need to change lines).

It was our second stay at Akiras apartment and it won’t be our last. We really like it there, the size is great for two people and it has everything you need in a walkable distance.

The place is lovely and you get to meet a not-so-crowded area of Kyoto. There are public parks, temples, shrines, and restaurants nearby. The closes train/metro is 1,7km away so if you are a fast walker or you just rent a luup or kotobike that’s the quickest way to get downtown. Else you have lots of bus stops nearby, they just take a bit longer. Best for long stays, not so much for people in a rush.

Great place, and location

This is a studio with a very cozy loft.It is full of amenities and is well equipped for self-catering.The ceiling in the loft is a little low, but it was spacious and I had a relaxing rest. Two subway stations are available, and there are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby.This is a lovely place to stay with hosts everywhere.

Great place to stay in Osaka for a bigger group. Lots of space and very comfortable. Location is perfect to shop, eat and go out.

Very nice japanese house with a lot of space.

Host was gracious and very helpful.

Beautiful house and surroundings with a very traditional Japanese feeling. The host was amazing. We had an amazing stay! The only downside was that it was quite far to most attractions, but it was worth it.

We stayed here for 4 days and walked to the bamboo Forrest every day. It was a 10 minute walk from the train station which was convenient for traveling to other sites around Kyoto. We would stay here again.

1. The B&B is a detached house with a total of three floors. It is cozy and clean, with all daily necessities. The furniture is very Japanese-style, the bedding is clean and soft and has a light fragrance. The bathroom is separated from the wet area, and the toilet is warm when you sit on it. The host (MULAN) comes to help us with daily garbage every day. 2. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the subway station, very convenient to go to Nanzen-ji Temple, Kamogawa and other famous attractions, very close to Uji and Nara.Surrounded by Family Mart, local supermarkets, post offices and restaurants. 3. The host (MULAN) is super nice, recommended us great attractions, and introduced us to the cultural stories behind the attractions.The host and her husband drove us to the attractions and even drove us to Kyoto station on the last day, which was very convenient for us. Recommended this homestay, perfect for a family and a group of 3-5 friends.

Haruka's apartment is situated very near Saiin-Station (5min walk) and its restaurants in a quite street. There is a supermarket 4min walk in the other direction. It is big with 2 bedrooms, a great bathroom, a washing-machine and everything you can need to cook in the tiny kitchen as well as spices, oil, tea, coffee... There are also brochures about Kyoto's attractions and a very interesting book about Japan's history. The best part of our stay at Haruka's House was to meet the owners (they live upstairs), who welcomed us as we arrived with many informations, japanese tea, fruits an sweats. As we left, the had looked for the train-connexions to our next destination and gave us nice advices as well as crackers for the trip. It was so nice, we felt at home from the first minute and we enjoyed so much their company. We even had the chance to borrow their bicycles to tour around Kyoto. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We definitely hope to come back!!!

Our stay at Yamashita’s beautiful 100-year-old Japanese villa in Kyoto was the perfect way to end our 2 week vacation in Japan. The house is spacious, very clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our group of 12. It has everything you need and more. It has a serene garden, jacuzzi, and sauna—the kids especially loved the jacuzzi! Yamashita is an EXCEPTIONAL host—very warm, helpful, and accommodating. She drove us to supermarkets and places we wanted to go and even picked us up for a small fee. She prepared simple yet delicious breakfasts. She was quick to respond to messages and even guided us on using local buses. Though the house is a bit far from the touristy areas, the peace and quiet of Yamashita’s home made it the perfect retreat. It offered a more authentic and relaxing experience of Japan. I highly recommend Yamashita’s villa to anyone looking for comfort, culture, and outstanding hospitality. And to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay in a traditional Japanese home.

Really enjoyed our stay in this cosy charming home which has a traditional feel just what we wanted to experience in Kyoto. The host was extremely thoughtful in providing above and beyond the basics such as milk, snacks, lovely coffee tea etc. We felt so comfortable right at home. We especially enjoyed the little courtyard garden with beautiful blossoms. Thank you so much! 😊

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Osaka! The place was spotless—super clean and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable right away. The host was absolutely lovely: very kind, responsive, and always helpful with any questions we had. One of the best parts was the location—it’s within easy walking distance to Dotonbori, so getting to all the action, food, and nightlife was a breeze. Despite being so close to everything, the apartment itself was quiet and peaceful, so we had no trouble sleeping. There’s also a 7-Eleven conveniently located right at the corner, which made grabbing snacks or essentials super easy, especially late at night. Overall, this stay made our Osaka trip even more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the city and would love to stay here again in the future!

I had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect, literally around the corner to Dotonbori.

Beautiful place! Very Japanese style to live the experience

very well located apartment. close to the Dontori neighborhood, the subway, you can go anywhere easily. quiet, secure and very clean apartment. note that the room does not have a real window. Masayuki is very responsive, very clear in his explanations. no problem finding the address.

The house is in a great location👍🏻👍🏻, the room space is big and clean, the owner is also very nice❤️, you can walk to Kin market, next time to Kyoto will choose Hisano's homestay🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'd come back to stay here if I visit again. Everything was well prepared, clean and organised.

Super good communication and very helpful. 本当にありがとうございました！

Our family of four stayed for six nights, and we had a great experience. The owner provided clear instructions on getting to the apartment from the subway, which was just a few minutes' walk away. It’s only a 3-minute walk to Kuromon Market and a 15-minute walk to Dotonbori—close to most attractions but still quiet at night. She even offered free luggage storage downstairs, which was very convenient. The apartment is a typical Japanese-style unit: small but clean and comfortable, fitting the four of us and our luggage perfectly. Overall, we were happy with our stay!
