Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Nakagyo Ward

Very beautiful home. Extremely comfortable. Very close to train station, made transportation very easy. It was very quiet surroundings.

The hosts were super welcoming, accommodating and responsive to all of our needs and concerns. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay and the location was very convenient especially for our first time.

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.

My husband, son, and I had a great stay at Sakura's. It was a super close distance to Kyoto station and lots of restaurants, but very quiet at night for sleeping. The house makes very efficient use of space and is well equipped.

This is a really cute and quiet area. Much needed for all the hectic travel days. Saki helped accommodate us and was very responsive when trying to figure out addresses when forwarding the luggage from our previous location. This is a must checkout spot!

Thanks for a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved this house. It was perfect for our family of 6, very comfortable, spacious and well stocked with everything we could need. The futon beds were extremely comfortable and lots of wardrobe space. The location was very near to a bus stop with a fantastic Nepalese restaurant nearby. A short bus ride to the station and only 20 minutes into the centre. Jasmin was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions. We would highly recommend this property.

Staying at Chikashi’s Airbnb was great. The house is very comfy and it is located in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Besides, you have the train station very close. Chikashi is very kind and helpful. Thank you sou much!

The place is excellent. It's in a lovely neighborhood with lots of places to go, good restaurants, and shops around. The look and feel made the trip feel special. I highly recommend it.

Very aesthetically pleasing place that comes with a very useful pocket wifi. Not the cleanest toilet and most convenient place as it is about 10 mins walk from the nearest station but overall the stay was comfortable and restful

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).

Good place to stay. Very convenient.

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!

We enjoyed staying at your place for our first visit to Japan. We were able to walk to the bus stop, train station, and konbini's with ease. Your home was clean! Thank you, Tanaka!

I'm a repeat guest! That should say a lot. Place is conveniently located, has everything a single person needs for an extended stay. my favourite local activity was taking walks along the river and watching the trains.

It was so much fun staying here, easily accommodated 6 people, not a ton of privacy but we decided it would be like a sleepover with a touch of Japanese culture. The place has a good amount of space, kitchen is very nice, big fridge, and good sized shower room and separate bathroom (restaurant style bathroom, two stall toilets and two wall urinals, but it served its purpose well, it was kinda fun). Lots of places to shop and eat at nearby make sure to explore on foot. A few train stations within easy walking distance too. Don’t forget to schedule a matcha tea session with the host in the tea room!

A lovely authentic Japanese home. Well designed with all of the essentials. A nice quiet neighborhood close to amenities and the city center.

This time, I went to Kansai with my friends, stayed at Xiaodai's house for three nights, it was really great, the elegant Japanese tatami villa, the interior is also beautiful, the living inside is very comfortable, the villa is located in the rich part of Kyoto, the environment is very good, although it is not in the center of the city, the amenities are very good, the subway and convenience stores are within a very short walk.And then, Sister Dai is really super nice!Very enthusiastic. He answered all kinds of questions on WeChat before checking in. He drove to Kyoto to pick us up at Yamashina Station on the day of arriving, and then gave us a detailed introduction of how to play in Kyoto. How to take a car, let us contact her on WeChat at any time when we encounter problems. The last night also took out a treasure of wine. It made me feel like a host, but a good friend who has been hosting me in Japan for many years.

It was a nice, almost four storey apartment. The place is 20 mins away from the station. But it was a nice walk from the station if the weather is good. The view from the place is great. You can see the lake and the mountain. We love the nature the most.

The building, garden, facilities, etc., all showed the owner's elegant and lovely personality, and it was a very beautiful place to stay. The explanation and support were very polite and helpful. The BBQ and fire in the garden, which was like a painting with the scent of Japanese cedar, were exceptional and fun. The breakfast provided was also very delicious, and everyone had a very satisfying trip from start to finish. I'd love to visit again if I get the chance.

this is a most amazing place we have ever stayed with air bnb, kitchen is equipped with all necessary cooking stuff and even various seasoning, bedrooms are superb.... Children have plenty of space inside the building and backyard for running, the space is more than enough for our 12 people group. ......... Perfect.......

Spacious, elegantly furnished and very peaceful. We loved the house and its location - right next to the Tōdai-ji temple and the Deer Park. We had a bit of an issue entering the house as the code given to us was incorrect … but was just a little hiccup in our overall stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend this house to anyone coming to Nara. We stayed 3 days and we could have definitely stayed longer!

All of the information listed is correct They also responded quickly and kindly to inquiries. Cross the road and you'll find Lake Biwa!It's the best location There are plenty of rooms and beds, so I think it's best for about 3 families There is only one bath, so if you have a large family, I think it would be a good idea to plan a nearby hot spring from the start There are quite a few amenities, seasonings, etc. If you check in advance, they will be kind and accommodating. I had a really pleasant time
