JR Emmachi SAT Certified Kyomachiya House-Jyouraku
Looked like the pictures. The only bad thing was that there was only one lock in the front door keeping anyone out.

Yumiko was the best host I have ever had through years of staying in different vacation rental in different countries. She and her husband welcomed us, gave us clear information about how to use the wash machine (very efficient), and helped us to learn Japanese customs. They also went out of their way to help us get an extra bicycle for my 9 year-old, in addition to the two bikes they have, one of them with a child seat. They also offered us their umbrellas when we were about to leave and it was pouring rain, although we didn’t need them. She also offered us snack for the kids and instant noodles, which came in handy when we were too tired to go out. Her house was sparkling clean, comfy, and convenient for us (two adults with two children). The location was very easy to find from subway, and their YouTube video helped too. Convenient stores and restaurants were close by, also a park w playground and railway museum. We biked for three days around the city, it was a lot of fun :-)

BEST GION LOCATION, LUXURY, QUIET VACATION RENTAL
Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

Traditional house 100y before near Kitaoji station
Best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Awesome place and Hirohito was a very friendly host. Fit 4 adults comfortably for a few nights. I would recommend to anyone.

Near Nara Heijou Station/Direct bus to Osaka Expo/Direct train to major cities/Private room/Private toilet/Private kitchen/202 rooms
Excellent accommodation, peaceful place, ideal for long-term stays. There is everything you need for a pleasant stay, it's almost like home in terms of practicality. The host is also very kind and friendly (she gave me all the possibly useful directions the day I arrived). Simply put, I recommend it!

Japanese traditional house excellent location.
Kosuke’s was a wonderful host! He was communicative, responsive, accommodating, and provided great instructions for locating the apartment and accessing it (which made it really easy to find on the little tucked away street). The apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and charming and felt like a very traditional Kyoto home, which we loved!! The location was absolutely ideal. It was so close to the Shijo metro stop (3 minute walk) and a very easy connection to Kyoto station and anywhere in Kyoto. In addition, many of the best sites are walking distance from the apartment: the Nishiki market is a 3 minute walk, Pontocho and Gion are less than 20 minutes, and the Yasaka shrine and Maruyama Park are only 25 minutes. And that’s only to name a few. There are also tons of great restaurants on the surrounding streets! It really could not be more ideally located. We loved our stay at Kosuke’s house and appreciated all of the thought and effort he puts into making his home welcoming!

Expo Cottage 2 with Free Bicycle / Free Parking
Absolutely perfect – the best host on Airbnb! Our stay was amazing! The four of us had plenty of space, the place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The host was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Seriously, this might be the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Highly recommend—you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for an unforgettable stay! �✨

Tsubaki Ann Kyoto - Renovated Traditional House
We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The property is beautifully maintained, and one of the highlights was the serene koi ponds that added a peaceful, relaxing vibe to the entire experience. The space is thoughtfully designed with great amenities — coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, butter, cookware, multiple sinks and separate bathroom areas made it super convenient for our group of 6. It was easy for several people to get ready at the same time without feeling crowded. The owner also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, even bringing us air fresheners — such a thoughtful and responsive host. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for a group or anyone looking for a calm, well-equipped place to stay. Highly recommend!

Traditional house of Japan. Near the station.
We had a great time!! The house is exceptional, even more beautiful than in the photos. Japanese immersion guaranteed. And the host was really great and very very kind. Thanks a lot for a great week-long stay!

Next to Kyoto station, you can go sightseeing, shopping, and go back to the house.Careful service, I just want you to have a sense of belonging!
Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

Cozy Kyoto Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

118 y/o traditional Japanese house in Arashiyama
Yamano was a great host. Everything was as described and he was very helpful and responsive before and during our trip. Our family of 5 adults felt very comfortable in this property. There was a bus stop nearby as well as a few different train stations within walking distance. There was a convenience store nearby to get supplies. The location was nearby Arashiyama attractions, but in a quiet neighborhood area that felt more like home. If we ever end up headed their way again we would definitely stay with Yamano. The car service that Yamano set us up with was also very nice and worked well for getting to and from Kyoto Station as well as an 8hr tour.

Ideal for sightseeing in Osaka and Kyoto 3LDK 2WC 2 parking spaces Vacation Home "JAPAKU" 3 minutes from the nearest station
The hosts Tatsuro-san was incredibly responsive and helpful, even when I needed help with a delivery! The place is as described, clean, wonderful amenities with sufficient space for my family of 5. Everything was well-explained by Tatsuro-san. It's a pity I could not stay longer as we were returning but I would definitely choose to stay again! The place is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with plenty of convenient spots to purchase what you need. It is also within short distance of a train station. The other hosts, Ichiro-san & Eiko-san were also very friendly & hospitable. Sending us off on our last day of check-out with an omiyage too! I look forward to my next trip to Osaka and staying here once again!

Traditional Terrace House. Private open-air bath.
This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

100y kyoto traditional villa with big garden「観月荘」

Private use - Authentic Renovated Machiya House
We really enjoyed our stay here! It is conveniently located near a bus station (2mins) and a subway station (15mins). The house was clean and had all the necessary amenities. Instructions were very clear and everything in the house was labeled to prevent any confusion. Something to consider if travelling with older people is the steep steps that are required to go from the sleeping area to the bathroom. The host Minnie was very friendly and quick to respond! We appreciated the recommendations and added amenities that made the stay even more comfortable. Minnie was accommodating and allowed us to store our luggage past checkout. Would love to stay here again!

Kyomachiya Amanogawa [Maison à Kyoto Amanogawa]
The host -Seiko was exceptionally friendly and responsive, making check-in seamless and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had all the amenities we could ask for—truly a perfect home away from home! Communication was seamless throughout our stay, and she was always quick to respond to any questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would gladly stay again!

KYOTO 1000years Family's villa near Nijyo castle
Brilliant stay in a wonderfully kept traditional Japanese house. Shogo’s recommendations were exactly what we wanted also!

Conveniently located Machiya
What a beautifully designed and exquisitely styled place! It was also very comfortable - of note, the bedroom is actually very large (unlike the photo would lead you to believe), the beds very comfy and there was the bonus of high-back, cushioned floor chairs to replace the floor cushions at the table which meant we could spend more time in the living room than I had envisaged. The location is superb - walking distance to Pontocho, walking or bus into Gion, and bus or metro to everywhere else. Ideal! The only downside was the traffic noise from the two large roads nearby. It was not noticeable until we went to bed but my wax earplugs totally fixed the problem. And despite this issue, I honestly would stay here again. It was such a unique experience.

GuestHouse Higashiyama Jao
location a little out of the way but the city center is within walking distance and the neighborhood is very quiet and charming. the listing was consistent with the photos . beautiful traditional house!

Ideal for Kyoto and Nara, 2 stations to Uji Station, 7 minutes by car (with pick-up)
There were no problems communicating with the host, and they listened to our requests. The building was independent, and I was able to stay without hesitation. It was nice to have games like baseball. Please be aware that for a group of 6 people, 2 people will be staying in a double bed.

5min to Kyoto sta/1min walk to World Heritage TOJI
This was by far our favorite place to stay in all of Japan! The traditional style of the home was an amazing experience. I will never get over this airbnb! Not far from the bus and had amazing views of the temple! 😇😇😇
