Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sakyo Ward

Syun’s place was in an amazing location so close to Kyoto Station. There is a 7/11 round the corner. The accommodation was very comfortable and very clean. I would definitely stay here again on visiting Kyoto.

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.

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.

This was a great place to stay in Kyoto. The place accommodated four people of various ages and we were able to enjoy our stay without being overcrowded in typical Japan accommodations. The grocery store less than a block away was very helpful and the street felt safe to walk at all hours.

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!

This is the perfect spot to stay in Osaka! The home is absolutely beautiful and well worth the price. We arrived to a fully stocked fridge, towels, and a lovely home. The host is very helpful, generous, and responsive!

Great place to stay in Kyoto if you travelling to Kyoto. As this is away from crowded area like Sanjo and Shijo, hence less crowded and more peaceful. It is near to Kyoto Station and Aeon mall as well, convenient to travel from Osaka or Kansai airport and shopping peacefully at Aeon mall. Worth it!

Wow, a great little house in a quiet area. We've been so happy to stay at Mayumi's place, where everything was just fine. And a host who was sweet and communicative. Definitely a huge recommendation!

Shared bicycles can be rented next door for easy travel

Gorgeous house for a family trip ! - Clean, spacious, felt like home immediately - The location is THE best IMHO. Easy to access subway, Eizan line and mt. Hiei is nearby - 7-11 is 20 sec walk! + river To sum up - for me it’s the best place to stay in Kyoto.

We stayed at Toshie’s designer house for 4 nights. The architecturally fantastic home is in a quiet neighbourhood a short busride from Gakuenmae station, with quick train access to Nara, Kyoto and Osaka. Toshie picked us up from the station, which was appreciated as it might have been tricky to find the house ourselves. She gave us instructions for local transport and amenities within walking distance. Toshie is an exceptional host who is genuinely interested in her guests making sure they have an enjoyable stay. During our visit we needed medical attention and Toshie was extremely helpful with taking us to the hospital and pharmacy. We felt very safe having her as a translator. One night we were able to join Toshie and her husband for dinner and also met their daughter who has a ceramics studio in the house. Thank you Toshie for your hospitality, kindness and generosity. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I highly recommend this house for a unique base to explore the Nara area.

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.

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.

The atmosphere of the surroundings and the dormitory was very good.Also, there were plenty of facilities, including a BBQ grill, and we enjoyed ourselves until the time we left.In addition, the bath and toilet were solidly new and clean, despite the retro atmosphere of the accommodation.I would definitely use it again in the future.

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

The place was so beautiful and very close to many restaurants and convenience stores. We were able to stay in or go out with ease. Our host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone, and we all hope to come back in the future!

Natalie’s place in Kyoto was one of the most unique and memorable stays of our Japan trip! It’s a traditional Japanese house with amazing modern touches—great air conditioning, two washing machines, and two separate bathrooms. We loved the tatami rooms and sleeping on futons, and the little rock garden was such a peaceful touch. The space was also incredibly spacious—the biggest we stayed in during our trip. Natalie was a fantastic host, full of helpful local recommendations, and even waited with us as we rushed to catch our bullet train. The location is perfect—close to train stations, Family Mart, and a street full of great little restaurants. Our favorite experience was the public onsen right across the street—only about \$5 and such a special local experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting comfort, culture, and a truly local Kyoto stay!

Brilliant stay in a wonderfully kept traditional Japanese house. Shogo’s recommendations were exactly what we wanted also!

We stayed in Naoyuki's property for 4 days and loved the stay. The room with 4 futons was amazing and very traditional with Japanese decors. The proximity to the bus stop and tram/train station was extremely convenient in terms of transportation. The stay was as warm and cozy as Kyoto.

Lovely little appartment. 5-10 minutes away from Gion district. Everything was very clean and easy to find. Would definitly recommand.

Daniel and Asami’s informative perspective of Japan and generous hospitality were exemplary. We felt very comfortable in the light and airy space that has been so thoughtfully planned for an authentic cultural experience. We had the best sleeps. The bikes were a delightful inclusion and our time was full of wonderful surprises as we rode along the river to find botanical gardens one morning as well as check out the local neighbourhood parks and restaurants. Daniel and Asami’s recommendations were endless and brilliant. We feel very grateful to have met them.

The apartment was very nice and located very close to a train station making it very easy to get around Kyoto. Royce was an excellent host and answered very quickly. I would stay here again and recommend anyone to stay here too.

We loved this peaceful and serene location. We were looking for an escape from the other tourists and this was the perfect location for us. Amenities were top notch!

Terry was an amazing host from start to finish. She picked us up and dropped us off at the local metro station, although it's only an 8 minute walk, it was a big help with the luggage. She was always in touch, for example when a electric kettle was not working well, she immediately replaced it (there was also a normal kettle to use in the meantime!). The space was perfect for our needs, well equipped, clean, cozy, and had a sense of nostalgia that was very enjoyable. It's in a quiet neighborhood behind a historic temple, a few minutes walk to grocery stores, a delightful neighborhood izakaya, bakeries, and a place for the best breakfast and coffee ever called Hive. I will definitely stay at Terry's place the next time I make it to Kyoto... hopefully soon!
