The apartment was the perfect size for 4 adults. The extra toilet and sink were great. We all enjoyed the tub at least once during our staying in Kyoto. Apartment was impeccably clean and spacious. 10-15 minute walk from Kyoto Station. Neighborhood was quiet. A couple of restaurants options and a coffee shop nearby but plenty of options a short metro ride away. I would stay here again on a return trip to Kyoto.

IROHA STAY Kyoto Rei | Riverside Family Retreat

JamieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The house was very cute, clean and a great space for our family. We loved the balcony overlooking the stream; it was a beautiful space to sit and drink coffee/relax. The surrounding area was close to restaurants and shops. It was a little difficult to find at first because taxis cannot drive to the front door and you will have to walk through a small street or along the stream to locate the front door. However, once we found the front door everything went smoothly. We would highly recommended this place to a small family!

Riverside/ 2mins to Inari Shrine/ 5mins Kyoto Sta.

RushiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a great stay at this home. Our group of 6 comfortable stayed amongst the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Like most Japanese homes, the toilets and shower rooms are separate. This home had 2 toilets and 2 showers. The washing machine works great, and the drying functionality (hanging clothes in the bathroom by a drying vent) worked as well. We loved the location, walking distance from the Fushimi Inari shrine and across the street from a 7/11 and walking distance from 3 different train stations. Very easy to get around the area! Thanks for an awesome stay

ShimiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a great stay! The host was very responsive and helpful throughout, making everything easy. The apartment itself was spotless and exactly as described, and the price was excellent for the quality. The only things to note are that the bed was a bit shaky and the staircase from the 1st to the 2nd floor was quite steep, so something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it!
