Waterfront vacation rentals in Shiga

This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

Very easy check-in process. Premium location right next to the canal for some awesome strolls and views. Also next to a station that takes you all throughout Kyoto. Really nice bath and shower and ample space for a family of 5.

Our fave place to stay in Kyoto, beautiful location, balcony overlooking a small river full of whimsical cherry blossoms in season. This historic building was originally a house where Geisha lived - small but cosy with everything you need, including a small kitchenette (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster oven and double induction stovetop), laundry on the balcony (no dryer, hang clothes up to dry inside), separate toilet, shower n tub with plenty of hot water, toiletries n towels. We had 3 gals using it this visit. Futons in one room with table n chairs n the balcony with chairs too. A divider screen created 2 rooms. There is some street noise - be understanding and keep yours to a minimum too. Situated perfectly, close to restaurants and bars, convenience stores, bus stops, a few minutes walk to Yasaka shrine and the shopping area and Gion (the Geisha district). Hosts very friendly n accommodating. Stay here frequently and recommended to friends who loved it too. Such a great spot!

Can't beat the location if you want to visit Mt. Inari before or after the crowds. Since the grounds are open 24 hours, you can walk over anytime, day or night. And although the shops and shrine facilities are only staffed from about 9am to 6pm, you are free to walk the torii gates anytime, and it's absolutely surreal after dark. Also right next to a nice bridge over a picturesque river, and very close to a 7-11. Inside, the place is very nice, and certainly would stay there again.

Feel like home Host very nice

Such a lovely stay in Kyoto! After the hustle and bustle of Tokyo (and tiny hotel rooms), it was so nice to have a beautiful, quiet, calm space to spread out. A quick walk from the train station and the most perfect backyard is waiting for you with the nicest soaking tub. We ended up doing less than planned so we could enjoy the space more.

Excellent place to stay. Great area - close enough to walk to many major sites but tucked away in a lovely neighbourhood. Matuda was really helpful, letting us know where the local Yamato (luggage delivery) office was beforehand so we could get our luggage forwarded to Kyoto. Lovely, clean home with a relaxing bath. Would recommend and would choose again.

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

I think that Chie's guest house is the most beautiful and peaceful airbnb I've stayed at. Separate from their main house, you get the whole guest house to yourself which allows for privacy but is also right next to their house in case anything happens. both her husband and daughter were also very kind and recommended some great restaurants and places to go nearby. while it is a little out of the way from kyoto, I would recommend it if you want a calm lakeside getaway, and I would definitely recommend it during late spring and summer so that you can take advantage of the water activities. I will definitely stay here again the next time I come to Shiga.
