Ryokan vacation rentals in Shimogyo Ward

Seiko’s place feels like a home. It’s pretty and quirky and cozy enough that every afternoon during our 5 night stay, my husband and I, along with our two teens, would head back to the apartment to put our feet up for an hour or so before heading back out. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water. The air conditioner works well and we were happy to have it for a summer visit in Kyoto. The location is great for getting around but also quiet. Things to note are that the bedrooms get bright in the morning and that the traditional beds may be uncomfortable if you like a soft bed.

Best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! Great price for the value of the stay!

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.

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.

We had a great stay in Kyoto at the Gojo Miyabi Inn! Yumi was a wonderful host, she welcomed us and gave us a run down of the home and some helpful local recommendations. Very clean place with a great traditional feel. Comfortable beds, in a quiet neighbourhood, with a 24hr grocery and 711 within a 5 minute walk. Very close to Kyoto station and subway stations, highly central! Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful, historic house in Kyoto. The location was ideal—central yet wonderfully quiet, allowing us to relax while still being close to everything. A friend of the host kindly met us in person and guided us to the house, which was a lovely and much-appreciated touch. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the instructions for check-in and using the amenities were clear and easy to follow. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this unique and peaceful place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Such a beautiful home, and such a great location! Walkable distance to Kyotos main shopping district, good restraunts nearby and always a nice start to the day to walk through the temple as we exited the home. Shi was also so helpful and responsive. Would love to come back again next time we are in Kyoto.

Mayumi was very helpful and sweet with the entire process, including answering all the questions I had! Location was perfect with convenience stores nearby, along with great restaurants and a park for the kids. The house was beautiful and just like the pictures. AC in each room was nice and great amenities too! Perfect for large family 11/10 recommend !!

Katsuya's home is absolutely gorgeous. Every detail is so well considered. He has left a biography of the artists whose work is in the house, and a brief history of the renovation as well, which I found fascinating. Nothing is overlooked. A wonderful experience.

Just as lovely and cozy as when we stayed five years ago. This Machiya exudes calm upscale elegance. Beautiful view. Spa like bath area. Spacious and airy. Convenient location and now with a second great cafe right next door!

This house is located in a fantastic location, only a 6 min walk from the nearest station. Shiho, the host, was very accommodating. She greeted us as we arrived and gave a house tour. She also asked how we were going and made sure everyone was okay, something that is rarely done for Airbnb hosts. Everything in the house was clean and organised, the beds and futons were comfortable, and overall we had a great time staying at this place.

Wonderful arcade setting with great shops & restaurants, and easy canal-side walking to Gion and Kiyomizudera. Great public transport at top end of arcade to other parts of the city. Highly recommended!

Was an amazing stay!!! Close to everything and also in a very nice and quiet area.

Great communication. Check in was easy. They even helped us ship our luggage at the end of our stay.

We stayed here for few days during our Japan trip. The house was beautiful and you can get a true guesthouse experience. Location was good, in a quiet neighborhood and not too far from public services and some good temple sights with almost zero crowds. Owner was very kind and responded quickly to any questions. Book this if you want to experience living in a traditional Japanese residence.

We had a fantastic stay at this place! We were a family of 4, and it accommodated us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The location was ideal for us—close to many things, but in a peaceful part of it. The place is tastefully decorated. Having access to a washing machine with dryer was so helpful! And most of all, our host was so kind, helpful, and friendly! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Very, very beautiful Japanese-style townhouse!It's the house in the Japanese movie!It's also very clean!The soundproofing is not great, but it's very worth it!

the house is beautiful, especially the family room is very worthwhile. the bathroom is common but this never gave problems. the breakfast was really exquisite, the staff one by one very sympathetic. ok would very much like to go back.

Such an amazing host! The space is so beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. In the common space, there is a traditional Japanese garden that is stunning. They use a lot of incense too, making it so calming. You also get a traditional Japanese breakfast in the morning! You get your own room/bed, with shared bathroom. We went in the summer and thank God, there was AC in our bedroom. There's also so many family-owned restaurants in the area. We ate at so many hidden gems. All in all, incredibly worth it.

The first time I came to Japan with friends, this accommodation experience was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, satisfying our imagination of a Japanese homestay. There were also convenience stores and public bus stops nearby. Life and transportation were very convenient. The host was also very friendly. There was also a delicious breakfast every morning. If I come to Kyoto next time, I will definitely choose this place again without hesitation.

A wonderful stay! The room was very nice and clean, and the surrounding area was quiet with few people—perfect for a relaxing stay. The host was very kind and welcoming. The courtyard was especially beautiful, with a lovely Showa-era atmosphere. There were also two bicycles available for rent, which made exploring Kyoto even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for travelers who have enough time to enjoy Kyoto at a slower pace.

Staying at this AIRBNB was an amazing experience. The host was on top of everything, and was so nice. 👍 I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an escape from the city. The surroundings were breathtaking.

Chieri was welcoming and the perfect host. Together with her mother Kauri-san and beautiful WabiSuke, they made us feel at home and gave us a little experience of living within a Japanese Community which is what we were seeking. From inviting us to a local Sushi restaurant to allowing us to share her Tea Ceremony class, Chieri has made our short stay truly memorable.
