Family-friendly vacation rentals in Yamashina Ward

great location, super quiet. could use more heating in the winter (bathroom & shower cold), but would totally stay again!

Amazing place to stay. Beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the spa bath after big days of walking. Will recommend to friends. Just loved it 🥰

Eri was so beautiful! So helpful and the way she showed us around the home and her attention to detail was phenomenal! I even asked to stay an extra day because kyoto became my favorite place in all of Japan! Coming to Japan i was a bit disappointed with Tokyo, but i am so grateful for Koji and Eris gorgeous home and their recommendations. We rented kimonos and spent the whole day visiting local shrines and temples, all within walking distance. It was such an amazing experience. I will be coming back next year and am going to spend my entire vacation in Kyoto. Hopefully I will be able to stay at Tsubara house again!

Very nice place with clean and hot tub including place! Drinks, gifts, and quick communications are great to feel welcome at place.

Stayed 3 nights at this beautiful home. great location... short walk to the metro station and centre of Kyoto. The accommodation had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Very responsive host and would definitely stay again.

Absolutely amazing stay! The place had everything you could possibly need—way more than you’d expect. Super well-equipped and thoughtfully prepared. The host was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I honestly have zero complaints. Would 100% recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Definitely coming back if I’m in the area again!

Great Machiya stay with a traditional feel, but with modern amenities such as heated floor! Also perfect location to explore Kyoto. Tokuji san was always very responsive during communications. Overall, highly recommended!

We came in April — 8 of us. This space was just perfect for our families. We especially loved the quaint neighborhood location. What a secret gem. We are all left wanting to move to Kyoto. Thank you for hosting us!

The location is fantastic — just a stone’s throw from the metro, and only 10 minutes to the city center. We really liked the area because it feels local and authentic, not touristy at all. The house is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of natural light. Niko is lovely and very thoughtful, which made our stay even better. If I had to mention something, a few things felt a bit worn, and the place wasn’t completely spotless, which we expected. But honestly, it didn’t affect our stay. I still totally recommend it and would definitely come back!

Very beautiful home. Extremely comfortable. Very close to train station, made transportation very easy. It was very quiet surroundings.

Our family of four recently stayed at Yamano Kyoto Residence for five nights during our first visit to Kyoto, and Yamano and his wife truly made our trip unforgettable. The house is exactly as described—spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities to make us feel at home. Its convenient location near the train station and bus stop made getting around effortless. The host's prompt and attentive responses to our questions were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely choose to stay here again. Thank you and thank you 🙏

Very friendly and responsive host. She made clear instructions about how you get to the place (including step by step photos which are really helpful). The rooms are spacious, we have 3 families and this house host very for us. The kitchen even have all cook wares. The location is highly recommended. Less than 10mins walk from Kyoto station!

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.

Obviously Jinn has a lovely home, but he is also an extremely gracious host. He was available to answer any and all questions and made us feel right at home in his space. The location is a serene and peaceful neighborhood which allowed us to enjoy parts of Kyoto we otherwise would have missed, while still being close to main attractions. I would recommend anyone to stay here, amazing experience.

spectacular place that ended up feeling like home at the the end of the stay. nice calming place for after all day exploring. authentic area where there weren't a lot of tourists. if you take a day off from exploring, there are close by (15 min) bus ride to great restaurants. about 15-18 mins from the 2 close by train stations. Just warning there is a walking bypass over the main road that helps you get your stairs steps in lol.

A beautiful home in a nice area of Kyoto conveniently located in close walking distance to bus stops and supermarkets. It was lovely to meet Toshiko who met us for checkin to show us around (& has spent time in our home city of Adelaide, South Australia). The house is well appointed and spacious with separate living areas and a great shower! Highly recommended. Thanks Toshiko!

Resi Stay Yasaka An is and excellent two bedroom place. It is small but very efficient and very very quiet, especially considering the closeness to so many highly trafficked tourist areas. The place is romantic and exquisitely designed. Perfect to have 2 bedrooms for ourselves, and our 14 year old granddaughter. The bathroom facilities were beautiful, washing machine à plus, too,

May's place is conveniently located near Nishiti Market and public transportation. She was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to assist when I got lost. May personally messaged me directions, met me outside, and warmly welcomed me at the front door. An excellent host—I highly recommend staying at her place.

Staying at Asami and Daniel's place was honestly the highlight of my whole trip. After being collected and escorted from the train station to the apartment, I was given bits of history about the neighbourhood and recommendations for food by Daniel. Upon arrival Asami greeted me and showed me how to use some of the more confusing amenities which was really helpful. I took them up on some of their suggested sightseeing and definitely wasn't disappointed, a stunning trek up Mt Kurama was my first pick. During my entire stay both were extremely kind and conscientious and shared so much knowledge with me, giving me a small peek into the lives of the locals. When leaving the city to head to Osaka, I was very kindly escorted back to the train station and send a message when I got home safely. Kyoto will definitely be the city I come back to on my next visit to Japan and staying with Asmai and Daniel again would be a treat!

I recently stayed at Saito’s place and had a wonderful experience! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The place was thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to one of the attraction, restaurants, and subway station, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again, Saito, for being such a great host. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Easy check in and clear instructions. Located close to a station, delicious food nearby. The bed was huge and the place was clean!

Very satisfied with this homestay experience, Harry's house is so excellent, two floors above and below, the rest and leisure space is separated, equipped with projection and sound, and the lighting design in the house is also very cozy.The house itself is a very traditional Japanese house with a refined little yard, at the same time it is conveniently equipped with a very modern home appliance system. Harry is very nice, he came to the bus station to pick us up, and also recommended very authentic daily materials, and I will come to Kyoto again next time I come to Kyoto!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was super friendly and responsive, making check-in and communication easy. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Mitsuo has made our first time visiting Japan a very memorable one, with local recommendation, very responsive and helpful. Location alone is perfect for us, it is quiet neighbourhood and yet only less than 5 mins walk to AOEN shopping centre where you can find almost everything that you needed, as well as great variety food at food court. We will definitely stay again next time visiting Kyoto. Thank you for being a great host. We are greatly appreciate all your help during our stay.
