Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Higashiyama Ward

Great spot for a long stay! Had a great time staying at Green Gables for a month.

The area is in a quiet neighbourhood. It may take a bit of time to go to Central areas like Gion. However, this is exactly what I would like to come back to after a long day outside - peace. The neighbourhood also has a lot of things to do a see, all walkable distance. Plenty of options for convenient stores and restaurants too.

I had an absolutely wonderful time. I spend a couple of weeks in the apartment and it really did feel like a home, not just a resting place on Holliday. whenever I had questions, I got a response almost always right away. communication, in person or through the app, was always super friendly and helpful. when i wasn't sure which metro to take, I got a very detailed description of where to go. including a time table. which is just one of the many ways that I was helped during my stay. the song recommendations and cute cat videos made the stay more fun. I loved watching them while I was in the bus. the place was peaceful, which was important for me. there is a bus right in front of the building and 2 other lines within 10min walking. no matter where in Kyoto I had to go, there was always easy transport closeby. all in all I had a wonderful time. not just because of Kyoto, but also because of the apartment and host. I will definitely go back there if/when I have the chance.

This was a comfortable and functionable place to stay. It's quite a way out of the cente of Kyoto but public transport is exellent with a bus stop right outside the building. The host met me at the property and was very helpful, giving me lots of information.

Very helpfull and nice host

Ken made my stay in Kyoto amazing! He was very flexible with check-in/check-out and left a handy guide with recommendations around the area. The view is great and the bed was comfy. Hard to find a queen sized bed in Japan, even in hotels, especially as a solo traveler. The location is perfect for tourists and each destination is walkable. I definitely recommend staying here. I’ll be coming back my next trip!

A month's stay here is very comfortable. As the room is a small apartment, you get a feel for how a local might live. Everything was clean, and I never had trouble with noise from neighbors or traffic. The location is excellent. There are numerous grocery stores nearby and a variety of restaurants. One can reach Kyoto's sights and busier areas conveniently through public transportation. Masami-san is a great and knowledgeable host. I never felt unable to reach him or unsure about how things worked. Checking in and out was straightforward. Really, I couldn't have asked for more.

I had an absolutely amazing stay here. It’s a little out of the way from the main touristy areas in Kyoto, but it was actually quite amazing to be in the north part. Lots of restaurants nearby, and you’ll be close to the mountain areas to explore all the amazing views and temples here. And aside from the location and cozy stay, the hosts were so amazing and welcoming. Always ready to help and support their guests - can’t thank them enough for a great experience in Kyoto!

A perfect spot for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We made a small mistake and forgot to return the key when checking out, so we ended up leaving it at Kyoto Station. Bella was very understanding and went out of her way to pick it up, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a wonderful stay in a serene location—highly recommend it if you're seeking calm and relaxation!

This Japanese-style home offered a wonderfully authentic Kyoto experience. It's set in a quiet, green area, surrounded by nature, yet still conveniently close to stores, the train, and restaurants. The house itself is spacious and fully equipped with everything you need. I really enjoyed morning runs in the peaceful neighborhood and coffee in the garden. Highly recommend for a relaxed, local feel!

Incredible place to stay. We’re absolutely in love!!! Even more stunning than the photos. 苗苗 was very patient and explained everything throughly and responded quickly to our messages. Made us feel right at home! Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area!

It’s a great place to stay when coming to visit, especially if you have a big group since there’s lots of room.

Haruka's apartment is situated very near Saiin-Station (5min walk) and its restaurants in a quite street. There is a supermarket 4min walk in the other direction. It is big with 2 bedrooms, a great bathroom, a washing-machine and everything you can need to cook in the tiny kitchen as well as spices, oil, tea, coffee... There are also brochures about Kyoto's attractions and a very interesting book about Japan's history. The best part of our stay at Haruka's House was to meet the owners (they live upstairs), who welcomed us as we arrived with many informations, japanese tea, fruits an sweats. As we left, the had looked for the train-connexions to our next destination and gave us nice advices as well as crackers for the trip. It was so nice, we felt at home from the first minute and we enjoyed so much their company. We even had the chance to borrow their bicycles to tour around Kyoto. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We definitely hope to come back!!!

great place for 8-10 people! close to station and bus stop, also lots to see around the place! fully furnished and everything works great

Staying here was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Kyoto. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beauty and serenity of the space. The design perfectly balanced traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern luxury, every detail felt intentional and immersive, from the warm woodwork to the soft lighting and beautifully curated décor. The amenities exceeded my expectations. Everything I needed was thoughtfully provided, from high-quality toiletries and comfortable linens to a well-equipped kitchenette and relaxing communal spaces. The attention to detail made it feel less like a rental and more like a welcoming retreat. What made the experience truly exceptional, though, was the staff. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely hospitable,always ready to help with local recommendations, directions, or even just a warm smile. Their care added a personal touch that made me feel deeply cared for throughout my stay. I loved every minute I spent here! <3. : )

Really enjoyed our stay in this cosy charming home which has a traditional feel just what we wanted to experience in Kyoto. The host was extremely thoughtful in providing above and beyond the basics such as milk, snacks, lovely coffee tea etc. We felt so comfortable right at home. We especially enjoyed the little courtyard garden with beautiful blossoms. Thank you so much! 😊
