Monthly Rentals in Kyotanabe

This was quite possibly the best experience I’ve ever had. The home was beautiful. Nestled in a small quiet tea village south of Kyoto, it was the perfect stop gap between Tokyo and Osaka. Our host Maki was amazing from start to finish. We booked a year in advance and there was great communication throughout the entire process. She helped us out so much while we were there, she was extremely accommodating. I want to go on forever but honestly there isn’t much I can say to describe the time my friends and I shared. Unforgettable is the best I can do. We are already planning our return trip to Japan and have decided that staying here again is something that must happen. Do yourself a favor and book.

We stayed at Toshie’s designer house for 4 nights. The architecturally fantastic home is in a quiet neighbourhood a short busride from Gakuenmae station, with quick train access to Nara, Kyoto and Osaka. Toshie picked us up from the station, which was appreciated as it might have been tricky to find the house ourselves. She gave us instructions for local transport and amenities within walking distance. Toshie is an exceptional host who is genuinely interested in her guests making sure they have an enjoyable stay. During our visit we needed medical attention and Toshie was extremely helpful with taking us to the hospital and pharmacy. We felt very safe having her as a translator. One night we were able to join Toshie and her husband for dinner and also met their daughter who has a ceramics studio in the house. Thank you Toshie for your hospitality, kindness and generosity. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I highly recommend this house for a unique base to explore the Nara area.

It was a very clean and easy place to stay. I'd love to stay there again next time.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the apartment is great for one person - it had everything I needed and is very clean. It is located in a peaceful neighbourhood, but still walking distance from train stations for Kyoto and Osaka and also close to some restaurants and convenience stores. Masako san was great with communication and always ready to help. I'd stay here again, and I recommend!
