Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kyoto

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

Syun’s place was in an amazing location so close to Kyoto Station. There is a 7/11 round the corner. The accommodation was very comfortable and very clean. I would definitely stay here again on visiting Kyoto.

Our family of four (two adults and 11-year old and 14-year old) stayed at Koji and Eri's wonderful house for two nights in Kyoto. It was exactly what we were looking for: old school charm, space to relax, and convenient (yet quiet) location. The bath and small outdoor garden were a delight for relaxing after long days of sightseeing. The house is also nearby one of the main sightseeing train lines for easy access to Fushimi Inari and other sights. There was enough space for us to spread out with several separate rooms. Eri met us at the house and showed us genuine omotenashi. She made recommendations for some nearby must-see temples and made a reservation for a nearby restaurant for that evening. I highly recommend staying here for any couple or family visiting Kyoto seeing a charming stay in Kyoto.

We had a great stay in Kyoto. The apartment was exactly as described, and even more spacious than we anticipated. The location was excellent, with easy access to public transit and walkable to many attractions. Check-in was easy and the host was always responsive. This was a perfect place for five days in Kyoto!

Thank you so much for the lovely stay. The host is so thoughtful. There was even a sewing kit in the table. I was easily able to fix it when my son ripped a hole in his pants. I feel like the host has thought of everything that you could need for your stay. You can tell that the host is a very considerate person by all of these things. The location is very convenient. You can walk to Kyoto Station in about 5 minutes. It is very easy to get around the city from here. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom and our three children stayed upstairs. The kitchen is small, but it was more than enough to cook breakfast in the morning. There is a very convenient super market nearby that is open until 10 p.m. We stayed for 1 week and had no problems. The only inconvenience was that things are a little short, so we had to be careful not to bump our heads. My son hit his head a few times. We were very happy to stay here.

Beautiful place to stay. It was amazingly decorated in traditional Japanese style. Great location. Lots of room. Very homely. A pleasure to be there.

Great location. Very clean. Steep stairs though for those with mobility challenges. Otherwise would highly recommend.

This place had a great location for bus stations leading to many attractions in the Higashiyama area. The bath tub was awesome. The rooms were more spacious than most of the other places we’ve stayed at in Japan. It felt like a traditional Japanese home without sacrificing on modern amenities. The washer/dryer was a huge plus to have. Can’t recommend enough!

Shared bicycles can be rented next door for easy travel

Very homey, great communication, close to the river, restaurants, and transportation. Mio posted easy-to-follow instructions for the washer, hot water, etc. Would love to return! One thing to be aware of; it turns out the alley that the home is on is ACROSS the street from the 7-11, not on the same side of the street.

This was out favorite stay while we were in Japan. The hosts are amazing and super responsive and the house has everything you could possibly need. The separate washer and dryer was awesome and worked perfectly for our family. We ended up cooking breakfast in, as the kitchen is well equipped with everything you needed including coffee and sugar! It was nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of central Kyoto but walkable to the river, Monkey Park, temples, shops, and restaurants. If this spot is available, don't hesitate and book it!

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.

The atmosphere of the surroundings and the dormitory was very good.Also, there were plenty of facilities, including a BBQ grill, and we enjoyed ourselves until the time we left.In addition, the bath and toilet were solidly new and clean, despite the retro atmosphere of the accommodation.I would definitely use it again in the future.

This is a very comfortable, clean, and family friendly place to stay! Our long stay experience there was top notch! The three bedrooms easily accommodated my family of 6 adults! The beds were very comfortable! The washer and dryer is also a big plus! We also loved that it was so close to the train station, a large mall, and several grocery stores. We loved the hosts. The Nakayama family were very kind, helpful, and always quick to respond to any request! We will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful traditional Japanese house, very close by walking to the train station, where you can get to the best places in Kyoto. It has the essentials towels, body soap, shampoo and conditioner. and Mr Akio a very friendly host.

The co-host girl is very polite and welcoming, and the house courtyard is beautiful.There are supermarkets and vending machines at the door, and there are many restaurants on the street in front. Although it is not within a few streets, it is quiet and not crowded.

I recently stayed at this charming homestay and had a truly wonderful experience. When I arrived, the hosts were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The property exuded cleanliness, coziness, and a delightful local atmosphere, evoking a sense of home away from home. Location: Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, close to major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. Cleanliness: Rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with fresh linens and essential amenities provided. Value: Reasonable price for the quality of service and accommodation. Overall, I would recommend this homestay for travelers seeking an authentic and affordable place to stay. This homestay is ideal for individuals, couples, or families seeking a more intimate experience compared to hotels.

Kiyomi’s Airbnb in Kyoto was fantastic! The location is unbeatable—just a few minutes walk to Kyoto station! It was neat and tidy and had everything we needed (except conditioner which my hair absolutely needs. But it’s ok I just bought a small one). 7-11 is a 1 minute walk and it sells everything you could need. The rooms upstairs were super cool with tatami and Japanese decor. The only concern I would have is the very steep stairs. They were fine for us but wouldn’t be safe for elderly or kids. But I’m pretty sure she wrote that in her description. All in all, I would highly recommend this Airbnb!!

A very pleasant and cozy appartment, and a really thoughtful and friendly hostess that takes care of everything. We felt right at home here, and can only recommend it.

We are a group of 7 people traveling to Kyoto for the first time. This listing contains 5 different houses and the one we stayed at is the Hana house. Note the Hana house has 1 shower/tub room, and 1 toilet room but we made it work! The house has a spacious living room and was a great space for us to gather after a full day of sightseeing. There is a Lawson and Family mart that is a few minutes walk from the house. You can get to many temples and shrines by feet including the Kyomizu-dera and the shopping street, all within 20 - 30 minutes. The host was very nice and gave us great tips and information on local recommendations.

We had a great stay at this home. Our group of 6 comfortable stayed amongst the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Like most Japanese homes, the toilets and shower rooms are separate. This home had 2 toilets and 2 showers. The washing machine works great, and the drying functionality (hanging clothes in the bathroom by a drying vent) worked as well. We loved the location, walking distance from the Fushimi Inari shrine and across the street from a 7/11 and walking distance from 3 different train stations. Very easy to get around the area! Thanks for an awesome stay

I had a lovely stay at Luana's place. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I really appreciated the instruction booklet to help operate the TV and washing machine. Just be aware there are 2 very steep flights of stairs to go up which can be quite challenging with bigger bags. I would recommend utilising their service for assistance here if possible. Very convenient location in a nice neighbourhood. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay.

This place was absolutely amazing. Super spacious, comfortable, and just a short walk from the train station. The views were phenomenal, and taking the bike around the community was a highlight. Just be ready for a few hills (you’ll feel in shape after!). The beach is right in front of the property, and the night views are unreal. There are some awesome local food spots and cozy cafes nearby. The host and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their home is beautiful. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip here. I’d absolutely recommend staying if you get the chance.

There is a bus stop right in front of the door, it is easy to get around, and there is a distance from Shiwu Station bus to Kyoto Station.The house is quaint and has Japanese characteristics, but there are no curtains in the upstairs room, and there will be a little bit of light in the morning.
