Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kyoto

I have no words to describe how good our experience was at this apartment. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was spacious and clean. I felt like it fully encompassed the Japanese living experience. Mikiko was kind and friendly, always answering our questions and giving us recommendations for things that we wanted to do. Thank you so much! We will be back :).

Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

Super cool house with tatami flooring but beds are extremely comfortable. You feel like you are living in history. It has all the modern comforts. AC heating etc. close to Kyoto station. Lots of taxis around. Host is super kid too. Have great recommendations on restaurants Would stay again.

We’ve been at a lot of air bnb’s around the world, separately, together, with and without kids. This was our favorite of all time. Mostly due to Christian’s personality and knowledge, but in addition the house and location were exactly what we wanted: a traditional house in a quiet area. Christian is beyond accommodating and helpful, he is simply the best and we are so thankful to him and his family for everything they did to make our trip special and memorable. His local restaurant and activities recommendations were amazing. Highly recommend 11/10 A+++++ a million stars would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Bishamon house!!

One the best Airbnb spaces I’ve stayed in Japan. The host was extremely friendly and sweet and would respond very quickly. Overall loved the place :)

From Kyoto Station Shinkansen Nishiguchi Exit, it is located from Kyoto Station, and the department store is very close.It is very easy to find this B&B, it is quiet and full of amenities, I especially like ice water, and my friends love coffee.Everyone rested well.

Kazuma’s house was really spacious and beautifully traditional. The location is very close to a train station and neighbourhood has a lot of great places, that Kazuma recommended. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would come back! :)

The hosts were amazing and helped us to make reservations. (you need dinner reservations if you want to eat!) Communication was clear and instant. The space is beautiful, better than the photos. The beds were comfortable. The washing machine was a huge plus. The garden in-between the spaces is beautiful. The location is near public transportation, And enough off the beaten path the we didn't feel like we were trapped in a tourist zone. We rented bikes from a place down the street which was super fun. And there is delicious pizza 2 doors down- we thought no way are we eating Pizza in Japan and yet at one point we didn't want to go anywhere and it was right there. Delicious! I highly recommend staying at a day in Khaki. It was fantastic!

This is a wonderful, walkable location to everything Kyoto. If it is not walkable, then the station or bus stop surely is to get to where you need to go. We found it to be amazing, convenient, comfortable, quiet to sleep, and in a great location. Would definitely recommend! Also host is very responsive and provides great amenities, such as a washer and fridge.

Everything was perfect!! Clean, confortable , room was big, kind people!! 10/10

This was the perfect spot for our short stay in Kyoto. Central enough, but on a quiet street. The room had all that we needed, and we appreciated the free use of the washing machine.

The place is in a lovely residential area where you really get to feel the vibe of the city. We arrived quite early just to drop off our baggage before heading out, and we happened to come in while two women were still cleaning. They were incredibly kind and made an effort to communicate with us, even though they didn’t speak English — we truly appreciated that. The instructions were very clear, everything we needed was provided, and the space itself was clean, peaceful, and cozy. We immediately felt at home. Thank you so much for letting us check in early! Bonus tip for future guests: there’s a LUUP bike station right outside the gate — a perfect cherry on top if you’re planning to explore the area by bike.

Perfect place and location!

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

A very efficient studio apartment of small dimensions common in Japan, while rare for most folks visiting from the West. Staying in a well maintained space of this kind makes a visitor's experience more "authentic." By being on a small street one can observe the rhythms of daily life than in most tourist areas.

I don't think you can find a place in this location at this price! It was within a 5-minute walk from the Keihan Line station, and the neighborhood was a residential area, so it was quiet and nice. The accommodation was tidy, and most of all, the bathroom was clean, so it was good for bathing and resting! The host was also so kind

Accommodation in a good location, clean and easy to access. Great for a stay in Kyoto. Very helpful host, thank you!

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

The host is the most amazing and kind hosts I have been across in my 9 years of being with Airbnb. He picked us up from the station since we had large bags and a baby stroller. We had a good time at his cafe where he hosted breakfast for, he also had fruits ready for us when we arrived. The location is also simply perfect in terms of connectivity to public transport, restaurants and supermarkets. We hope we can stay here whenever we visit Japan again.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

Beautiful city, the air bnb is in a perfect area loved the surrounding and where it was located. Place was clean and modern.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

The location is great. The house is clean and the common area is very nice.

Great location and place. Very accommodating and responsive. Thank you.
