Ryokan vacation rentals in Tōkai Region

The host -Seiko was exceptionally friendly and responsive, making check-in seamless and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had all the amenities we could ask for—truly a perfect home away from home! Communication was seamless throughout our stay, and she was always quick to respond to any questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would gladly stay again!

This house is located in a fantastic location, only a 6 min walk from the nearest station. Shiho, the host, was very accommodating. She greeted us as we arrived and gave a house tour. She also asked how we were going and made sure everyone was okay, something that is rarely done for Airbnb hosts. Everything in the house was clean and organised, the beds and futons were comfortable, and overall we had a great time staying at this place.

Best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! Great price for the value of the stay!

Was an amazing stay!!! Close to everything and also in a very nice and quiet area.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

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.

Very unique traditional Japanese stay must experience!

Mayumi was very helpful and sweet with the entire process, including answering all the questions I had! Location was perfect with convenience stores nearby, along with great restaurants and a park for the kids. The house was beautiful and just like the pictures. AC in each room was nice and great amenities too! Perfect for large family 11/10 recommend !!

Katsuya's home is absolutely gorgeous. Every detail is so well considered. He has left a biography of the artists whose work is in the house, and a brief history of the renovation as well, which I found fascinating. Nothing is overlooked. A wonderful experience.

This was our second stay on our first trip to Japan. Let me start by saying the host was amazing, he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He met us at the train station and walked with us to the house, he had several treats in the house for us as well. He messaged us every once in a while to make sure we were still ok. The house itself is very pretty, I really like the style. It was a decent size (for Japan) and pretty comfortable. All the amenities were working great. The location was pretty good, it was about 5 minutes from a small train station. Several convenience stores nearby (5min walk). This was definitely our favorite stay in our trip to Japan. 10/10 would go again.

Wonderful arcade setting with great shops & restaurants, and easy canal-side walking to Gion and Kiyomizudera. Great public transport at top end of arcade to other parts of the city. Highly recommended!

An impeccable home in a darling neighborhood walkable to shops and restaurants yet far enough from touristy areas to feel the charm of Kyoto. We loved it and highly recommend this spot! It’s one of my all time favorite vacation homes! Karen was quick to respond and lovely. The house is on the channel which is being renovated and it’s beautiful as well as an easy guide walking home. It’s hard to get lost. The spacious rooms offered either a western or a futon sleeping option. The main bathroom was exquisite with a soaking tub and shower option. AC worked great. For two of our nights we had 3 couples and it felt like plenty of room for quiet time after walking miles.

A must-stay in Kyoto! Staying in this traditional Japanese house was an unforgettable experience—something you absolutely have to try when visiting Kyoto. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the station, making it super easy to get around the city. The house was spotless, and the host was incredibly responsive and accommodating. They helped me store my luggage before check-in and even let me stay an extra hour on checkout day, which was a huge help. Highly recommend—wonderful host and a truly special stay!

Great communication. Check in was easy. They even helped us ship our luggage at the end of our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Kyoto. The location was perfect—nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to train stations and major attractions. The house was spotlessly clean and designed in a charming, traditional Japanese style, which made our stay feel truly authentic. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, even assisting us with restaurant reservations. We absolutely loved the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto!

We had a fantastic stay at this place! We were a family of 4, and it accommodated us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The location was ideal for us—close to many things, but in a peaceful part of it. The place is tastefully decorated. Having access to a washing machine with dryer was so helpful! And most of all, our host was so kind, helpful, and friendly! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

The house is well maintained, experience an old Japanese house.If I had to suggest, it would be perfect with curtains!

The loveliest owners, the loveliest accommodation and the loveliest area. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

An excellent local guest house with a delicious traditional breakfast.

Very welcoming host and impeccable accommodation. The neighborhood is quiet with great restaurants around. Our stay was great.

Staying at this AIRBNB was an amazing experience. The host was on top of everything, and was so nice. 👍 I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an escape from the city. The surroundings were breathtaking.

Chieri was welcoming and the perfect host. Together with her mother Kauri-san and beautiful WabiSuke, they made us feel at home and gave us a little experience of living within a Japanese Community which is what we were seeking. From inviting us to a local Sushi restaurant to allowing us to share her Tea Ceremony class, Chieri has made our short stay truly memorable.

The courtyard is really beautiful!Although the soundproofing is not very good, the guests staying in the homestay are very civilized, and you can't hear any noise at night!If you haven't tried staying in a traditional Japanese house, Riyu is a great place

What a magical place. Pictures don’t do it justice. The property was beautiful and the room was a peaceful getaway in itself. With the electric bike you can ride up to the end of the road and hike up to the temple which was beautiful. Miko and her staff were fantastic. One day she gave me a ride personally for a hike and an hour later it started to rain. I was prepared to walk all the way back, but she reached out to me herself and asked if I needed a ride , which I took, but I deeply appreciate it that she took initiative and make sure I was taken care of.
