Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gojo

Koji and Eri’s machiya is quite a special place! They expertly and tastefully restored an abandoned piece of history into a refined and peaceful place to stay in Kyoto. Eri personally welcomed us and showed us the house and they went out of their way to make sure our time in Kyoto was easy and enjoyable! The ofuro alone is worth it!

The house was lovely and we enjoyed staying surrounded by locals. Our host communicated with me as needed and we were very happy with every aspect.

Excellent logement, lieu paisible, idéal pour les séjours longue durée. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un bon séjour, on est presque comme à la maison en terme de praticité. L'hôte est également très gentille et avenante (elle m'a donné toutes les indications possiblement utiles le jour où je suis arrivé). Pour faire simple, je recommande !

Great location! Nishiki market was a 2 minute walk. Family mart was just around the corner. Everything was close and convenient. We love the free refreshments and some nice gifts when we arrived. We love it so much we’re already planning my next trip. LOL

The house offers an authentic experience of a traditional Japanese home. Spacious, has spaces for guest room, living room, kitchen, bedroom, storage, dressing and a cute little backyard. Loved the bathroom amenities and enjoyed the bathing tub. The hosts were very kind and waited for us to arrive. They welcomed us in and walked us through all the amenities and operations in the house. They also showed us bus routes to all the popular Kyoto spots laid out on a map. They even provided a bike for our grocery runs etc. Everything we ended up needing was in the house, like umbrellas, full-length mirror, extra stools, washer-dryer. The backyard is smoking-friendly. Overall, very happy that we decided to stay at this property.

Place is very spacious, very clean and good air conditioner. Very comfortable bedding. Shower is plenty big. If you are 6ft or over you’ll need to occasionally duck but tat all over Japan. It’s definitely not a problem. Way better than staying in a hotel as I could sneak downstairs as I am always up before my family and could get work done before activities. Cabs and Ubers go right by, 7-11 is baseball throw away and an excellent I Indian restaurant on the corner. If you have a kid who wants McDonald’s it’s right there too. You’ll have to take a cab or Uber unless you want to walk 20 minutes to things but as I said they are readily available and only cost $10. Highly recommend super spacious and I felt a much better option for us than a small hotel room. Also it had a good washer for clothes.

A very comfortable and quiet area, conveniently close to Kyoto Station. If you don’t have too much luggage, it’s just a 15-minute walk—or one stop by train. Great value for money, very cozy. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at this Kyoto Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was incredibly convenient—close to both train and bus stations, which made getting around Kyoto really easy. Our host was responsive and thoughtful, with clear instructions and helpful local tips. The quiet neighbourhood made it a perfect place to unwind after a busy day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto—we’d love to stay here again next time!

Sauber und gut erreichbar

房東和房子簡直太棒了！房東太太非常好，入住前後都非常細心耐心的溝通和指引亦非常關心我們！入住當天也來到車站接我們到住所，一路給我們介紹周邊環境和配置。雖然住所可能離熱門景點有點距離，但是房子很棒！相信大家進家門的一刻都覺得無比值得！兩天完全不夠體驗這個家的好以及大阪的風情，希望以後機會也能回到這個家！

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.

We loved our stay at Yamano’s place. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, but it was just a short walk to the river, bus stop, and train station. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind. They met us at check in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They also sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area.

This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

Das Ryokan ist wunderschön, typisch japanisch und passend für unsere Reise mit der großen Familie. Wir haben die schönen Schiebetüren, den typischen Boden, die großen Fenstertüren und ganz besonders den unglaublich wunderbaren japanischen Garten jeden Tag bewundert.

Have never stayed in an Airbnb this unique in architecture. It’s 2 beautiful houses joined by a lovely garden and a walkway. One over 100 years old, and absolutely stunning, and the other a modern one with all amenities. And top it all a wonderful host, so kind and communicative.

３度目の滞在です。寝具やタオルが清潔で気持ちよく、いつも満足度が高いです。なかなか予約が取れないお宿になってしまいましたが、また機会があれば利用したいです。

Natalie on hyvin vieraista huolehtiva, erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias. Oli mukava tavata Natalie ja välittyi tunne, että hän todella välitti siitä että viihdyimme mahdollisimman hyvin. Asunto on erittäin siisti ja esteettisesti sisustettu paikalliseen tyyliin, todella miellyttävä ja ihania yksityiskohtia sisustuksessa. 4-henkiselle perheelle tilaa oli mukavasti ja kaikille oli mukavat sängyt. Asunnosta löytyy tarpeellinen varustelu ja jopa kaksi modernia pyykinpesukonetta, muutenkin varustelu oli laadukasta. Lähin juna-asema on lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä ja asunnolta on helppo kulkea niin kävellen kuin julkisilla kulkuvälineillä. Vielä plussana rauhallisuus, alueella ei ole meteliä ja öisin oli aivan hiljaista. Viihdyimme 5 yötä ja tämä oli hyvä valinta, oli helppoa tehdä päiväretkiä Hiroshimaan ja Naraan ja eri puolille Kiotoa ja palata mukavaan asuntoon illaksi. Kiitos Natalie ja voimme todella suositella tätä kohdetta.

Shogo was an amazing host!! His home was clean and he had so many great directions in english for me and the other guests. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto! I know we will be back :)

Such an amazing place and an amazing host! The house is very clean and near the train station. It also has a lot of things to do that are walkable distance as well. 10/10 recommend

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful machiya so much. Perfectly located and within walkable distance of nearly everything you need. For 2 guests this home offers plenty of space, just mind your head if you're tall. The small garden is very calming. We do recommend it and will book again.

We stayed here for few days during our Japan trip. The house was beautiful and you can get a true guesthouse experience. Location was good, in a quiet neighborhood and not too far from public services and some good temple sights with almost zero crowds. Owner was very kind and responded quickly to any questions. Book this if you want to experience living in a traditional Japanese residence.

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.

Nice clean cozy little apartment about 10 min walk south/southwest of Namba. Host is very warm and has welcoming. The wifi was insanely fast and the AC worked well. Appreciated the washing machine and the drying ability in the bathroom. Perfect for one or two people to explore Osaka.

너무나 편안하고 깨끗한 숙소였습니다. 도보 5분 거리에 마트와 편의점이 있고 20분 거리에 지하철역이 있습니다. 근처에 술집이나 번화가가 없어서 조용하고 평화로운 숙소를 찾는 분들께 강력히 추천 드립니다 Akito님은 신속히 응대해주셨고 항상 깨끗한 상태의 숙소를 유지해주셨습니다. 감사합니다
