Holiday rentals with breakfast in Kamo River

这次是女儿第一次独立旅行，选择洋子的住宿是我最好的决定，孩子说住宿有日本的味道，特别是洋子阿姨太热情了，她们很感动，更期望下次到京都继续住洋子阿姨的民宿。

Yoko san is easily the best Airbnb host I’ve ever had. I stayed for a month and felt relaxed and at home there. The location is a little outside of central Kyoto this suited me really well. It was very easy to travel out to the more peaceful (less crowded) suburbs and there were so many temples nearby to explore. The room itself was perfect and it was a treat to be able to try lots of different Japanese snacks that Yoko san would leave in the kitchen. Yoko san was always happy to help and extremely proactive in offering. She drove me Kyoto station early in the morning on my last day, helped me pick out some Japanese snacks to take home and had so many wonderful recommendations for local places to visit. I can highly recommend Mani mani and I would love to stay again in the future.

I stayed at Yoko’s place for around 12 days and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Yoko’s place is situated in a quieter part of Kyoto, on its northwest side with an easy access to Arashiyama and its temples on one hand, as well as to the inner center through frequent buses, just 5 minutes away. Roughly about 25 minutes from Kyoto station by bus but feels more genuinely Japanese. My room was immaculate as were the shared kitchen and the bathroom where each guest has its own toilet but shares the shower. It was never a problem, as everybody acted mindful of others. Yoko made suggestions for local restaurants and supermarkets as well as interesting areas to walk around or visit. Always ready to help and often kindly checked if I needed anything. She gave me the opportunity to do a small workshop at her father’s book-binding place, a lovely experience! She even picked me up at the station and her father took me to my next hotel, unbelievably kind! I know where I’ll stay next time!

Lily, our host, was so sweet and kind towards the 6 of us! Her breakfast and pick-up services were great, asked about our diets, and she always made sure that we're safe and talked to us about various things. It was really nice coming home to a friendly host and a tidy house, she'd offer us a small treat once we've cleaned up after a full day of travel! I will be coming back here if I travel to Kyoto again, thank you again Lily姐!

Larry was a very positive, friendly host. Very, very nice person and very helpful. He picked us up from the station which was very nice.

Hôte agréable, sympathique et souriante! Elle nous fait le petit-déjeuner et nous emmène et ramène de la station de métro la plus proche mais peut nous emmener au lieu où nous voulons visiter si ce n’est pas trop loin du logement.

Like many have mentioned, this was one of the best AirBnB stays I’ve ever had! Yoko’s place is an expression of her generosity — and her appreciation of beauty. We felt nourished physically and emotionally, from food provided for guests, the cleanliness and comfort, and Yoko’s warmth and responsiveness. The bicycles Yoko provides are such a great way to get around and experience Kyoto neighborhoods. I was traveling with my 16-year old nephew and he loved being able to bike off on his own and explore. Meeting Yoko’s father and getting a window into his mastery of bookbinding was also a wonderful experience. So many gems about our stay. Can’t wait to come back to Kyoto and spend more time at Yoko’s place!

We stayed at four airBnb‘s in Japan and all have their good points, but this was by far the best. Located in a quiet suburb so not walking distance to the main sites of Kyoto, but with some lovely sites that we would not have seen otherwise Close by. It was as simple Uber ride or train ride to get into Kyoto for main sightseeing and it was lovely to come home to a quiet un bustling local with a wide choice of excellent restaurants to choose among. The apartment itself is spacious, by far the most spacious we stayed in And it’s part of a an apartment complex which has a small gym. Nori and Fumi even served us breakfast all three days we were there in another upstairs breakfast room. To top it off, they picked this up and dropped us off at this train station three days later. All in all it was a really welcoming and comfortable place to stay, well worth the price we paid

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

The host was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for me since I was attending a conference at the international conference centre (20 minute walk). The facilities were excellent for the price.

Tommy’s Doraemon-style Guest House 🏠✨🍳 This was my very first time staying in a guest house in Japan—and I couldn’t have asked for a better start. Tommy’s home in Kyoto felt like stepping into Doraemon’s world: warm, nostalgic, and full of Japanese charm. The tatami floors, sliding doors, and cozy corners made me feel like I was part of an old-school anime. But what really made this stay unforgettable was Tommy himself. Every morning, he would prepare breakfast for us—homemade, delicious, and filled with love. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I had in Japan, not because it was fancy, but because it was made with such genuine care. There’s something deeply touching about this place. It wasn’t just a place to sleep; it was where my journey in Japan began. And because of that, it holds a very special place in my heart. Thank you, Tommy, for creating such a heartfelt and beautiful experience.

Had a wonderful stay in this traditional Japanese room. The host was very friendly and accomodating. He provided us delicious breakfast every morning and gave us good tour spot recommendations. We felt comfortable and welcomed here. Would definitely come again on our next Kyoto trip.

yukie的客房在我们到达的几天前起火了。很遗憾我们没能体验到这个房间，但是yukie和kavin为我们找到了另一个住处，我们住进了他们的朋友，津川夫妇家。津川夫妇也是非常友好和热情的人，我们非常愉快，就像多了两位家人一样。 感谢yukie总是非常及时和热情地回复我们的消息，并来车站接我们。yukie的英语很好，并且很乐于交流。我们很高兴在一起聚餐，并认识来自斯洛文尼亚的朋友。这里是日本的乡村地区，很多风俗和景致都与城市不同。我们很高兴能有这样的体验，这是一个安宁、恬淡、美丽的地方。y & k的精神深深感染了我。我非常希望一切困难都能被克服，祝你们平安、健康、幸福！

Chieri en haar moeder en hun schattige hond zijn hele lieve hosts die er alles aan doen om je verblijf een echte authentieke Japanse ervaring te laten zijn. Hun huis is prachtig ingericht, ruim en voelt heel fijn en gastvrij. Het café en de biertuin van Chieri zijn ook zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Het eten en drinken en het gratis Japanse ontbijt waren heerlijk. En als je nog authentieke Japanse souvenirs zoekt zijn die hier ook te vinden. Al met al een perfecte plek om even tot rust te komen na het bezoeken van de drukke steden als Kyoto en Osaka.

het huis is prachtig, vooral de familiekamer is erg de moeite. de badkamer is gemeenschappelijk maar dit gaf nooit problemen. het ontbijt was echt voortreffelijk, het personeel één voor één heel sympathiek. ok wil heel graag terug.

I enjoyed my stay here. Friendly staff, very clean room, convenient to bus and subway stops. Also a short walk to the busy shopping street. Breakfast there was a bonus. Very delicious!

John is one of the best host I’ve ever met at Airbnb. He is very friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic. He and his wife are very nice. I also love his dogs. They are very cute.

We were a family of 4, including a mischievous baby boy, and we had a ball of a time staying here. The hosts were friendly and warm. Michael taught us about tea as he made a welcome tea for us, and the breakfast was yummy. We loved the private sleeping space, and the tatamis. Used the washer / dryer, which helped a lot. Ikuko runs a pizza place on Wed / Thurs so don’t forget to try that!
