Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kansai

Seiko’s place feels like a home. It’s pretty and quirky and cozy enough that every afternoon during our 5 night stay, my husband and I, along with our two teens, would head back to the apartment to put our feet up for an hour or so before heading back out. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water. The air conditioner works well and we were happy to have it for a summer visit in Kyoto. The location is great for getting around but also quiet. Things to note are that the bedrooms get bright in the morning and that the traditional beds may be uncomfortable if you like a soft bed.

Beautiful home. Right by the water. very quiet and peaceful. A very nice change of pace from the big cities. Surrounding towns have great food and friendly people. highly recommend renting a car. Drives are easy and beautiful. Had a great time

Check-in was a little later than scheduled, but they responded with a smile and the explanation was polite. The inside of the house, the futons and the goods were also clean. They also prepared BBQ equipment and cleaned up the charcoal, so we had a comfortable holiday without the hassle of cleaning up. In addition, they responded quickly to any questions I had during my stay, and it was very pleasant. Thank you very much.

It was in a great location. I enjoyed the sunset on the terrace. We had a very good time in the private space. I think the quietness will change depending on whether there are guests in the neighboring container house. The kitchen was also well-equipped, and it was useful for cooking with the Shodoshima olives and salt. It was a short stay this time, but I would like to visit again.

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

We had a wonderful stay. Yukiko was very helpful and responsive. The place was exactly as described - very clean, well laid out and had an aesthetic vibe. The neighborhood gave us a real feel for Osaka, away from all the touristy stuff yet with easy access. Local restaurants were great. Yukiko shared great recommendations and was super helpful throughout!

Yumiko’s place is tucked away high on a hill, offering a private and serene atmosphere rarely disturbed by passersby. The view from both the home and the side yard was absolutely gorgeous and calming. I could hear birds chirping in the morning, and watching ships quietly passing through the ocean below added to the sense of peace and stillness. Inside, the house was spotless and carried a subtle, pleasant fragrance that welcomed me the moment I walked in. The road leading up to the house was narrow and felt intimidating at first, but it was perfectly manageable with a compact car. As the days passed, I began to notice how thoughtfully each decoration had been selected—every small detail seemed carefully prepared, and it truly elevated the experience. Overall, it’s a wonderful retreat from the busyness of everyday life.

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 :)

The place was fantastic. The apartment was spacious, elegant, and had all the comforts of home. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was laid out well. The location was also fantastic: very convenient for accessing multiple train stations and only a few minutes from great areas to explore in Osaka.

Clean environment, convenient location, good attitude of the host

Had an amazing stay in Osaka. The accommodation was a good size, very clean and great location. Check in was easy and Layla was very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. It was in a great location and we were able to get to everything fairly easily. The space was small, and there is not space for oversized luggage. We carefully laid them on the bathroom floor near the windows and that still gave us enough space to move about. The rest of the flooring is tatami mats so you need to be very carefulnot to roll luggage on it. You also have to walk up a narrow stepped staircase for 3 floors to make it to the room so please keep that in mind. It had beautiful traditional japanese touches that made it stand out. The open air bath was a lovely feature and I especially enjoyed that. It also has a door for privacy. My husband and I did notice that it is not possible to fill the bathtub while the shower was on, so I would suggest filling the bathtub before you shower. Keep these things in mind when you are deciding if it's right for you. Overall, it was lovely and the japanese beds helped our bodies recover from each day of walking.

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

We had a wonderful stay in this very clean and comfortable home, which had everything we needed—whether we were relaxing inside or heading out to explore. After a week of travel, we especially appreciated having laundry facilities and helpful supplies on hand. The space felt roomy for the two of us, especially compared to other places we’ve stayed in Japan. May and Milan were very responsive, and the detailed instructions made it easy to use the Japanese appliances. The location was excellent, just a 10-15 minute walk to Nishiki Market, with plenty of great restaurants and cafes nearby. We’d love to return and would happily stay at May’s place again!

The place was well equipped, clean, in a great location near to a supermarket and convenience store. Short walk to a metro station and in a great area.

Overall, it's okay, but when we asked for the room number, they told us they weren't sure, but Airbnb already showed it, and then they confirmed it, and they told us it was inaccurate, but what Airbnb showed was accurate... this aspect is a bit perfunctory, but the rest is good.

Great apartment to stay at in Osaka! Within walking distance to Dotonbori, still quiet/peaceful for rest. Very well decorated, well stocked kitchen and bathroom and lots of towels. Great, responsive, helpful host. Only few drawbacks is lack of storage space (limited closets) and having to share one bathroom/toilet. Would definitely recommend to others and we would stay here again in the future!

This air bnb was close to everything we wanted to do while in Osaka. Lots of great restaurants and shops in the area. I also really loved that there was a 7/11 on the bottom floor. I would recommend Summers place to anyone!

this place was great and pretty central in Osaka so getting around is easy. Namba station is a 5 min walk . Its literally right at the dotonbori and close the famous neon billboards Osaka is known for that you get to see it practically throughout your stay. Layla was easy to talk to. Place was very clean up on arrival. 3 convenient stores are just outside, so you can easily get snacks. I'd definitely book here again when I come back to Osaka l. highly recommend. 5 stars!

Yuko was extremely responsive. Easy check in and out. The only think I wish would be better is the beds were kind of hard for my liking, but our daughters loved their beds

The house is very well located, very close to the station and surrounded by food street.It is a room and room, as a foreigner, needs to adapt a little, but it also gave us an interesting experience.Well-equipped, sparkling clean, and the host thoughtfully prepared a wealth of linen and supplies.

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

I used it to go to the Expo.It was close to the station and had good access!! The room was beautiful, with a large bed and a bathtub, so I was able to rest my tired body and relax.Thank you very much.

Our experience here was fantastic! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making it a real pleasure to experience living like a local Japanese in a condo, rather than a typical chain hotel. The location is unbeatable: you're just steps from the subway and a short walk from both Dotonbori Street and Kuromon Market. We had a truly wonderful stay in a highly convenient spot. Highly recommended!
