Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ 3rd floor/ Wood bath
Upon arrival the Airbnb was extremely easy to find and had a sign on the outside of the building. They provide you with a code that allows you to get into the building and into your room which was also very easy to use. The Airbnb was beautiful and very spacious especially for being in Japan. Everything was very clean and well organized. There is also a full kitchen with a fridge which is very convenient. The Airbnb is in a great spot as it is in walking distance of a lot of shrines and temples as well as in walking distance of two different train stations. I recommend going down to the river at night and walking as there is a lot of entertainment down there. The hosts were very receptive and willing to help. I definitely recommend this place!!

Comfortable apartment with a super roof terrace (but two floors higher). Breakfast on the terrace every day. Wonderful overview of the city. Sumi was very informative and even took us to the station. Recommended to do: rent bicycles at Cycle Garden (is around the corner) and cycle along the rivers.

River View Near Kyoto Sta. / Wood bath/ 5th Floor
Great place, great location for us too. So peaceful and right next to the river for easy walks. For four adults the accomodation was just right with plenty of room so that we were not inconvenienced by our luggage. Just an all-round great place

Room 301 with a view of the Kamo River
It was a great stay! Beautiful view from the window, but it is obstructed by an electric pole. A bit dark to go up our room during night time, but it was safe!

This is one of the best host I have ever had. Thank you Sumi for your help with our stay in Kioto! The flat was perfect for us, couple, spacious and equipped, in interesting area. Additional plus for terrace with a view on city. Sumi recommend us some places where we could find local specialities. She also drop us off us to station. Full recommendation!

Convenient stand to Gion, Kiyomizu Temple, 5 minutes by tram to Fushimi Inari! Cocoon201
Lovely apartment, well located - central, but not in an area that was too busy. Convenient for station but also near restaurants, temples and shrines while being in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend!

River View Near Kyoto Sta. / Wood bath/ 4th Floor
The Airbnb is lovely and just as described (if not better). Clean, modern, loved the bath tub, and the beds (both the western style and the futon in the tatami room were comfortable). The location is very convenient and the surrounding neighborhood is a gem. The hosts were very helpful. I couldn't have asked for better home for our family vacation
Waterfront house rentals

IROHA STAY Kyoto Rei | Riverside Family Retreat
The house was very cute, clean and a great space for our family. We loved the balcony overlooking the stream; it was a beautiful space to sit and drink coffee/relax. The surrounding area was close to restaurants and shops. It was a little difficult to find at first because taxis cannot drive to the front door and you will have to walk through a small street or along the stream to locate the front door. However, once we found the front door everything went smoothly. We would highly recommended this place to a small family!

Barrel sauna available for a fee] Renobe old house with warehouse and large garden for rent/Up to 8 people/Tent sauna/BBQ available
They always responded politely and were very helpful during my stay. The facilities were beautiful and easy to use, and they took measures against insects in advance, so there was no particular trouble.The view was beautiful and overall very good.

Biwa Lake , the whole building for rent
A warm and sweet house. You can take a good rest and enjoy the surrounding area.

[Midorikawatei Casa Verde] 15-minute walk to Kyoto Station/11-minute walk to Kuju Station/1 minute to Kamogawa/High-speed WIFI
Nice place overall, cant think of any negatives honestly, especially for the price.

遥華~house /Central area for couple /西院駅5分
this was THE BEST air bnb we ever stayed in. she was so thoughtful. not only did she give local recommendations, but also even left bandages, and shower towels, hair caps and all sorts of items just in case we needed them. she was so so kind and so lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone else. if I'm back in Kyoto I would love to stay here again

[Entire house for rent, up to 20 people] Kyoto Miyamashikitei, a riverside rental villa where you can enjoy the Japanese countryside
Pro - Its a very good place. The kitchen cutlery is complete. The scenery is amazing. Clean and wifi is good. Definitely come again! Cons - bathroom only 1. So takes a lot of time. The view is great but the location is far from town. Need to travel 40mins just to reach town. So waste time there.

Sanjo Keihan st/A whole house/Gion
We had a wonderful time here. The house was spacious, clean, and had a view of the river with Sakura trees. It was in Gion with a number of restaurants, train stations, and other stores in walkable distance. I hope to stay here again next time my family comes to Kyoto!
