Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Higashiyama Ward

We had a lovely stay in Icy's traditional Japanese house. The location is excellent, quiet but well connected to all major transport within walking distance. The house is quite spacious - we had lots of room for the 4 of us. Everything was super-well equipped, including even washing machine detergent, bathroom amenities and really everything. Overall super pleasant stay in a traditional setting and even a fish pond which they kids loved. One watchout (as with any other Japanese place I think) are the steep staircases - we had no issue with them, but could be an issue for older travelers or very young kids.

This is a magical place! Beautiful surroundings and off the beaten path. This is a great place to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. There’s great restaurants seconds away, my kids played in the lovely river, and the house was immaculate. We would love to come back! FYI stairs are steep to the sleeping area but wasn’t a big deal for us as our children are older. The host was so accommodating! She let us check out late. Thank you!!

Misaki was an amazing host and so accommodating. My friend and I arrived an hour early and we were able to keep our bags at the house so we could walk around the neighborhood! Misaki was also very responsive when we had questions about the air conditioning unit.

Just amazing I recommend everyone to stay with them .. the views are breathtaking also 🙌🏼

A very nice apartment, with great design and in a good location. Has 2 toilets and 2 showers, which makes it great for families. About 150m away from the nearest convenience store and about 200m away from the nearest bus stop. The host is very nice, helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

We stayed three nights at Koji-san's home and felt right at home. The place has a lot of space and really nice work station and a really comfy bed. This home is super clean and very well crafted together. There is washer and dryer, fridge and a small pantry area for some snacks. It is set in a quiet neighbourhood yet walking distance to train station and some really cool small local restaurants and bars! There's a gin distillery nearby with food and drinks, a really good local breakfast cafe where you get nice sandwiches and of course family mart for everything else you need. I strongly recommend this home for those who like to have an authentic experience in Tokyo yet having the accessibility to explore beyond!

This place is amazing, only 35min walking distance from Kyoto train station. Going there the Taxi didn’t want to take us all the way to the Airbnb but it is only 7min walking distance, a little of a hustle if you have luggage with wheels but totally worth it. Great location, and on the way back we walked to the station and it was a great walk. The place is super traditional which makes it a very unique experience. We only spent one night there and were out most of the time so didn’t use anything else besides one of the beds and the bathtub which is super cool 😎 recommend 💯

Thank you everything

Our stay here was absolutely perfect! The apartment was impeccably clean and cozy, well stocked and we loved the amenities they provided. The hosts were also very clear in the directions and responsive, thank you!

Shared bicycles can be rented next door to the room, making it easy to get around

Great place and responsive host! I highly recommend this place to stay in Kyoto.

Great stay in a convenient part of Kyoto! Apartment was clean and spacious. Thank you!

We had a pleasant stay in Kyoto. The place was photo compliant, clean and in a good location. The instruction to retrieve the keys deserves to be clarified (it was indicated to turn one way, when we had to do the opposite), but fortunately, a very nice person at the reception helped us. After we left, I thought I had left an item in the apartment: the host was very responsive and helped me quickly, which I enjoyed very much. Thank you again!

This was the perfect place for our family to stay in Kyoto. Noriko and her son were incredibly gracious hosts. They made check-in and check-out really easy, and we had great communication before and after our stay. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The location is ideal — in the middle of just about everything you want to do in Kyoto, and walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. I think my favorite thing was the cypress ofuro (bathtub) with digital temperature control — pure bliss!

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!

This was the best accommodation during our Japan travel. The place was so spacious compared to the other places we stayed at in Japan, and even the bathroom which I found very small in general around Japan was very big here. Especially loved the outdoor bath!! A baby cot and bath tub were provided and our baby slept beautifully during the stay. Our futons were comfortable too.

It was a wonderful stay. Lovely and quiet but still accessible to the 2 stations in walking distance (Fushimi-inari and Inari station). Great location to get to Fushimi-Inari shrine as well. We had a lovely time and spent a good few nights grabbing some easy food from the local convenience stores.

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

The host is the most amazing and kind hosts I have been across in my 9 years of being with Airbnb. He picked us up from the station since we had large bags and a baby stroller. We had a good time at his cafe where he hosted breakfast for, he also had fruits ready for us when we arrived. The location is also simply perfect in terms of connectivity to public transport, restaurants and supermarkets. We hope we can stay here whenever we visit Japan again.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

The place is very clean, neat and tidy. Has really good quality amenities including an espresso machine, a dryer room. It's very easy to find as it appears on the map directly when you put House Nozomi Hayashi San is very responsive and looked into one of our concerns immediately. It's near a bus stop with multiple buses going into the town. Katsuragawa station is about 1.5 KM, so bit of a walk when you have luggage or are tired. But we got cabs fairly easily. Do your research on places you want to travel to in Kyoto so you can see if the location works for you. In terms of convenience, lots of shops, supermarkets etc are available. It feels spacious. It would have been better to have access to the wardrobe, but we had a short stay so we did not mind living out of our suitcases. Overall good place, good amenities, location is good but that's subjective. Good, professional host.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

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

Good machiya type of stay. Surely recommend to everyone who is looking for a proper Japanese type of home experience
