Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kobe

We stayed at Toshie’s designer house for 4 nights. The architecturally fantastic home is in a quiet neighbourhood a short busride from Gakuenmae station, with quick train access to Nara, Kyoto and Osaka. Toshie picked us up from the station, which was appreciated as it might have been tricky to find the house ourselves. She gave us instructions for local transport and amenities within walking distance. Toshie is an exceptional host who is genuinely interested in her guests making sure they have an enjoyable stay. During our visit we needed medical attention and Toshie was extremely helpful with taking us to the hospital and pharmacy. We felt very safe having her as a translator. One night we were able to join Toshie and her husband for dinner and also met their daughter who has a ceramics studio in the house. Thank you Toshie for your hospitality, kindness and generosity. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I highly recommend this house for a unique base to explore the Nara area.

We spent 8 nights in Osaka, and Tony's place was perfect. Nakatsu station is ~5 minutes from the house, and you can get anywhere from there. Tony was phenomenal, meeting us when we arrived, showing us how everything operated at his place, and then taking us to the train station on our departure day. Tony is great and his place is great. I could not imagine staying anywhere else now. Phenomenal host. Honestly, the best we've ever had, and we've had great hosts. Book now!

I also enjoyed BBQs and a little cooking in a private space. I was able to see the stars at night, and in the morning, I woke up to the natural light from the outside, and it was an elegant night and two days.✨ The room was new and clean, the ceiling was high, and the spacious space was lovely!

We had a very nice time in this stylishly furnished house. We felt very good in this environment. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Communication was very good. We will gladly come back on our next stay in Osaka.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay with an Amazing Host! We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb, made even more memorable by the incredibly friendly and thoughtful host, Ms. Judy Kim. She contacted us well in advance with clear check-in instructions and was flexible in accommodating our arrival time. She even met us in person to assist with parking and gave us a warm welcome with a house tour. We were touched by the little gestures—iced bottled water, delicious snacks, and her genuine conversation where she shared about herself and made us feel right at home. She even helped with our luggage and came to send us off when we checked out. It’s rare to meet such a hospitable and caring host. Highly recommended—we would love to stay again!

Best Airbnb we have stayed in by far! Not your typical Airbnb. Christian and his wife take care of you like a family guest. They drive you places, help you plan your stay, cool breakfast, share their sake, and makes reservations plus more! They are so friendly and nice! The house is gorgeous! Just as pictured. Modern bathrooms with old Japanese feel throughout. We did the soba and the pottery - loved both! Thank you for all!

Wow this was a great find. Authentic Japanese accommodation, 10 mins walk from the train station with easy access to Kyoto. Very comfortable stay here, would definitely come back

There was an inn in a natural idyllic place, and I was refreshed! The instructions at the time of entry were also courteous. The inside of the inn was very clean, unique and lovely. I definitely want to stay there again! Thank you!

It was very helpful that they were very kind from booking to checking out. The room was beautiful as pictured! It was a great place, so I hope to see you again!I think.♬ *

Walking distance to many spots. Good food all around and the place is very clean and easy to find. Google maps let us to the wrong side of the building originally and the host helped us find the door which was just in the other side!

Very clean and had all needed amenities. Layla was very responsive and kind

Enjoyed my 3 nights stay with my family. Airbnb is as described. Clean and super convenient. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Affordable and sufficient, the accommodation was minimalistic but still had everything we needed during our stay. Great for shorter stays. The host replied instantly every time which was helpful.

A great spot in Osaka! I was only here for one night but the space would be great for someone staying long term. Host lives/works in the building so he can help with luggage if you get in early or have any issues. Stocked kitchen and large fridge and amenities! Great value!

Good location, not far from the subway and JR, just over a kilometer to Namba; there are several large supermarkets around, so you don't have to worry about not having food if you come home late.The room is clean and tidy, the room is already large, the bed is also relatively large, the check in/out process is also very simple, in short, all aspects are good

Beautiful place, very good location. Kid friendly, too!

Summer is great! The location was perfect for shopping and fun restaurants. It was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable. I actually felt. very lucky to find a place where we were so close to so much. Highly recommend 💞

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.

It’s a simple place, got a stove fridge and a washer (no dryer). Just needs like a dresser or some counter space and it would be perfect

The first time I came to Osaka, it was a great experience.I look forward to coming to Japan again.The host's room manual is very detailed, thank you.

Great little apartment which was surprisingly spacious for Japan!

Easy to find and accessible .. Smooth check in and very responsive host.. the house has all necessary amemities

It was a convenient location, easy to get to the city center, such as Namba.The room was clean and easy to use.I was relieved that the reply was so quick.
