Family-friendly holiday rentals in Maibara

The house was lovely and we enjoyed staying surrounded by locals. Our host communicated with me as needed and we were very happy with every aspect.

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

The house offers an authentic experience of a traditional Japanese home. Spacious, has spaces for guest room, living room, kitchen, bedroom, storage, dressing and a cute little backyard. Loved the bathroom amenities and enjoyed the bathing tub. The hosts were very kind and waited for us to arrive. They welcomed us in and walked us through all the amenities and operations in the house. They also showed us bus routes to all the popular Kyoto spots laid out on a map. They even provided a bike for our grocery runs etc. Everything we ended up needing was in the house, like umbrellas, full-length mirror, extra stools, washer-dryer. The backyard is smoking-friendly. Overall, very happy that we decided to stay at this property.

Great Machiya stay with a traditional feel, but with modern amenities such as heated floor! Also perfect location to explore Kyoto. Tokuji san was always very responsive during communications. Overall, highly recommended!

This place had a great location for bus stations leading to many attractions in the Higashiyama area. The bath tub was awesome. The rooms were more spacious than most of the other places we’ve stayed at in Japan. It felt like a traditional Japanese home without sacrificing on modern amenities. The washer/dryer was a huge plus to have. Can’t recommend enough!

Amazing stay here in Kyoto. We were in a lovely neighborhood that felt like we were living there. The space was clean and tidy and had all the amenities we needed. Highly recommended!

We simply loved staying in this home. The location is ideal for experiencing Kyoto. Peaceful and quiet and yet five minutes to metro/bus stops. And we also walked to many sites and temples. Ume is a gracious host and the home is a beautiful and historic building. We were very comfortable with two adults and two teenagers. Highly recommended.

We are really happy with the apartment. It is spacious and clean. As their main building has reception, we could leave our suits cases after check out. They also helped us to get a taxi on a heavy rain day. They made our trip so much easier. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you for being so kind. We will definitely stay again when we come to Kyoto!

This hidden gem is conveniently located near the metro line, making it incredibly easy to get around during our stay. We absolutely loved the place—it felt like home, set within a beautifully traditional Japanese-style house. It was truly a wonderful experience, with all the listed amenities and a peaceful atmosphere in a quiet part of town. I highly recommend it for families of three or four. Our host was polite and very helpful whenever we had questions. The thoughtful decor and small details made it feel like one of the most authentic Japanese home experiences you could ask for.

We stayed with 4 adults and 1 infant.It is very clean and I am very satisfied.The owner, in particular, accepted my selfishness... and I was very grateful. I would like to ask you again🙇

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

We loved our stay at Yamano’s place. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, but it was just a short walk to the river, bus stop, and train station. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind. They met us at check in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They also sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area.

We stayed with 3 families of 12 people, but there were plenty of beds and we were able to relax!It was great to have a BBQ even though it was raining!

This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

The Ryokan is beautiful, typically Japanese and suitable for our trip with the big family. We admired the beautiful sliding doors, the typical floor, the large French doors and especially the incredibly wonderful Japanese garden every day.

Have never stayed in an Airbnb this unique in architecture. It’s 2 beautiful houses joined by a lovely garden and a walkway. One over 100 years old, and absolutely stunning, and the other a modern one with all amenities. And top it all a wonderful host, so kind and communicative.

Shogo was an amazing host!! His home was clean and he had so many great directions in english for me and the other guests. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto! I know we will be back :)

Great host in a beautiful area. The entire house was magnificent

I wish I could’ve stayed longer ! Everything was perfect during my stay, it’s a very peaceful and quiet place, and we’re not too far from the center of Kyoto It was my first time sleeping on a futon and this is honestly very comfortable ! I’ve got welcomed by Mrs. T (I don’t know if I’m allowed to say her name in the review), she was so sweet and kind, she showed me some food recommendations, and brought my breakfast in the morning Thank you so much again for having me, and I hope to come back soon ! ☺️

Without exaggeration, I can say that this was my most wonderful AirBnB experience as a family so far. We jumped into the lake every morning, enjoyed the view towards mountains and savoured our breakfast in rural silence. We are travelling without a car and were able to reach the house very easily from the train station, even though we have a lot of luggage. For our 1.5 year old daughter, this was paradise. She enjoyed saying hello to the chickens, splashing in the lake or playing on the beach. Chie and Iain provided the perfect family friendly environment: a high chair, children's books and children's cutlery - nothing was missing. They gave us additional recommendations for activities with a child. All in all a 10 out of 10.

There was no problem communicating with the host, and they asked me about my requests. The building is separate and I was able to stay without hesitation. It was nice to have a baseball board and other games. If you are staying with 6 people, please be careful with two people staying in a double bed.

This cozy home is just 2 mins walking from the historic resort Toji Temple and 8 mins walking to Toji station which is convenient to everywhere we want to visit. This entire home is very quiet and charming. It’s a typical Japanese style decor inside and has everything we need . I’ll strongly recommend here to everyone who wants to explore Kyoto.

Staying in this traditional Japanese house was a truly unique and peaceful experience. A perfect blend of culture, comfort, and hospitality of Mariko & Hiro — highly recommended for those who look for authentic Japanese experience.

This place was definitely a steal for the price. Lots to do in the area. It’s in a local neighborhood so it’s not too busy or noisy but it’s within a good distance from all the things you’d want to do in Kyoto. The host was responsive and helpful and gave a great list of places to visit in the area. Can’t go wrong with this place! Definitely a steal for the price!
