Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sakyo Ward

Thank you to this traditional old house for making our trip a pleasant experience and for the patience of the host.We are very satisfied with this trip, the construction of the homestay is very good, and the location is convenient!

What an amazing place to stay! You step back in time. The house looks full of history and has a small garden and outdoor tub! Koji and Eri are great hosts, friendly, responsive and welcoming. They have a lot of recommendations about the area. Just keep in mind that there are steep steps to the second floor and also if you’re very tall there is a possibility of head bumping :) The area itself is very convenient and we walked to many places of interest. Can recommend this property to any adventurous traveler!

One of top two AirBnBs we stayed in during two weeks in Japan. The house is so cute, the kitchen well stocked. There is a Western dining table with chairs, which was great, because we ordered in when we arrived late the first night. The beds are super comfortable and the garden lovely. Two toilets! Bikes a lovely addition! And it had the only dryer we saw in our time there! We were welcomed in person by our host who gave us a map, recommended nearby restaurants and bakeries, and even lent us a converter for our plug, which we had lost AND let us keep it at the end of the stay! We needed to ask him numerous questions and he always responded quickly with good and helpful information. AND, my daughter left a pair of necklaces she loved, and he is mailing it to the US for us! The Tom Sawyer bakery (open early!) made for a delicious breakfast every morning. Lovely quiet neighborhood that gives you an experience of a real Tokyo neighborhood, no tourists! Highly, highly recommend!

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!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The property is beautifully maintained, and one of the highlights was the serene koi ponds that added a peaceful, relaxing vibe to the entire experience. The space is thoughtfully designed with great amenities — coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, butter, cookware, multiple sinks and separate bathroom areas made it super convenient for our group of 6. It was easy for several people to get ready at the same time without feeling crowded. The owner also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, even bringing us air fresheners — such a thoughtful and responsive host. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for a group or anyone looking for a calm, well-equipped place to stay. Highly recommend!

Wow, a great little house in a quiet area. We've been so happy to stay at Mayumi's place, where everything was just fine. And a host who was sweet and communicative. Definitely a huge recommendation!

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!

Everything was perfect! Smooth communication, clear and easy to understand. Everything what you need for a comfortable stay in Kyoto. Location very convenient as well. Thank you!

We had a good stay. Mineral noise since it was in a residential area. Walkable to public transit and Nishiki Market. AC was very good. Washer and dryer worked well for small loads.

Totally recommend staying here. It’s at a great location. Right in front of a 711 and right next to a really good restaurant. Mio is a very nice person. Thank you for the stay we loved it

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.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

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.

We stayed in Naoyuki's property for 4 days and loved the stay. The room with 4 futons was amazing and very traditional with Japanese decors. The proximity to the bus stop and tram/train station was extremely convenient in terms of transportation. The stay was as warm and cozy as Kyoto.

Very clean and maintained. Everything has been thought of. It even had adapters for the sockets, you don't even have to take your own (I still recommend it just in case). Too good for the price in my eyes. Host is very helpful and friendly, was really fun. The kitchen was also well equipped with dishes and even scissors, etc. I highly recommend it!

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.

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 :)

This is a great place and it's in a good central location in Kyoto. I loved that it was across from the Imaya Coffee shop - a great place to start the day a few steps away! Bedroom was very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Kyoto.

Loved our stay! The accommodation is located in a peaceful and unspoiled area, very close to Arashiyama, with several means of transportation within walking distance — convenient to explore Kyoto and its surroundings. The neighborhood is full of good places, and Jun & Aki shared many local recommendations that really enriched our experience. The accommodation itself is spotless: clean, comfortable, very well equipped — ideal even for a long stay. It far exceeded our expectations. A quick tip: If you stay for several days, consider renting a bicycle to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. It's a real plus!

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

Wonderful home. Just like the pictures, in a great location and extremely clean.
