Townhome vacation rentals in Higashiyama Ward

Really amazing place, feels very authentic, very spacious and really clean! Would massively recommend staying for couples looking for a more authentic/luxurious place to stay as a treat

Yukiko’s place was just as described, and the photos accurately reflect the listing. One thing to keep in mind is that the space is quite compact—doorways, stairs, and walkways are narrow, so we found ourselves bumping elbows and knees occasionally. That said, I really loved the traditional aesthetic with subtle modern touches: tatami floors upstairs, sliding paper doors, lots of wood, and a cozy foot heater under the table. Just a heads-up for anyone with a sensitive nose—it does carry a bit of that classic “old house” smell. Location wise it is situated in a quiet neighborhood near Nijo Station (~10 min walk) and there are other Airbnb units that Yukiko has next door. So if you have a group of 4 or more, you could potentially book the unit next door too. Lastly, the in-house 2-in-1 washer and dryer machine was super handy! The machine was also labeled with English translation for easy operation. Would definitely consider booking again if we are in the area :)

Great experience overall!

Very good accommodation in the authentic Japanese style. Few shops nearby unfortunately

This is an original machiya and full of character. We particularly enjoyed the small garden in the back and the outdoor (but covered and private) walkway to the bath. The location is excellent on a nice quiet street in Kita ward, close to public transportation. Many attractions and very good supermarkets are in easy walking distance. The neighborhood has many nice wooden houses and it is a pleasure to just go for a walk. This part of Kyoto is not overrun by tourists either and we had a very pleasant time. The host, Koichi-san, is a Kyoto native whose family has a long history in the city and he is very happy to share his deep knowledge of the city with guests. Overall an excellent choice for staying in Kyoto -- highly recommended.

There are also some shrines in a neighborhood that is conveniently accessible but quiet and quiet.Write about staying for up to five people, but because there is only one bathroom for five people, it's still more exciting.

We enjoyed our time at Akane’s place! During check in, she showed us around the house and taught us how to use the appliances, shower, etc., which was very helpful. The house was complete with all we needed. The massage chair and outdoor shower were added bonuses that we enjoyed! Akane was kind and very responsive to any questions we had. Her place was walking distance to Kyoto station, malls, restaurants and convenience stores!

Ume's place was a fantastic place for our time in Kyoto. It's far enough away to be quiet yet close enough to grab a quick train (3 minute walk, 2 minute ride) to the nearest station for things like Gion and Nishiki. it's only about a ten minute walk from Kyoto station as well. Ume was a great host, giving recommendations, checking in with us a couple of times throughout our trip, etc. Do note the stairs are a tad narrow (not uncommon for Japan) so if you've got mobility concerns keep that in mind though there is a bedroom on the lower floor as well to help with that. would definitely stay here again.

The room is very clean and tidy, suitable for many friends to play together; 10 minutes walk from Karasuma Kujo subway station, but the location is safe and quiet; the host is friendly and responsive, it is a very good experience!

The location of the house is very comfortable. The atmosphere of Kyoto is very good. You can walk to Kinkakuji Temple. What was lacking in the US was that it was very bright at night when sleeping at night with the street light right outside the room window right next door

Great place! 15 min walk to the train station. Bus very close if needed. Spacious enough for 2 couples, a shower room, a bathroom, 2 separate toilets, a large friendly kitchen. All this allows you to live well without stepping on it! Very nice stay. I recommend it.

It was a great stay in Kyoto and my wife wishes to come back to the same house in the future! Most of the hotel rooms in Japan are small, which is very inconvenient for family. My son is 16, but he is taller than me already. We always want to find spacious place to fit us in. Airbnb became the first choice for our family trip. The place is exactly as described, clean and convenient. The stairs to the 2nd floor is a bit steep, but you will get used to it after several up and down trip. The neighborhood is very quiet. Walkable distance to Kyoto Station, Watson, and 7-Eleven. The only drawback might be the location, which is close to Kyoto Station but a bit far from the city center of attractions. We took taxi very day, and everything is within 15-20mins drive.

Exactly what we needed after the last few weeks in hotels. It made us feel like we were locals for that moment. Everything is 10mins walk away and you’re close to the river for those sunrise/ sunset walks.

we had a great stay, we felt comfortable, we slept well. it was nice to stay in and experience japanese traditional living space. bed was comfortable, heater and heated floor rug kept us warm during the colder weather. space was nice and plenty for the 5 of us. locationwise was great since it was just 2-3 minutes walk to the train station and less than 10 minutes walk to Fushimi Inari shrine entrance. Sorrounding neighborhood was so peaceful. we loved it!

We miss this place already. The instructions were super clear to find the place, it was extremely clean, the neighborhood was private and quiet, and the host was so proactive in helping us + had super quick and kind responses. Would recommend and stay here again in the future :)

Fanatastic stylish Japanese apartment with excellent equipment - even better than the fotos suggest!

Lovely stay with a large group. We all had plenty of space and felt right at home! Great location - walkable to so many sights and in a super quiet neighborhood. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

A very nice small house in a quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed my visit to Kyoto!

Very clean and spacious hostel, full of things, huge table downstairs very functional, and nice little courtyard.The hotel is close to Kyoto station, there is also a bus station not far from the door of the house, it is easy to go anywhere, and there is no convenient place for 6 days, the experience is good ~ (there is also a little place that needs improvement, 1.The toothpaste is too small enough for a day, and you need to bring your own toothpaste if you stay many days.2. The south-facing room is close to the road, occasional motorcycle noise hits in the early hours of the morning, suggesting that a pair of earplugs can be prepared ~)

Had a wonderful stay. The location is great, very convenient to Higashiyama’s best walking neighborhoods. Loved the charm of the alleyway leading to the property and quiet setting. Nice layout inside.

Recommended, it was comfortable to live in, fully equipped with toiletries, and let me come back outdoors and relax.

There was a little difficulty when checking in, the key box could not be opened according to the google address, and then walked a hundred meters to find the correct house.The reason for choosing this home is because the decoration style is particularly in line with my aesthetic and is actually exactly as pictured.The lack of the United States is that there are a lot of huge ants indoors, and I hope it can be improved.The surroundings are quiet, suitable for people who do not sleep well, there are convenience stores and supermarkets just a few tens of meters away.

House is just perfect, very clean, great organized, extreamly cozy. we loooved to stay here a lot!!!! love it! would highly reccomend!😊😊

Pros : Clean, tidy, cozy house, nearby a convenience store, very nice backyard Cons : no chairs available in the accommodation Overall the house was good, clean ,tidy and cozy with a good location
