Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kyotango

The home is very special and unique. We are a family of two adults, a 16yo and 8yo. We all loved the home traditional aspects of the home with modern appliances. Even though the home is nestled into a neighborhood, it is a short walk to the gorgeous river, a huge grocery store and a little further are bus stops and train stations. The bikes were such a gift and we enjoyed using them. Although we didn't use them, it was thoughtful to have rain jackets and umbrellas available. Hiroe met us promptly even after a time change with little notice. She was efficient and thorough in her directions. We felt grateful to stay in such a lovely and comfortable home.

I recently stayed at Saito’s place and had a wonderful experience! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. The place was thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to one of the attraction, restaurants, and subway station, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. Thank you again, Saito, for being such a great host. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Our family of 7 had a truly wonderful stay at Kimi’s place in Kyoto. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable trip. Kimi and his wife were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even surprised us with gifts, which made our stay even more special. When we accidentally left an item behind, Kimi graciously arranged to have it delivered to us, showing such care and hospitality. Throughout our stay, communication was easy, warm, and helpful. We could really feel the heart they put into hosting, and we are so grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you again, Kimi and Marilyn!

Jikyo’s place felt very homely and it is the perfect spot if you want to experience the countryside of kyoto. He was also willing to go out of the way to accommodate us by picking us up from the train station personally!

La petite maison proposée par l’agence est située dans un quartier paisible et très typique des environs de Kyoto. Juste à l’arrière du château de Nijo, dont la visite fût une superbe découverte ! L’hôte des lieux a été plus qu’accueillante, chaleureuse et à notre écoute qu’importe la question et a fourni des instructions très claires pour vivre au mieux notre expérience, je recommande vivement!!

Our group of 8 stayed at this Air BnB during our three night stay in Kyoto. This place has two floors and the top and bottom floor are copies of each other. I really liked that each floor had their own washer/dryer, fridges and bathrooms. The area has a lot of good restaurants and it is fairly close to Nishkiki market along with other attractions. The Air BnB comes with a booklet of recommendations for restaurants and clear instructions on the home;

We loved our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family. The location was great. Close to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the local and JR train stations. The area wasn’t very touristy so we felt like locals! Express train ride from Yamashina station into Kyoto was easy.

房间很容易找到，就在大路边的一条小路口，出门走200米可以直达周围叫“四条大宫”的三个公交车站。而且因为四条大宫酒店的遮挡，所以整体很安静。可惜晚上外面的大路正好在修路，没睡好。一户建的问题是楼梯坡度比较陡，小孩需要当心。另外遮光一般，住楼上的话没法睡懒觉

Conversation was easy) Apartment clean and nice) All notable places of Kyoto easy reachable (metro walking 5 minutes) - Nishiki market must visit!) arigato gozaimasu!

Dank der großartigen Einführung der Gastgeber und den zwei bereitstehenden Fahrrädern konnten wir Kyoto etwas abseits der Touristenströme und Warteschlangen erleben. Die Wohnung ist klein aber bis ins Detail ausgetüftelt und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für 2 Personen für den Aufenthalt braucht. Die Nachbarschaft ist ruhig, die Bahn und der Fluß nah. Die Gastgeber haben uns sogar die Rückfahrt zum Flughafen organisiert. Wirklich super freundliche und interessante Menschen

It is such an accessible place from the center of Kyoto! The host is kind and the room is so clean.

Rundum perfekt - sehr zentrale Lage und trotzdem ruhig gelegen mit vielen Restaurants und Bars in der Umgebung - sehr gute Kommunikation mit Aika - das Zimmer ist etwas klein, hat aber alles was man braucht - das Bett war ein Traum! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten uns sehr gut erholen Immer wieder gern! Danke!

Cons- 1. You have to climb 1 or 2 floors of stairs, depending on which floor you are allocated. It is majorly a one time effort of picking your luggage. But given the overall struggles with luggage, this much is manageable. Pros- 1. Location -> 1. a: Located right next to metro station. ~15 min to kyoto station (10 min metro time + extra 5 min buffer for waiting/ switching trains). 1. b: Located walkable distance from major bus stops. Major bus stops to Kinkakuji are ~800m. For other spots its better to take metro. 1.c: Multiple convenience stores nearby. 1.d: Calm neighbourhood. Not noisy 2. Room-> 2.a: Very nice comfortable place, felt like home. Had everything you would want. Only the dryer was a paid add-on located at the Ground floor (that too was cheap: 100yen for 15mins) 2.b: Great Service: We made a request for a mop to the host and we had it within an hour. The stay was one of the best part of kyoto. Would highly recommend.

This was one of our favourite Airbnb stays. To find a 46 sq m apartment in Kyoto during sakura season is amazing! Everything was so spacious and comfortable - exactly as described and identical to the photos on the website. Easily walkable to the metro and buses for sightseeing plus it is surrounded by supermarkets, restaurants and bars for eating. It was very quiet during the night so perfect for sleeping. May is a brilliant communicator, every aspect of our stay from check in to check out was clearly shared with us. Highly recommended as an option for Kyoto.

Excellent location! Senkawa station is a few minutes walk and it is around 25 minutes walk to Ikebukuro. There are convenience stores very near to the place.. I’ll definitely be staying here again when I next visit Japan! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Ken was on of the most accommodating, friendly and helpful hosts we have met. In addition to the basics amenities, we enjoyed having a deck off the back of our unit with a table and chairs. We loved having breakfast outside while watching the birds over the river. We had easy access to the walking and biking paths on both sides of the river as well as many restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the location. Even though we were traveling during Golden Week, it was quiet at night and not crowded in the vicinity. Ken helped make our first trip to Kyoto (and Japan) a joy!

Fantastic location with plenty of amenities. The host was responsive to our contact and extremely helpful with local recommendations. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the elevator was a bonus as this doesn't seem common in Japan. They allowed us to leave our lugguge after check out while we explored Kyoto before departing the city. Overall this was a A+ experience and I would happily return.

Excellent location and very easy to get to places. Like many places in Japan, spaces are smaller, however we really loved the deep wardrobe/ cupboard. We were able to hang clothes, stack all our bags on a shelf and roll our suitcases straight in. Host was very helpful and gave us great information on current events. Would recommend.

A bit far from jr station ( 1 km ) but very near with bus station place very clean and comfy

Great location and very comfortable! The host was very responsive and helpful, showed us the room and amenities and made us feel at home. Very easy and short walks to stations, shops and attractions. I’ll be staying again when I visit Kyoto!

位子在伏見稻荷站附近，距離兩個車站都非常方便，出門左轉就有便利商店，買食物非常便利 入住當天因為行李眾多，詢問是否可以提早借放行李，屋主完全沒有猶豫，甚至給我們提早入住，體驗十分溫馨 謝謝屋主的慷慨，非常推薦大家可以前往住宿

Great location and airbnb was clean and appeared as advertised. Plenty of space for 5 people. Hosts were extremely responsive and flexible.

This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

We enjoyed this night in Kyoto so much . It’s a traditional Japanese house with all the elements we need. There’s a nice restaurant and also a famous cafe called ichikawaya nearby.
