Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Kyoto

Soi’s Guesthouse is a super place to stay when you’re in Kyoto! All the hosts were super helpful, giving us recommendation and even helped us out with an office for one in our company. The street is also really peaceful and quiet, but still very close to the old town. Would definitely come back!

In addition to the satisfaction of the airbies, they provided services that exceeded the usual service, such as being able to participate in the festivities of the area. 　The host was kind and friendly, so they told me things I didn't know right away, and I had no inconvenience!

What a beautiful traditional Japanese home to stay We totally loved the old house, beautiful decorations, the inner courtyard and our room. Everything was perfect! Chieri is a great host, we felt very welcomed and home right away. We were on a road trip, so we also enjoyed that we could wash our clothes. And we tried out the traditional japanese bath. Perfect! Chieri, thank you for everything! Hope to see you someday again!

we enjoyed staying at Yoko's place in Kyoto for 1 week , it's very local buses near by and easy to get around . We were doing lots of day trip so always on the go but enjoyed this peaceful place

I loved my stay in Uji, absolutely fell in love with the town. The apartment's in a very convenient location, at the end of the main street, next to Uji bridge and Byodo-in Omotesando which is lined with shops and restaurants. Depending on which station you come from it's either 5 minutes or 10 minutes by foot. I liked my room (japanese-style, upstairs), it was nice and quiet. The host and his family are a quiet bunch, you barely notice them. They are out a lot but you can always contact them via message, f.e. to request a fresh towel or another blanket or whatever you need. You can use the lobby (= living room/common room) upstairs which has a couch and a fridge till around 11pm. My only complaint is that the downstairs shower had a bit of a mold problem (but there's an upstairs shower too). Also, they have a dog (you barely see or hear it, but you can smell it in the entrance area), so if you have dog allergy beware of that.

We were expected right in front of the house upon our arrival and introduced to house and Kyoto. Of course, you can't expect luxury from the place, but it has fully fulfilled its promise of being a traditional Japanese house, so we felt very comfortable. Sharing the bathroom with the owners was never a problem, it was always available to us. The room itself is very spacious and quiet. The area was great, with Katsura train station you are quickly in the center of Kyoto and even avoid the confusing central station in Kyoto. In Bahnhofstrasse West (call it that way) there was a cafe that we visited for breakfast from seven o'clock (Oak Food). East of Katsura Station there is a number of traditional places we have 焼肉 おもに visited. Excellent meat grilled on the finest charcoal at the table (believe it's called Yakiniku) in a simple inn. Attention, the barbecue makes the restaurant heavily smoky.

Staying at John’s place in Shiga was an unforgettable experience! John is an incredibly passionate and energetic host, always full of enthusiasm. He and his lovely wife, Rika, made me feel right at home. They even invited me to join their family for a delicious homemade dinner, and Rika kindly provided breakfast as well. Their son, Andre, was also very friendly, and I truly enjoyed our conversations. The house itself is a charming countryside cottage surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a perfect getaway. If you’re visiting Shiga, staying with John is an absolute must! Highly recommended!

Such a piece of heaven, especially for tea lovers. Tucked into the tea fields. This stay was at the end of a long journey, and Blodge Lodge was the perfect place to unwind.

Great place in lovely neighborhood, very clean, the best thing is that you can learn how to make onigiri during you breakfast, very lovely.

This guest house is will be the best choice. The host tommy is very kind and mindful. He speaks english very well, so someone who didn't speak japanese will be satified. Also, the domitory bed was very nice. It's cozy and comfotable. And Tommy will give you breakfast If you request. The toast was tasty. I recommend this guest house, you will not regret your choice. Thank you tommy!

Staying here for two nights is cozy and happy, it was the most special experience after I came to Kyoto!The host's uncle is really very kind. Every time I come back like I come home, the first floor is very warmly set up, the room is very clean, the toilet and bathroom are separated, it is very comfortable, there are different breakfast every morning, the host will also have a very friendly chat, ask how you eat. Looking forward to the next reunion!

Best Airbnb! we stayed at their 200 yeas old farmhouse with wonderful rooms, a terrace and surroundings. Very cozy big house. We have had a BBQ dinner together with the hosts and they also served us breakfast. it was super great to stay there.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Kyoto! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help out with any questions or needs. The location is great – it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest station and equally close to popular spots like Sanjo and Nishiki Market, making it easy to explore the area. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the breakfast. It wasn’t just a standard continental breakfast – each morning, they prepared a full, delicious spread for every guest, which was such a treat to start the day. You could really feel the care and effort they put into making everyone feel at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The only minor issue was the washer and dryer, which are a bit dated. The dryer took a while to dry a half load, so I’d recommend doing smaller loads or planning laundry for when you have some time to hang out. Overall, I loved my stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting!

A beautiful traditional machiya house, super clean, rooms were fantastic (I stayed in two different rooms), host were very helpful and welcoming, food was so delicious, location very central (walking distance to Kyoto Station, restaurants, cafés). I had a wonderful experience overall; surpassed my expectations!

Out of all the places that we stayed in while we were in Japan, Takumi's place will be the most memorable. From the beautiful home in the quaint village to the five star dinner and breakfast that was prepared for us by our host. It truly was such a unique experiences and we are very grateful, Arigato Goziamasu! Also, if Takumi makes you soup, the soup is done when the fire burns out 😀

I really felt at peace at Chiaki’s place. It was like being at home, safe and warm, and both were so attentive and helpful. I would definitely come back another time, also due to the wonderful food that Chiaki cooks!
