Townhome vacation rentals in Shiga

Natalie’s place was beyond expectations. It was in a great location just few mins walk to the subway, it was super clean with comfy beds and Natalie was the most gracious responsive host! Anytime we had a question, she answered so quickly and she was so accommodating with our luggage delivery. We have never been to Japan before, so there was a lot of uncertainty and anxiety about being in a new place, but Natalie made it go so smoothly and easily!! This guesthouse is in a nice quiet residential location but close to the subway so that made it easy to get around. We couldn’t have asked for a better host! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Kyoto!

This home is a unique restored traditional Japanese shop house. We loved the feel of the place and my 11 year old son especially loved climbing up to the loft! The house is in a quiet area but close to a wide variety of good restaurants (we especially liked Goya and would recommend it without hesitation) and also a very short walk away from the beautiful and not overly crowded Higashiyama Jisho-ji which is well worth the visit. We had excellent communication with the host. All in a great stay and we strongly recommend this place!

A very warm and welcoming host, he made us feel right at home. The house itself was very cozy!! Additionally, it was very clean and had everything we needed :) very good location as it was near many yummy restaurants and close to the station which took us right into the city.

absolutely lovely historic home in a fantastic location. I'm looking forward to staying here again in the future

We had a wonderful stay! Amazing location, very clean and tidy house and a helpful host - would definitely recommend.

very good location and tradition hiuse to stay

Yasuhiko san was waiting for us when we arrived and explained everything about the place in careful detail, and provided what turned out to be great recommendations for a bakery and a grocery store, both nearby. The staircase, as he warned us ahead of time, is quite steep -- my older friends preferred to stay downstairs; I used the upstairs bedroom and found it easier to use the staircase by walking down backwards like a ladder -- it is quite steep. The area is very busy with tourists, many foreign, and both the bakery and the grocery had more non-Japanese than Japanese when we visited -- I suppose this is to be expected so close to Gion. But in short, the place was wonderful, as was Yasuhiko.

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.

Keirei's place is fantastic. Very comfortable for a family - a place to spend time together, two separate bedrooms with a comfortable bed and futons, two separate bathrooms and two toilets. Great Japanese style vibe. We were surprised by the number of amenities and amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. Great location, very quiet and peaceful, and around the corner there are bus stops and a walk to the metro, close to restaurants and shops. Great hosts, very kind, and available for every inquiry. I would come back again without thinking. Thanks so much!

We had a lovely time at Miro’s bnb. The house was beautiful and had a traditional Japanese feel, perfect for a trip to Kyoto. The house is in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, though still close enough to walk to local attractions. I would highly consider booking here again.

We enjoyed our stay here, very quiet with comfortable futon with AC in each room. She allowed us to drop our bags before check in which was really helpful so we didn’t have to use storage lockers. Walking distance to Gion.

The hosts are very attentive, showed us around at the check in and visiting places. They even showed us where to park by driving us to the parking area. They provided great amenities . Room is clean and neat. Will definitely come back when we travel to Kyoto again.

We had a wonderful experience staying here! We walked mostly everywhere, but the bus and trains were very convenient. The house was very comfortable, beds and pillows/comforters were really nice. The instructions were very thorough. We used the washing machine to cleaned our clothes and there was a small dryer which is unusual for an Airbnb in Asia. I would highly recommend this place. Definitely one of the nicer places we’ve stayed in. The steps upstairs are a little narrow, only if you have someone with problems climbing would I say it may be a problem. For us no issue.

Absolutely stunned by our experience at Yuya’s beautiful 112-year-old home. Everything from the looks of the house, clean inside, responsive staff that helped us find Kimono rentals, discounted taxi tickets, EVERYTHING! We’ll be staying here again. Thank you Yuya and your team, you were amazing.

Kanon’s place was tiny but really pretty and in a perfect location, just 5 minutes walking from the Shichijo station. Kanon was very informative since the beginning and I must mention that due to my partner having some health issues, we had to leave after 2 nights and Kanon refunded the remaining 2 nights, which honestly I was not expecting to happen. 100% recommended!!

This Airbnb is very beautiful, very comfortable and a complete treat to stay in. You can say it’s good or bad, but it is located right next to the most heavily visited part of the town. You can easily avoid the crowds though because it is on the edge and you can walk to many of kyotos most lovely areas.

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!

This was our favorite place we stayed in Japan. It was larger than expected inside with a dining table and two spaces for tea. The sleeping area was also spacious and relaxing with shoji screens on all the windows. The neighborhood is very quiet and private with a nice stone path inside the gate. It's a 5 minute walk to Kyomizu-dera template, and 20 minutes to Gion. Walking back at night through the side streets is especially pleasant compared to staying in a hotel downtown.

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.

Cost-effective with more comfort than you can imagine The surrounding environment was also relaxed, and we had a very fulfilling trip.

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

A fantastic and peaceful place to stay if you want to escape the crowds of Kyoto, while still being in easy transport links. Highly recommended!
