Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Shōnan

There are some places that remind you why you love Airbnb — and Hiroki’s home in Chigasaki is one of them. A true gem: bright, beautifully designed, nestled beside a peaceful Japanese garden. Just steps away is a charming little café run by a kind and talented host, serving delicious meals. And the five bicycles provided? They allowed us to explore the town at our own pace, all the way to the nearby beach. Chigasaki is perfect for a few days of slow life, far from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. Without a doubt, this is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. A place we leave reluctantly, but that makes us want to come back.

Staying at this Airbnb was a wonderful experience. It was easily walkable from the closest station. The place is nice and clean and had a lot of room. The beds were comfortable and there were enough amenities that made the stay comfortable and easy. The host was incredibly kind and helpful and very responsive. Overall would definitely recommend.

We arrived really early and needed to leave our luggage at airbnb before our check in time and our host was very accommodating.

Thank you so much for having us. It was really convenient taking the subway to Shiinamachi or walking to Ikebukuro. The place was clean and easy to use.

The place is great, it is a house with 3 bedrooms, 2 subway stations very close which makes it very easy to get around the city, konbini very close too, the space of the place is quite enough since it is a house, we were 3 people, each with 2 large suitcases and we had a lot of space, if I go back to Tokyo I would definitely stay here again.

This stay was perfect for our first stop in Japan. The house is quiet but also located close to a station, shops, and restaurants. She is very thorough in her instructions and added some extra nice touches to our stay.

Wonderful hosts! I cannot say that enough. We were picked up and dropped off at the station coming from Narita. The house is just as you see in the photos and everything is well taken care of. Whenever we had concerns or questions, there we had a response. For a big trip internationally, the recommendations were well received and the hosts helped us with travel and figuring out where to get on the train and how to get around. Facilities inside were great. Air conditioning with fans. Washer was available to use. Just a notice for potential lookers. I guess you could say we were in the 'suburbs' of Tokyo. Travel is a little longer than usual by train but we adapted well and planned around that. There are stairs up to the main floor. A little narrow, so if you are okay with that, then this is a great place to stay. Just make sure you follow house rules and you will have a great time. I have no real negatives to say.

We had a lovely stay. The Accomodation was really comfortable, the apartment very well equipped and well presented. It had everything you need and it felt like Yume had paid great attention to detail and was really invested in making anyone’s stay comfortable. It felt fresh, clean and very well maintained. It is within very easy walking distance to the station and a 7-Eleven, bakery and restaurants. The neighbourhood has a nice feel to it too. The stairs are steep inside the apartment but that is standard for Japan. The apartment is very spacious by Japanese standards. All in all a very good stay. Thank you.

The Airbnb was wonderful, a good amount of space and all the amenities needed. The host was very friendly and happy to help out with any requests we had and had recommendations for things to do/buy while there. It was perfect for a longer term stay with all necessities nearby and a good yakitori restaurant downstairs

Smaller than expected, but in great location to visit senso ji temple.

Excellent AirBnB for families (our party had 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant) looking for a reasonably accessible location. Nice and cosy apartment exactly as described. Heaters were functional and we were nice and cosy despite the cold weather outside. Bathwater nice and warm. Laundry machine and dryer were a godsend. Kitchen was well equipped though we only used it to make instant noodles and reheat food. Our toddler loved the toys. Sleep was peaceful and the surroundings were not noisy at all. Reasonably accessible to Nishi-shinjuku even with a loaded stroller. There's one convenience store that's incredibly near (probably less than 30 seconds away!), and another down the road too. Letitia (Tia) was an amazing host; responsive, friendly, meticulous, thoughtful and helpful. Check in was a breeze at the agreed-on timing and location for meetup. Overall strongly recommend! Well done Tia! Thank you for having us!

Everything was great during our stay. The only thing is that it is on the fourth floor with no elevators so it is a little hassle when arriving and departing with luggage and there is no iron. Also, It is about 30 minutes from downtown Tokyo so transportation was a little expensive Other than that, a flawless stay and would recommend for small group traveling to Tokyo.

the location was amazing! it had everything we needed from conbinis to restaurants to a dryer. it is not far to walk to the station as well. the place is quite small actually but it fits 2 people. won’t be able to open 2 huge luggages at once though.

Place is easy to access, very nice and comfort beds, spacey easy for 5 people to walking around. Near to station of Skytree and asakutsa, beautiful surrounding... alot of park, and next to sumida rivers... Skytree tower is on the sight, nice view on the night.

Masami was amazing! From the booking process to the stay, she was extremely communicative and responsive. Her guides in the home was thorough and left me feeling confident when navigating appliances in a difference language. The location was also very convenient. I would definitely recommend Masami!

Jang was very responsive. Location was wonderful with shops and restaurants right outside of property.

As mentioned in other reviews it was a very tidy and appropriate airbnb for travels around Shinjuku. The bed was also extremely comfortable

Wonderful stay in Odawara! Train station was extremely close, as well as cool areas to explore like Odawara Castle and Miyuki beach. It’s also a quick train ride to Hakone as well as other areas to see Mount Fuji. The apartment was beautifully decorated and offered many complimentary items for guests. Super quiet too. Loved it!

A comfortable place to stay for a week in tokyo - felt local/removed from the touristy parts of town, but it is pretty easy to get to Shinjuku and Shibuya, given how close it is to Kyodo station. Plenty of room for a family of 4 and easy access to groceries. Would not recommend for people with limited mobility or a lot of luggages since it is a 3rd floor walk up and the stairs are fairly narrow (tight for big suitcases)

It was a beautiful place! It was easy to know how to check in!

We stayed at Toshi's place two years in a row and couldn't be happier. The location is amazing being close to the beach, many cute shops and cafe, the train station and main street of Hase. The place is spotlessly clean and thoughtfully managed with all the amenities you need and more. Toshi is a great host and always responsive, and provided very clear instructions. We felt very welcome and highly recommend staying here!

The apartment was great, the location was great, and Bryan was very flexible with all our needs! Definitely one of the best places to stay in Tokyo. We would definitely recommend his place to a family visiting Tokyo and looking for a comfortable stay!

Hitomi took amazing care of me and my daughter while we were her guests! She sent us a detailed list of recommendations for the neighborhood including kid-friendly highlights. When my daughter needed to go to the doctor, she sent a list of clinics. She also helped me ship some luggage to make my train trip easier. She was an incredible host, always going above and beyond. Thank you Hitomi !

Nice little spot in a great location! We had a blast :)
