Ryokan vacation rentals in Tōkai Region

This house is located in a fantastic location, only a 6 min walk from the nearest station. Shiho, the host, was very accommodating. She greeted us as we arrived and gave a house tour. She also asked how we were going and made sure everyone was okay, something that is rarely done for Airbnb hosts. Everything in the house was clean and organised, the beds and futons were comfortable, and overall we had a great time staying at this place.

The place was greasy to stay in. Everything we needed was provided. Instructions were clear. The stairs were tricky to navigate. Maya’s communication was great and she was lovely to communicate with.

Very warm and helpful household (luggage room option). Good location (quiet and few minutes to Kyoto Station). Rooms very clean, spacious and cosy; beds very comfortable. Everything as described. I highly recommend it!

We loved our stay— peaceful place within walking distance to great restaurants, wonderful breakfast and top notch hospitality. Some of the best sleep I got on my trip, even sleeping on mats on the floor. Highly recommended!

Miwa’s place was a beautiful way to experience a traditional Japanese home in the beautiful Kiso valley. Her parents who live close by were extremely helpful and so kind & welcoming to us during our stay. It was a perfect choice. Thank you!

Yoko is an amazing host, kind, helpful and responsive. The place is amazing and definitely an unique gem

Close the train station, clean house, it let us happen family trip.

Great spot in Kyoto that is within walking distance to some nice cafes, restaurants, and sights to see. There is also lots of busses that make getting to the busy parts of town quite easy and accessible. Masahiro was very responsive and friendly. Thanks for a great stay!

This was a great place to stay and access different parts of Kyoto. Access to trains and buses was good. The person who did the check in was great. The space was well designed and decorated.

Great stay, lovely traditional house in an authentic Japanese neighbourhood, far from the crowds. Highly recommend.

We had a great time in Kyoto, and enjoyed our stay at this house. Host was very friendly and responsive. The house itself was very clean and well taken care of. Its close location to the train station made travel easy, and local food spots were within walking distance. I would recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area.

Very nice place with clean and hot tub including place! Drinks, gifts, and quick communications are great to feel welcome at place.

We loved our stay in this Airbnb! So perfectly located in the center of all we wanted to see. Walkable distance to many things or cheap taxi ride. The wash room was so cute! We just loved the wallpaper and that it had a nice shower and bath. Every night I walked to the local onsen alone late at night and felt totally safe. Restaurants close by were delicious. I highly recommend the ramen shop on the same street. The sleeping mats were very comfortable and the home quite warm and shower as well. We really appreciated the guide books which we used to find the best spots for cherry blossoms. Thank you so much for easy instructions and a comfortable stay! We would love to return again.

The place was very cosy and aesthetic. It was very easy to get to and located in a quiet area

A delightful, charming building within easy reach of trains, buses and restaurants. Located centrally to the top tourist destinations made it easy to travel in any direction and have an enjoyable day and was quiet enough to be away from the really busy tourist areas. We loved our stay and would definietly recommend to friends. Thank you!

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.

Yuta's house was wonderful - a refurbished old classical Nara home. our room was spacious and with private sitting room, bathroom and dining area. Yuta also prepared delicious Japanese breakfasts.

In a quiet Japanese homestay in a residential area.The courtyard is really very, very nice, the reception is convenient, I stayed in the single room on the first floor, other guests kept quiet at night, the owner of the inn was very friendly, it was a very good experience.

Unforgettable stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, and we were also extremely well received by a thoughtful team. Without a doubt the high light of our trip to Kyoto. Thank you again.

Our stay at Yamashita’s beautiful 100-year-old Japanese villa in Kyoto was the perfect way to end our 2 week vacation in Japan. The house is spacious, very clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our group of 12. It has everything you need and more. It has a serene garden, jacuzzi, and sauna—the kids especially loved the jacuzzi! Yamashita is an EXCEPTIONAL host—very warm, helpful, and accommodating. She drove us to supermarkets and places we wanted to go and even picked us up for a small fee. She prepared simple yet delicious breakfasts. She was quick to respond to messages and even guided us on using local buses. Though the house is a bit far from the touristy areas, the peace and quiet of Yamashita’s home made it the perfect retreat. It offered a more authentic and relaxing experience of Japan. I highly recommend Yamashita’s villa to anyone looking for comfort, culture, and outstanding hospitality. And to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay in a traditional Japanese home.

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 had an unforgettable stay at this serene retreat. Our host, Miko, was exceptionally warm and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. During our visit, we had the unique opportunity to experience a kaiseki-french fusion dinner prepared by a newly appointed chef. Each course was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef’s creativity and attention to detail. The tranquil gardens surrounding the property added to the zen-like ambiance, providing a perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. This stay was a harmonious blend of culinary excellence and peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic and rejuvenating experience.

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!

We loved our stay at KuraKura! It’s a huge traditional house with beautiful, spacious rooms. There were just 2 of us but could easily accommodate a large group. We especially enjoyed the kotatsu with a view of the garden; the big kitchen with lots of equipment; and the wooden tables on the tatami. We walked up to Yoshinoyama one day, it’s quite far but possible! We also explored the local neighbourhood, with its lovely waterfalls and shrines. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. They helped with our luggage and drove us to the train station. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!
