Family-friendly vacation rentals in Honshu

Convenient location, super near Takayama Station and walkable to Miyagawa morning market and Sanmachi Sugi. House was very clean and had everything we needed (lots of towels, toiletries, parking space, washing machine, drying racks). Very comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Wouw it couldn't be any better!! masa is such a nice guy and very welcoming! upon arriving we felt welcome, he explained everything and went his way. he had answers for every question we had and helped us to the best of his ability. upon arriving we gave him some Dutch gifts ( fridge magnet of a wooden shoe with tulips and a pack of stroopwafels) this shook him but he accepted it with a smile from ear to ear! the accommodation was clean and well taken care of, plenty of room for 2 people and really close to Ebara-machi station, which we used the most to get around. friendly people around Ota and the 7-11 around the corner is also very helpful! next time we are planning to stay longer! Domo arigato gozaimasu masa-san!

Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

Really amazing house and well thought out design and interior. Very peaceful with a great kitchen, utensils and everything you can think of. Even kitchen knives were high quality Henckels and not cheap ones like you would expect to see in an AirBnB. Very private and pristine surroundings and very close to everything in Nasu with a good supermarket nearby. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Such a great find! The flat is stunning and looks exactly as described, spacious and very nicely designed and decorated. The area is also very vibrant, loads of restaurant and the host kindly provide a long list of places to go

I honestly don’t know where to begin. Staying in Keiko’s home was truly one of the greatest honors of our time in Japan—it was a highlight of the entire trip. From the moment we walked through her door, we were immersed in Japanese culture. Keiko greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel immediately at home. She patiently guided us through everything, showing us how to use her space with care and respect. Her home is a reflection of her spirit—graceful, serene, and full of beauty. I was deeply moved and inspired by her presence and generosity. Being invited to take part in her traditional Japanese tea ceremony was an experience I will never forget. She took the time to teach us the rituals and meaning behind each step, explaining everything with such clarity and heart. She dressed us in beautiful kimonos, carefully helping us put them on the correct way. Drinking matcha that was pure and fresh—words fail me. It was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Truly unforgettable. The

A wonderful stay from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Really nothing else to say except of you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, book it!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Hana’s machiya, it was a highlight of our trip. It was much more comfortable than staying in a hotel and we got the experience of living in an authentic Japanese style home. The house is beautiful, tastefully furnished, well-equipped, extremely clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed our morning coffee and tea with a view of the lovely Japanese garden. The hosts were extremely responsive and thoughtful. We would love to come back and stay there again.

Kan is an incredible host and his place is lovely. The tiny home is filled with architectural details that create a beautiful and comfortable space. We were so grateful to Kan for making his tiny home a special place for us to spend our last leg of our honeymoon. The apartment is nestled in a quiet, residential neighborhood, which is ideal for taking a break from busy Tokyo. You’re near major transit lines and convenience stores, as well as a lovely park. Kan shared fantastic recommendations for breakfast and lunch nearby — and he was very accommodating to make our check in and out as seamless as possible. I’d happily return!

I stayed with 4 adults and 1 infant.Very clean and very satisfied.In particular, the owner accepted our selfishness... and we were very grateful. I would like to ask you again🙇

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

We loved our stay at Yamano’s place. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, but it was just a short walk to the river, bus stop, and train station. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind. They met us at check in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They also sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area.

The ryokan is beautiful, typically Japanese and suitable for our trip with the large family. We admired the beautiful sliding doors, the typical floor, the large French doors and especially the incredibly wonderful Japanese garden every day.

Good place , near Haneda , on JY and JK Line by Chidorico train . Chieko was really Nice sadly I dont get Time to meet :( .

beautiful traditional home thar really gave the authentic experience. located in a great area, very close to subway train stop and lots to see and do within walking distance. would highly recommend

The accommodation completely matched our expectations. Traditional Japanese villa with a charming garden. Very kind hosts. Strongly recommendable!

It was a trip with my mom to Ulleungdo, but if you're looking for a good value, there's no accommodation like this! The accommodation is just right and pleasant and a good place to stay. I can't compare the condition with a property that costs more than 300,000 won per night, but it was nice to be able to stay in a village with cats in the yard and a local feel. And I arrived at Ulleungdo by boat in the morning and was very tired and wanted to wash, but the host was considerate and I was able to check in early and I was so grateful.

The sauna, water bath, and natural hot spring were all pleasant to use!The description of the facility was also easy to understand, and we had a comfortable stay.

We had a very pleasant time! We enjoyed the pool and barbecue, and we'd love to have the ocean nearby!

Rodalyn went above and beyond with clear and quick communication. She was very kind to us and it was a pleasure. One Oasis is a great location to be in Davao. Close to malls and safe.

Amazing Airbnb with pool and sauna. Super private and quiet area. Beautiful typical Japanese interior with a luxury touch. The host is very friendly and communication was easy. We would love to come visit again.

We very much enjoyed our stay here ! The house is very large with 4 bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, bath tubs both indoors and outdoors and everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It is located in a peaceful forest area away from the crowds. If you have a dog, there are also plenty of facilities for your pet. Very easy to get from the house to Lake Kawaguchi and Chureito Pegoda, the 7 seas of Oshino, many temples, gardens, museums and also the F1 racetrack. If you have a car, this home is a perfect base to get everywhere. We really felt at home and enjoyed that everyone had their own bedroom with comfortable beds.

The sauna and pool were great. I received a new onion, cooked it and ate it.It was delicious. No complaints!

Don’t be put off by the rules- be respectful and this is a great stay. Nice and quiet and close to many food places and stations. The host is very helpful and responsive and even offered to make a restaurant reservation for us. We loved our stay!
