Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Honshu

A wonderful stay surrounded by gardens. Hosts were extremely welcoming and responsive. Great place in the mountains!

Perfect location ,clean & comfortable

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the best host experiences we've had in Japan! Our host went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable-always doing her best to communicate and make us feel at home. She even kept us updated on the weather and helped arrange taxis, which made everything so much easier. And don't even get me started on the location-Shimoda, along with this home, is an absolute hidden gem. Peaceful, charming, and unforgettable. We're already looking forward to coming back and booking again!

Thank you Yumiko, Kitamura! Their white house is particularly beautiful, and the sea can be seen from the window, which always amazes me every time I look out the window. They cleaned the room spotlessly, and the house smelled faintly of essential oil, which I felt very comfortable. They are friendly and will pick me up at the bus station.Very careful when introducing the house, really appreciate it! Because this is a house on the hillside, it is far from restaurants and convenience stores, it is recommended that guests bring their own ingredients to cook ~ This is also a good experience! I'll come back next time (* ^ ^ *)

We stayed here for two nights and we only wish we've stayed longer and have spent more time exploring Kameoka while we were there. This house has a beautiful layout and structure that provided us so much serenity and the opportunity to appreciate the nature in surroundings. At the same time, Christian Is the warmest host we could ask for, being a dad of three kids with the youngest at 2, he came to pick us up on both evenings (the second day was actually quite late at night), helped us arrange the amazing experience of making and tasting soba with a sensai from the area, and made us delicious breakfast in the mornings.. We'd definitely love to come back and explore more of the area with Christian and recommend It to anyone who would like to experience the countryside life with easy access to the city!

There were a number of relaxing spaces, and I had a great time. The view from the large window is beautiful, elegant, and I don't get bored. It was great to have my phone, listen to the sounds, and spend time reading a book.😌

Super clean and modern house with an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji. Has all the amenities you would need for your stay. Highly recommend!

We had a little trouble getting there by train…but as soon as we arrived, our worries disappeared. We were greeted by Miwa's mother who was immediately very kind and inviting. She gave us a tour of the accommodation with explanations. She only speaks a little English, but she used her phone to translate for us, which was very much appreciated. For the remainder of the stay, she was always available to answer any questions we may have. We also did business with her for the rental of electric bicycles, a very pleasant activity. On our last night, Miwa's mom even came to offer us a homemade dessert. The accommodation itself is a traditional house that is too cute and very spacious. In short, great experience, we loved it. ❤️

Really spacious apartment in harajuku. Right next to everything but still quiet. Had a hairdryer and laundry in apt (washer/dryer). Would stay here again. Recommended

Nice cozy apartment above a tatami shop! Would have loved to organise for a tour which they offer but our itinerary was already too packed! Very clean surroundings and plenty of amenities to use, even had umbrellas to use during one of the days when it rained. There is parking right in front of the apartment for free which is also very convenient. Very walkable to the closest subway station and has 2 family marts close by too! Overall would recommend!

I’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the Kawaguchiko area. The place was all great and the location wonderful too. The host was absolutely lovely and picked us up from the station as well as letting us ride bikes around the area. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if the opportunity arises!

This small house is a unique experience. Sitting on the balcony in front of the creek is very comfortable and delicious. Sleeping at the tatame house was very special. The kitchen is small I recommend only for small meals. The house is fresh and the bathroom and showers are well equipped. Thank you .

Gimmicky. I want to get that out of the way right now. This property is capitalizing off of having an onsen nearby with traditional looking Japanese bedding and decor. That's what got me, and it might be what's getting you...I would say that's probably not worth it. The place itself is fine. The bedding is fine, but in the end I chose this place over other cheaper options for the novelty, I feel I could have gotten a little bit better value elsewhere, but still overall happy with what I got and what I paid. I used the onsen once during my two week stay. I really like onsens, but this one is small, busy, and I just wasn't a fan. Service was awesome. He spoke great English, and helped me bring my heavy luggage up the stairs to my room. Overall, despite starting out critical here, this place is really nice and I like the quiet area next to nice walking paths. Lastly, I wish the place had a small dining table and chairs. You basically have to eat at a small low table on the floor.

5 stars all round, authentic restaraunts walking distance from the apartment, spacious place, parking on the ground floor, walk to the museums, castle, temple, shopping arcade. Enjoy a good meal, drink sake and walk home. Good washing machine. I would like to have had darker curtains to keep the morning light out, that would make it 6 stars. I recommend staying here, thankyou Mineo.

I would recommend this place and would stay here again if I have the chance. Harumi was very responsive and met me in person for check-in. She has taken care of everything and the place was very nice and clean and the view of the river is amazing!

Muneo-san exceeded our expectations of a host and we were extremely pleased with our time spent here in Osaka. The location has abundant food and drinks options within walking distance, plenty of convenient stores, easy access to public transit (and therefore, Dotonbori), and is incredibly close to Osaka Castle. The space itself was perfect for rest after enjoying the city as it was spacious, spotless, and outfitted with comfortable furniture and modern amenities. We loved our time here and without a doubt, would come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Osaka!

Lovely place. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Host was flexible with my check in time as I wasn’t sure what time I arrived til I got on the train. As it was raining on the day I left, host was kind enough to offer to drive me to train station as well as work out the train timetable for me. I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier experience.

Summer is great! The location was perfect for shopping and fun restaurants. It was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable. I actually felt. very lucky to find a place where we were so close to so much. Highly recommend 💞

Very convenient location and easy check in

We had a very plaesant stay in this hotel. Bedding is impeccable, very comfortable and spacious. The shower has some electronic equipment like heating. A little balcony is available. The place is very lovely and we can only recommend to have a star there!

The stay is very comfortable, the surroundings are very convenient, and it is not far from the subway station

We had a lovely stay at Shunki’s place! Everything was clean and spacious with easy check in and out instructions. The location was convenient to the train station and we had multiple convenient stores and shops for our every day needs. We were welcomed with a box of treats when we arrived and it was super sweet! Highly recommend :)

The host was such a kind and nice one! Thanks for letting us relax at your lovely guesthouse

We had a wonderful time at the Villa Kamakura. Toshi is really the perfect host. Even before arrival, we were provided with plenty of useful information, including many tips about the surroundings, we have rarely experienced such great service. And the apartment itself was also just great and very well located. There was nothing missing, you had a great view, the bed was very comfortable. We will be happy to come back! :)
