Villa vacation rentals in Kyoto

Had a great stay here! Everything was clean and nice. Bathroom was great. If you're tall, just watch your head so you don't hit it on the low door frames

We had a wonderful stay at this spacious house, perfect for our group of 5 adults and 1 baby. My husband and I chose the tatami-style room to sleep with our baby, and it was a cozy and special experience. The house is located near the lakeside and close to the train tracks, a bit of a distance from town, but that wasn’t an issue for us as we had rented a car. We also made good use of the kitchen and even enjoyed a late-night supper together. Everything was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience, and we truly enjoyed our stay here!

The place is as described in a quiet neighborhood, good for walking around to appreciate the beautiful flowers in front of some houses. There are grocery stores within ~20 mins walk downhill to a main street of the area. It was very helpful to have a pick up and drop off to the subway station services by the owner.

I love the feeling of being in a residential area ~ Children love running up and down the stairs ~ Clean and hygienic!It's close to Kyoto station and convenient!Cross the main road and you will reach Yongwang~ The Host responds promptly whenever there is a problem!I'd like to stay again next time I come to Kyoto ~

Great stay!!! They even came and helped us fix the washing machine when we had some difficulty with it. Would recommend!

Definitely one of the best places for a large group to stay in a local area in Kyoto. For the surprising space and number of rooms in the house, it still feels very cozy. Lots of AC so you won’t melt in the city’s summer heat and humidity, and very well equipped with amenities. As for the location, it’s calm local with good restaurants and cute shops. Then, the bus stop about a block away around the corner will get you to the city’s main areas very easily. Some things to note are that we found the laundry machine a little bit finicky to operate, and takes a substantial amount of time to run fuller loads, so don’t try to do laundry for 6 people at once. I’m sure the host knows the secrets of how to operate it if you ask though. Also, know that noise carries decently well inside, so you can’t have a party downstairs while people sleep upstairs. Overall one of if not the best places to stay in Kyoto for a local experience, highly recommend and would 100% stay again.

Very convenient location in the Arashiyama neighborhood. Only a 6 minute walk to shops, the bamboo forest, or the larger neighborhood train station. There is a smaller train track right behind the house, and we were worried about noise, but it turns out those trains don't run at night. Very responsive owners/ management- it was a great stay.

Great accommodation away from the city. We arrived with a rental car, and there was a parking spot right at the doorstep. Everything was clean. Ideal for relaxing taking in the beautiful surroundings. We hope to come back! :)

Very pretty, quiet and comfy place to stay in. The hosts are extremely friendly and responsive. There's also washing machine which is a plus point for our stay. We would definitely come back here again if we were to travel to kyoto!

This was a beautiful, peaceful home and super close to a subway station. I will recommend this to any friends who might go to Kyoto.

Stayed here with our family of 5. Lots of sleeping options. Two great showers. Laundry. Cute shops, craft bars, restaurants, and beautifully built shrines. Lots of outdoor beauty too.

Great traditional Japanese house in a quiet neighborhood in Kyoto. Amazing location, only 7 minutes from the train station and only 1 stop away from Kyoto. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice home in a quiet part of Kyoto!

Very nice apartment with a beautiful temple right next door, metro and bus station very close and a very good restaurant nearby. Thanks for staying.

Transportation is not very convenient, there is no subway nearby, it takes more than ten minutes to walk, but there is a bus stop at the door.The room is relatively large, the two floors add up to about 80 square meters.The bathroom is large and the bathtub is clean.Refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, electric stove, air conditioner can be used.There are a lot of comics to read.Overall, it's still very good.

Very responsible host. huge area and cute neighborhood !

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful 3-story Japanese-style house. It’s incredibly clean, well-maintained, and full of Kyoto charm. The layout is spacious yet cozy—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location is excellent: just a 5-minute walk to Gojo Station on the Keihan Line, and there’s a 7-Eleven right outside the door, which made everything super convenient—from grabbing a quick snack to withdrawing cash. Shan is a superhost in every sense. She gave us a warm welcome with plenty of water, drinks, snacks, and even instant noodles! Her responses were always quick and helpful—we felt really well cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto. Great home, great location, and a truly wonderful host. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a large, beautiful house with modern furnishings. There is a deck that overlooks the river, and you can see hawks, herons, ducks, turtles, and more. There is a popular restaurant right next door, so it can be noisy especially if you are on the terrace at night. It didn't bother us, and they closed early enough for us to get to sleep easily.

This was great for our family of 4 trip (with two kids ages 8 and 11). The location can’t be beat, the Yasaka shrine is right around the corner and tons of amazing restaurants in walking distance. There is a grocery store just a couple of blocks away, so we got some breakfast food, snacks and drinks there. The rooms are very quiet and beds are very comfortable (heated floors were an extra bonus). The bathrooms are very nice as well. This was a very zen place with a traditional feel and modern amenities. Great find!

The house is beautiful and new. It has very good facilities. Very good for a group of people to stay. The host is also good and responsive. Overall a great deal!

Great place, plenty of room for sleeping and bathrooms. Great location, easy to get on the LUUP bikes and ride around.

Zhang was super friendly and helpful. The house is at the beautiful and quiet place, which helped us experience local lifestyle.

The host was so kind and so thoughtful and very accommodating. The home was beyond beautiful. It was a perfect place to stay and enjoy your vacation.

It was like a step back in time, truly MAJESTIC place to stay if you want to feel immersed in Kyoto. 10/10 will be staying again whenever I'm in this part of Japan. Thank you so much!!! <3 <3

If you're seeking an authentic Kyoto experience, this 110yo house is a must-visit. It offers a unique and charming atmosphere in the beautiful countryside of Miyama. Built during the Showa era, the house has survived significant historical events. Taru and Tina warmly welcomed us and shared fascinating stories about the home. The traditional garden view and the lovingly curated interiors make it feel like a living museum. The bathroom, featuring both indoor and outdoor hot springs, was a highlight, providing a luxurious bathing experience. In the evening, we enjoyed homemade aperitifs and Hokkaido octopus sashimi, followed by sukiyaki cooked in a vintage iron pot with local ingredients. Breakfast overlooking the garden was delightful, and we even spotted cherry blossoms nearby. The peaceful surroundings allowed us to fully relax and appreciate the beauty. For a truly luxurious experience, stay in this historic gem when you visit Kyoto!
