Ryokan vacation rentals in Kyoto

Just as lovely and cozy as when we stayed five years ago. This Machiya exudes calm upscale elegance. Beautiful view. Spa like bath area. Spacious and airy. Convenient location and now with a second great cafe right next door!

Logement très sympathique, nous y avons séjourné à 4 sans aucun problème. Il est bien situé, pas très loin de la gare, idéal pour les escapades la journée. Possibilité d’accéder à des konbini à 5/10 minutes de marche. 2 vélos étaient mis à notre disposition si nous le souhaitions. La pièce principale est très grande et très jolie. Le logement est entièrement climatisé, idéal pour les nuits un peu chaudes ou froides. Les 2 chambres étaient très propres et confortables. Assez grand pour ne pas que l’on se marche dessus les un les autres à 4. Le petit bain extérieur quant à lui était une touche très agréable. Il était très facile à préparer et à utiliser. Tout est bien indiqué dans un livre sur la table lors de l’arrivée (pour les climatisations, les fonctionnement de la machine, etc…) Petit bémol, les escaliers sont assez abrupts, presque de l’escalade. N’est donc pas recommandé pour les personnes âgées par exemple. En conclusion, logement propre, joli, spacieux, bien situé.

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.

It was really a japanese style house. We had a pleasent short stay here. Everything was perfect.

We had a great stay in Kyoto at the Gojo Miyabi Inn! Yumi was a wonderful host, she welcomed us and gave us a run down of the home and some helpful local recommendations. Very clean place with a great traditional feel. Comfortable beds, in a quiet neighbourhood, with a 24hr grocery and 711 within a 5 minute walk. Very close to Kyoto station and subway stations, highly central! Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful, historic house in Kyoto. The location was ideal—central yet wonderfully quiet, allowing us to relax while still being close to everything. A friend of the host kindly met us in person and guided us to the house, which was a lovely and much-appreciated touch. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the instructions for check-in and using the amenities were clear and easy to follow. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this unique and peaceful place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Mayumi was very helpful and sweet with the entire process, including answering all the questions I had! Location was perfect with convenience stores nearby, along with great restaurants and a park for the kids. The house was beautiful and just like the pictures. AC in each room was nice and great amenities too! Perfect for large family 11/10 recommend !!

Clear instructions and great amenities, we had a little trouble finding the spot but that was probably more our own fault and being tired

Katsuya's home is absolutely gorgeous. Every detail is so well considered. He has left a biography of the artists whose work is in the house, and a brief history of the renovation as well, which I found fascinating. Nothing is overlooked. A wonderful experience.

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.

Wonderful arcade setting with great shops & restaurants, and easy canal-side walking to Gion and Kiyomizudera. Great public transport at top end of arcade to other parts of the city. Highly recommended!

Appartement spacieux, bien placé, propre et avec un sacré charme, le gros plus sont les vélos à notre disposition! Incroyable, Aki est très sympa Merci

Great communication. Check in was easy. They even helped us ship our luggage at the end of our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had booked longer. Very nice and peaceful location. Train station is about a 20 minute walk or there’s plenty of bus routes they provided information about. The house is really spacious. Definitely worth the money. Will return if I come back to Kyoto!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Kyoto. The location was perfect—nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to train stations and major attractions. The house was spotlessly clean and designed in a charming, traditional Japanese style, which made our stay feel truly authentic. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, even assisting us with restaurant reservations. We absolutely loved the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto!

We had a fantastic stay at this place! We were a family of 4, and it accommodated us perfectly. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The location was ideal for us—close to many things, but in a peaceful part of it. The place is tastefully decorated. Having access to a washing machine with dryer was so helpful! And most of all, our host was so kind, helpful, and friendly! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

非常非常漂亮的日式町屋！就是日本电影里的房子！也很干净！就是隔音不太好，但是非常值得！

het huis is prachtig, vooral de familiekamer is erg de moeite. de badkamer is gemeenschappelijk maar dit gaf nooit problemen. het ontbijt was echt voortreffelijk, het personeel één voor één heel sympathiek. ok wil heel graag terug.

写真通りのとても趣のある宿で素敵でした。共有スペースから見える中庭や玄関に置かれている物や植物、そして金魚にも癒されました。各個室にドライヤーがあるのも良いです。ベープマットがあったおかげで蚊に刺されず快適に過ごせました。 立地は西陣の観光に行きやすい位置で、飲食店にも行きやすいところなのでとてもおすすめします。近場にあるカフェさらささんの古さと新しさが混じる雰囲気がとても良いです。 あと朝食がとても美味しかったです！ 朝食を作られているスタッフさんがとてもパワフルで素敵でした。次はそのスタッフさんにおすすめされた、鯉家さんにも行きたいと思います。

Staying at this AIRBNB was an amazing experience. The host was on top of everything, and was so nice. 👍 I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an escape from the city. The surroundings were breathtaking.

Chieri en haar moeder en hun schattige hond zijn hele lieve hosts die er alles aan doen om je verblijf een echte authentieke Japanse ervaring te laten zijn. Hun huis is prachtig ingericht, ruim en voelt heel fijn en gastvrij. Het café en de biertuin van Chieri zijn ook zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Het eten en drinken en het gratis Japanse ontbijt waren heerlijk. En als je nog authentieke Japanse souvenirs zoekt zijn die hier ook te vinden. Al met al een perfecte plek om even tot rust te komen na het bezoeken van de drukke steden als Kyoto en Osaka.
