Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Biwa

It was a very nice accommodation and we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. Thank you very much for your kindness in responding to forgotten items.We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.Thank you very much.

It was nice to have a very beautiful room! Thank you for your help and for delivering the items I left behind.

The host and the house are awesome!The host's wife is very nice, very attentive and patient in communication and guidance before and after check-in, and very caring about us!They also came to the station on the day of check-in to pick us up and take us to the house, introducing us to the surroundings and amenities all the way.Although the residence may be a little far from popular attractions, the house is great!I believe everyone feels it's worth it the moment they enter the door!Two days are not enough to experience the goodness of this home and the style of Osaka. I hope to have the opportunity to return to this home in the future!

The place is great. Very clean in the house, very peaceful in the surroundings. The host is very kind. He also has a cafe next door, and the coffee is supreme too.

It was a great stay with no inconvenience, with facilities and equipment that were as good as or better than the photos! Even if there was a malfunction with the equipment, they responded and handled it immediately. A place where just being there is a journey, even if you don't do anything.I will definitely be back!!! Thank you very much!

Awesome place for a larger group or a family wanting to see the surrounding areas. We were a group of 7 and had an awesome time. Can only recommend! Thank you very much!

It was a great facility!Again, please.

We had a great time! Beautiful spot and house and welcoming host. We rented a car and managed to see Kyoto, Nara and Osaka from here plus the sea to the north. It is also very close to a dam with a spa in it (although we didn't manage to see this in our short stay). Was a great Honeymoon!

Everything was perfect!! Clean, confortable , room was big, kind people!! 10/10

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. It was in a great location and we were able to get to everything fairly easily. The space was small, and there is not space for oversized luggage. We carefully laid them on the bathroom floor near the windows and that still gave us enough space to move about. The rest of the flooring is tatami mats so you need to be very carefulnot to roll luggage on it. You also have to walk up a narrow stepped staircase for 3 floors to make it to the room so please keep that in mind. It had beautiful traditional japanese touches that made it stand out. The open air bath was a lovely feature and I especially enjoyed that. It also has a door for privacy. My husband and I did notice that it is not possible to fill the bathtub while the shower was on, so I would suggest filling the bathtub before you shower. Keep these things in mind when you are deciding if it's right for you. Overall, it was lovely and the japanese beds helped our bodies recover from each day of walking.

We had a pleasant stay in Kyoto. The place was photo compliant, clean and in a good location. The instruction to retrieve the keys deserves to be clarified (it was indicated to turn one way, when we had to do the opposite), but fortunately, a very nice person at the reception helped us. After we left, I thought I had left an item in the apartment: the host was very responsive and helped me quickly, which I enjoyed very much. Thank you again!

Affordable and sufficient, the accommodation was minimalistic but still had everything we needed during our stay. Great for shorter stays. The host replied instantly every time which was helpful.

Our stay was fantastic! The apartment is in a great location — super convenient with lots of excellent restaurants and local spots just a short walk away. It had everything we could possibly need and made us feel right at home. The area is vibrant during the day and calm at night. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely stay here again!

Tatsuya was a great host and even gave us a ride to and from the station.

A great spot in Osaka! I was only here for one night but the space would be great for someone staying long term. Host lives/works in the building so he can help with luggage if you get in early or have any issues. Stocked kitchen and large fridge and amenities! Great value!

Keiko’s place is a perfect spot to truly experience everything that Kyoto has to offer. The location is incredibly central, next door to the Nishiki Market as well as major transportation hubs. The guesthouse feels Japanese when you first walk in, with shoes off and sliding doors. Just keep in mind that the rooms are on the fourth floor with no elevators, but if you can manage the stairs during your stay you’ll have a great time. Definitely recommend!

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

The place is very clean, neat and tidy. Has really good quality amenities including an espresso machine, a dryer room. It's very easy to find as it appears on the map directly when you put House Nozomi Hayashi San is very responsive and looked into one of our concerns immediately. It's near a bus stop with multiple buses going into the town. Katsuragawa station is about 1.5 KM, so bit of a walk when you have luggage or are tired. But we got cabs fairly easily. Do your research on places you want to travel to in Kyoto so you can see if the location works for you. In terms of convenience, lots of shops, supermarkets etc are available. It feels spacious. It would have been better to have access to the wardrobe, but we had a short stay so we did not mind living out of our suitcases. Overall good place, good amenities, location is good but that's subjective. Good, professional host.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

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

The location is great. The house is clean and the common area is very nice.
