Vacation rentals with a patio in Lake Biwa

The stay was great, check in and out was pretty straightforward, Location was near the station, was clean and spacious especially if you have large luggage.

Ai's place is a great place with a traditional Japanese vibe but has modern facilities. Even though, we checked in very late at night, around 23.00, she was really helpful in guiding us to her place and showing us around. With one double bed and 2 futons, it was more than enough for my wife, my 8 year old son, 18 year old daughter and myself. The place was clean, separated bathroom and toilet, very good water pressure and hot water, it was a temperature controlled shower, so the hot water was very stable. Not to forget the famous Japanese bidet, very easy to use, very convenient. The washing machine was not available when we were there, but amazingly, Ai offered laundry service with NO charge! What a great gesture. Another amazing thing is, the check out was supposed to be at 11.00, but Ai let us have a late check out until 13.00 with NO charge! Most Japanese Airbnb even charge by the minute for late check outs. What an amazing, thoughtful, & kind person Ai is! Thank you so much Ai!!!

Asaki was very helpful and friendly. The place was bigger than we thought and very nice. The location is convenient to go to Osaka or Kyoto. One thing to note is that there wasn’t many good restaurants nearby so we would just take the train to the next town :)

This place is absolutely lovely, had a refrigerator which is amazing to store morning coffees (I love the 7/11 coffees) but also supplied tea and coffee with a kettle if needed. Natalie was so great for check in even though I ended up being super late because of trouble figuring out transport. There is a large hill to get up, but it's not too much of an issue as it's small. It's right near Hirakatashi station which has so many connections and the Keihan line which will get you everywhere. I had a few issues with the wifi in my room, but it was fine outside of my room so I just ended up working downstairs. Also had very easy checkout which was wonderful

Very close the station and clean. We had enough room.

First of all, I've been to Kyoto more than 10 times. This time, I attended the Kyoto Trail Marathon. I was the only Korean. I was looking for a place to stay close to the competition venue. Junko accommodation is a traditional house in Kyoto that is very old, and it is also a large accommodation. Junko's place is in my favorite location ~ In particular, it was nice to be able to cook in the accommodation. Buy beef fish from a large grocery store at a nearby Google Map. It's really good quality and the price is really cheap beyond my imagination. Also, there is a traditional gagok lesson in the morning, and the sound of the alarm was so refreshing and nice. And I lost my money during the competition I asked Junko. If you want to travel alone, you can fall in love with Airbnb rather than a hotel and take it all for 100 percent.🇰🇷🙏🙇🏼

The room was larger than I expected, full of amenities, and was very popular with my companions.Especially the towels in the amenities were fluffy and the water absorption was good, which was appreciated.A car is recommended because it is a 10-minute walk from the station.There are restaurants nearby, but it is a bit of a walk.

Had an amazing stay at the Osaka English House! All the staff and volunteers were amazing, very friendly and helpful during my stay. Friendly community and fun events to join in on. Room and all amenities were as described. Great location to travel into Osaka, Kyoto and surrounding cities. Highly recommended!!

A perfect spot for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We made a small mistake and forgot to return the key when checking out, so we ended up leaving it at Kyoto Station. Bella was very understanding and went out of her way to pick it up, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a wonderful stay in a serene location—highly recommend it if you're seeking calm and relaxation!

Very comfortable stay in the house and the host, Sayuri, was very welcoming. Thank you for having us.

The accommodation is large enough for small groups and there are good restaurants nearby. Host is very kind and responsive. There are instructions all over the house which greatly simplifies the use of the amenities available. Enjoyed our stay and recommend this place.

Great location, right near Kiyomizu Temple, about 15 minutes to the subway station, 5 minutes to the bus stop, the room is very clean, very distinctive, the host's wife is very friendly, very easy to communicate with

My 78 year old mom and a family of 9 came back from a great day. The stairs were hard for my mom, so we stayed with us on the first floor and went up before going to sleep. It's a very spacious house for 9 people. It was spacious, but there were a lot of heaters here and there, so I stayed warm. It's a pity that we arrived late and couldn't use various facilities. Also, I was surprised that the kitchen was so spacious. Thank you so much for your kind response and guidance.

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.

The place was even more beautiful than the pictures showed! Plenty of space to interact as well as privacy for sleeping. Incredible location in a wonderful neighborhood with amazing restaurants and cafes, and just a short walk to the National Gardens and other wonderful sights! The hosts were amazing and communicative. We were greeted with a matcha ceremony and had every need met. 10/10! Would recommend to anyone and hope to stay again!!

Our stay in Kyoto was absolutely incredible, and a big part of that was thanks to Saki and her beautiful home. The house is spectacular—spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated, and perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood while still being close to public transport and great local spots. Saki was a fantastic host—kind, responsive, and thoughtful. She provided clear instructions, local recommendations, and even small touches in the house that made us feel genuinely welcomed. Waking up in such a peaceful space and returning to it after long days of exploring Kyoto was truly a gift. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Saki, for everything!
