ReginaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful little inn apartments next to the river. Convenient to get around by foot train bus and bicycle. We were able to eat in and cook a little with the condiments provided. Have to be very quiet during early hours when we were still adjusting to time change. Beautiful mesh of new and traditional in unit. Thank you for having us

It was a great stay! Beautiful view from the window, but it is obstructed by an electric pole. A bit dark to go up our room during night time, but it was safe!

River View Near Kyoto Sta. / Wood bath/ 4th Floor

ElisabethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The Airbnb is lovely and just as described (if not better). Clean, modern, loved the bath tub, and the beds (both the western style and the futon in the tatami room were comfortable). The location is very convenient and the surrounding neighborhood is a gem. The hosts were very helpful. I couldn't have asked for better home for our family vacation

IROHA STAY Kyoto Rei | Riverside Family Retreat

JamieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was very cute, clean and a great space for our family. We loved the balcony overlooking the stream; it was a beautiful space to sit and drink coffee/relax. The surrounding area was close to restaurants and shops. It was a little difficult to find at first because taxis cannot drive to the front door and you will have to walk through a small street or along the stream to locate the front door. However, once we found the front door everything went smoothly. We would highly recommended this place to a small family!

[Entire house for rent, up to 20 people] Kyoto Miyamashikitei, a riverside rental villa where you can enjoy the Japanese countryside

AisyahRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Pro - Its a very good place. The kitchen cutlery is complete. The scenery is amazing. Clean and wifi is good. Definitely come again! Cons - bathroom only 1. So takes a lot of time. The view is great but the location is far from town. Need to travel 40mins just to reach town. So waste time there.

We had a wonderful time here. The house was spacious, clean, and had a view of the river with Sakura trees. It was in Gion with a number of restaurants, train stations, and other stores in walkable distance. I hope to stay here again next time my family comes to Kyoto!
