Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ 3rd floor/ Wood bath
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

Great location in a quite neighborhood. The hosts provided us a stroller which helped us a lot and the apartment was really clean and comfortable. Recommended!

Room 301 with a view of the Kamo River
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!

This is one of the best host I have ever had. Thank you Sumi for your help with our stay in Kioto! The flat was perfect for us, couple, spacious and equipped, in interesting area. Additional plus for terrace with a view on city. Sumi recommend us some places where we could find local specialities. She also drop us off us to station. Full recommendation!

Convenient stand to Gion, Kiyomizu Temple, 5 minutes by tram to Fushimi Inari! Cocoon201
Lovely apartment, well located - central, but not in an area that was too busy. Convenient for station but also near restaurants, temples and shrines while being in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend!

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

[Barrel sauna available (for a fee)] Renovated old house with a warehouse and large garden, one building rental/up to 8 people/tent sauna/BBQ available
They always responded politely, which was very helpful during my stay. The facilities were clean and easy to use, and insect control was done in advance, so there was no particular trouble.The scenery was beautiful and overall it was very, very good.

Biwa Lake , the whole building for rent
A warm and sweet house. You can take a good rest and enjoy the surrounding area.

[Midorikawatei Casa Verde] 15-minute walk to Kyoto Station/11-minute walk to Kuju Station/1 minute to Kamogawa/High-speed WIFI
Nice place overall, cant think of any negatives honestly, especially for the price.

遥華~house /Central area for couple /西院駅5分
this was THE BEST air bnb we ever stayed in. she was so thoughtful. not only did she give local recommendations, but also even left bandages, and shower towels, hair caps and all sorts of items just in case we needed them. she was so so kind and so lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone else. if I'm back in Kyoto I would love to stay here again

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

Sanjo Keihan st/A whole house/Gion
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!
