Family-friendly vacation rentals in Osaka Bay

The house was lovely and we enjoyed staying surrounded by locals. Our host communicated with me as needed and we were very happy with every aspect.

Ohara allowed me to stay in his beautiful home and was a wonderful host. Very friendly and the home was very close to the station and multiple stores.

Great location! Nishiki market was a 2 minute walk. Family mart was just around the corner. Everything was close and convenient. We love the free refreshments and some nice gifts when we arrived. We love it so much we’re already planning my next trip. LOL

The house offers an authentic experience of a traditional Japanese home. Spacious, has spaces for guest room, living room, kitchen, bedroom, storage, dressing and a cute little backyard. Loved the bathroom amenities and enjoyed the bathing tub. The hosts were very kind and waited for us to arrive. They welcomed us in and walked us through all the amenities and operations in the house. They also showed us bus routes to all the popular Kyoto spots laid out on a map. They even provided a bike for our grocery runs etc. Everything we ended up needing was in the house, like umbrellas, full-length mirror, extra stools, washer-dryer. The backyard is smoking-friendly. Overall, very happy that we decided to stay at this property.

A very comfortable and quiet area, conveniently close to Kyoto Station. If you don’t have too much luggage, it’s just a 15-minute walk—or one stop by train. Great value for money, very cozy. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at this Kyoto Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was incredibly convenient—close to both train and bus stations, which made getting around Kyoto really easy. Our host was responsive and thoughtful, with clear instructions and helpful local tips. The quiet neighbourhood made it a perfect place to unwind after a busy day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto—we’d love to stay here again next time!

Everything was perfect! Smooth communication, clear and easy to understand. Everything what you need for a comfortable stay in Kyoto. Location very convenient as well. Thank you!

We simply loved staying in this home. The location is ideal for experiencing Kyoto. Peaceful and quiet and yet five minutes to metro/bus stops. And we also walked to many sites and temples. Ume is a gracious host and the home is a beautiful and historic building. We were very comfortable with two adults and two teenagers. Highly recommended.

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!

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.

We loved our stay at Yamano’s place. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, but it was just a short walk to the river, bus stop, and train station. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind. They met us at check in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They also sent suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area.

This house is lovely awesome and perfectly clean. Our stay was wonderful and more worth the price. The private onsen inside the tiny Japanese garden is beautiful. The location is very quiet, near the river and less 5 minutes by walk from the station and konbini. Everything you need is provided inside the house, so you don’t have to worry about

The place was so beautiful and very close to many restaurants and convenience stores. We were able to stay in or go out with ease. Our host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone, and we all hope to come back in the future!

Have never stayed in an Airbnb this unique in architecture. It’s 2 beautiful houses joined by a lovely garden and a walkway. One over 100 years old, and absolutely stunning, and the other a modern one with all amenities. And top it all a wonderful host, so kind and communicative.

This is my third stay. The bedding and towels are clean and comfortable, and I am always very satisfied. It's become a place that's hard to book, but I'd love to stay again if I get the chance.

beautiful traditional home thar really gave the authentic experience. located in a great area, very close to subway train stop and lots to see and do within walking distance. would highly recommend

Natalie’s place in Kyoto was one of the most unique and memorable stays of our Japan trip! It’s a traditional Japanese house with amazing modern touches—great air conditioning, two washing machines, and two separate bathrooms. We loved the tatami rooms and sleeping on futons, and the little rock garden was such a peaceful touch. The space was also incredibly spacious—the biggest we stayed in during our trip. Natalie was a fantastic host, full of helpful local recommendations, and even waited with us as we rushed to catch our bullet train. The location is perfect—close to train stations, Family Mart, and a street full of great little restaurants. Our favorite experience was the public onsen right across the street—only about \$5 and such a special local experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting comfort, culture, and a truly local Kyoto stay!

Seiko’s place feels like a home. It’s pretty and quirky and cozy enough that every afternoon during our 5 night stay, my husband and I, along with our two teens, would head back to the apartment to put our feet up for an hour or so before heading back out. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water. The air conditioner works well and we were happy to have it for a summer visit in Kyoto. The location is great for getting around but also quiet. Things to note are that the bedrooms get bright in the morning and that the traditional beds may be uncomfortable if you like a soft bed.

Shogo was an amazing host!! His home was clean and he had so many great directions in english for me and the other guests. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Kyoto! I know we will be back :)

Very clean and maintained. Everything has been thought of. It even had adapters for the sockets, you don't even have to take your own (I still recommend it just in case). Too good for the price in my eyes. Host is very helpful and friendly, was really fun. The kitchen was also well equipped with dishes and even scissors, etc. I highly recommend it!

I can’t imagine you can find a better place to stay in Osaka. It’s right next to the train station to get to all the highlights of Osaka, it’s extremely affordable, and just a great room with everything that you can need.

I've used a lot of different types of accommodations while traveling in Japan, but this was my first time using Airbnb. I was worried, but I think I liked it better than the hotel and the ryokan. There was everything you needed, and it was so clean, cool, and full. There was nothing missing from the air conditioner, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, and the host's quick response. The station is a 2-minute walk away. Around.There is a Family Mart and a 7-Eleven. I'm doing so well and making good memories. Thank you.😇

Super cool house with tatami flooring but beds are extremely comfortable. You feel like you are living in history. It has all the modern comforts. AC heating etc. close to Kyoto station. Lots of taxis around. Host is super kid too. Have great recommendations on restaurants Would stay again.

Nice clean cozy little apartment about 10 min walk south/southwest of Namba. Host is very warm and has welcoming. The wifi was insanely fast and the AC worked well. Appreciated the washing machine and the drying ability in the bathroom. Perfect for one or two people to explore Osaka.
