Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Shiga

Chie & Chris's place is located in a tiny, very quiet alley in the heart of Gion. There are several temples & shrines located within walking distance, & we found incredible restaurants nearby. They gave us clear instructions on what to tell the cab driver to get there, & self check-in was easy. The accomodations were pristinely clean. The master bedroom with a large Western style bed is upstairs, & the steps are steep which was no issue for us at all but might be for elderly, injured, or handicapped folks. My 6'5" husband had to be careful to duck under door frames because of his height but staying in a historic machiya was worth the small effort. Our 14-year-old son slept on a futon on the main level & loved it. Communication was excellent, & they gave us numerous recommendations for restaurants. There is a Lawson konbini & a grocery store close by, as well as a quaint bar across the alley. We loved being within walking distance of the action coupled with the quietness of the night.

It was a clean and wonderful property.I'd love to stay again.

Great host and beautiful place!

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!

Haru San was a wonderfully warm host. From receiving and dropping me back at Shigaraki station to driving me to the Cultural park and the Maruni tool shop she was most helpful and prompt in her responses. The place is very beautiful and green and surrounded by rice fileds, hills and forests. Would love to go back in the future.

It was a nice space and a quiet environment, which was great. He also took us to the tea field we had longed for, and it was a really fun time. Thanks for your hospitality!

The place was beautiful with a traditional Japanese style, and the experience of sleeping on the futon was wonderful. The accommodation overlooks a small stream that separates it from the river by just a street, about 50 meters away. The surrounding area is lovely, with plenty of activities and good restaurants. I really enjoyed the stay, and the front desk lady was extremely kind and helpful. I wish I knew her name so I could mention it here. Thank you for this beautiful experience 🙏🏻

Peaceful area in Northern Kyoto. Stayed here for almost a month, the apartment has everything you need for an extended stay. It's located near by many different grocery stores and finding good food and cooking is extremely easy. Very easy walking distance to trains and bus stops that go between Kurama and Downtown. Will definitely consider staying again.

Gorgeous place with a nice quiet location by a station and restaurants. Hosts were very kind and were happy to help us with our bags and give local recommendations.

The property is situated near Ono Station, it is a little farther from the City Centre and yet very accessible. The 7-11 and Lawson stores are nearby 4 min walk. Overall anyone looking for a place not exactly in the city centre yet accessible, this is the place to go. As dar the apartment is concerned, it’s quite big, has sofa cum bed and tatami beds (sleeping in tatami beds is very relaxing) Taketo has a very in depth books and guides for local recommendations and recommendations throughout Kyoto. Overall will definitely come again to stay and will definitely recommend.

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

the location was at a great place, right next to fushimi inari shrine. had your own room and your own washing machine. the host was proactive and friendly.

A very efficient studio apartment of small dimensions common in Japan, while rare for most folks visiting from the West. Staying in a well maintained space of this kind makes a visitor's experience more "authentic." By being on a small street one can observe the rhythms of daily life than in most tourist areas.

This was the best accommodation during our Japan travel. The place was so spacious compared to the other places we stayed at in Japan, and even the bathroom which I found very small in general around Japan was very big here. Especially loved the outdoor bath!! A baby cot and bath tub were provided and our baby slept beautifully during the stay. Our futons were comfortable too.

Within walking distance of Uji station, it is in a quiet and calm place along the river, and I was very soothed from the moment I arrived😌 The interior was also tasteful, and it was a really ideal space to relax with friends! Before check-in, I happened to meet the owner and asked about the insects I saw nearby (they seem to be called "Tobikera"), and it seems that they are unique to the rich natural areas that only occur for a period of time in spring and autumn. When we stayed, we had no concerns, and the room was very clean and comfortable.My friend, who doesn't like insects, was also able to relax👌 The communication was polite and the response was quick, and I felt the high level of hospitality. It is a lovely inn that I would love to visit again in a different season!

Accommodation in a good location, clean and easy to access. Great for a stay in Kyoto. Very helpful host, thank you!

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!

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

Great location and place. Very accommodating and responsive. Thank you.

Seth’s place was a mini hotel and was sufficient for our 2 days stay in Kyoto. Location was perfect and near many sights as well. Thank you.

Overall, this place was excellent! The space was cleaned daily and we’re so incredibly sweet! They were exceptionally communicative and let me and my friends know when they would come in to clean. I would highly recommend this space! I also loved the thank you notes they would leave when they were done!
