Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Shimogyo Ward

A beautiful, authentic Japanese home. This was such a cool experience to stay in a house like this while in Japan. Beautiful garden, and a very large shower room, it felt like a spa! The host let us drop our luggage off before check in which was super helpful. Only minor inconvenience is that the main bedroom did not fully cool down, so it stayed warm in there. Overall, completely recommend and if we come back to Kyoto we will stay again!

Great apartment, very clean in decent area

One the best Airbnb spaces I’ve stayed in Japan. The host was extremely friendly and sweet and would respond very quickly. Overall loved the place :)

We had a great five-night stay as a family of three. The apartment was exactly as described and fit us well — it felt a bit tight by the end, but that was mostly due to the shopping bags piling up! The location is very convenient, just a short walk from Kyoto Station. While we didn’t use it, the small kitchenette looked well-equipped for basic meals. What really stood out was our host, Mr. Yoneda. He was incredibly kind and responsive, even meeting us on the street late at night to make sure we found the place without trouble. He gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and even had a sweet surprise for our daughter. If you’re looking for a ryokan-style stay in Kyoto that’s affordable, comfortable, and comes with a fantastic host — this is a great choice.

Loved staying here! It was the authentic experience we were looking for. Erika was so nice and helped accommodate early bag drop off.

My family of 4 absolutely loved this charming, traditional home located within walking distance of many Kyoto attractions. Our 2 hosts were attentive, kind and made us feel at home. One of the coolest places we stayed during our 16 day trip. We’d definitely stay again!

Perfect location, walking distance to most of the main attractions in Kyoto and Kyoto station. Host is very kind and responsible, will be back here if we visit Kyoto again.

We spent 5 days at Ikuyo's apartment at the end of our trip to Japan. It was the most spacious place we had during our trip, perfect for us as a family. We were pleased with the opportunity to cook food and the large table. Otherwise, we found the furnishings thoughtful and practical, with various options for storing or hanging things. You can quickly get from the train station to the apartment, and the connection to attractions is good. The street is really noisy, as already mentioned in other comments. Even with the windows closed, you can hear the traffic. We still slept well, and the air conditioning provided pleasant temperatures.

This is a wonderful, walkable location to everything Kyoto. If it is not walkable, then the station or bus stop surely is to get to where you need to go. We found it to be amazing, convenient, comfortable, quiet to sleep, and in a great location. Would definitely recommend! Also host is very responsive and provides great amenities, such as a washer and fridge.

Everything was perfect!! Clean, confortable , room was big, kind people!! 10/10

Great stay in a convenient part of Kyoto! Apartment was clean and spacious. Thank you!

We had a pleasant stay in Kyoto. The place was photo compliant, clean and in a good location. The instruction to retrieve the keys deserves to be clarified (it was indicated to turn one way, when we had to do the opposite), but fortunately, a very nice person at the reception helped us. After we left, I thought I had left an item in the apartment: the host was very responsive and helped me quickly, which I enjoyed very much. Thank you again!

Perfect place and location!

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.

Our stay was fantastic! The apartment is in a great location — super convenient with lots of excellent restaurants and local spots just a short walk away. It had everything we could possibly need and made us feel right at home. The area is vibrant during the day and calm at night. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely stay here again!

Wincent was a wonderful host. His place was very clean and perfect for our stay in Kyoto. Easy access to bus and train stations made it a breeze to travel to all the amazing places in Kyoto. It was also very easy to walk to the bustling parts of town, but very quiet back at the apartment. Highly recommend!

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.

The host is the most amazing and kind hosts I have been across in my 9 years of being with Airbnb. He picked us up from the station since we had large bags and a baby stroller. We had a good time at his cafe where he hosted breakfast for, he also had fruits ready for us when we arrived. The location is also simply perfect in terms of connectivity to public transport, restaurants and supermarkets. We hope we can stay here whenever we visit Japan again.

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!

Beautiful city, the air bnb is in a perfect area loved the surrounding and where it was located. Place was clean and modern.

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.
