5 min from JR Namba near Dotonbori Horie YouTube
It was a really great place to stay overlooking the Dotonbori River. The host is also very kind. Everything around was quiet, so it felt like a Japanese villa. At the same time, the hot spots of Dotonbori and Nanba are all within walking distance. Above all, the restaurants on the first floor are all great and delicious! You don't have to go far to go to an Instagram restaurant with a lot of waiting. Go unconditionally. Go twice. Go three times. However, some restaurants allow smoking at the table, so families with children only need to pay attention to that part. This is common throughout Japan, so it is not a disadvantage.

Baggage OK ! 62m²/comfort Beds、NAMBA、Dotonbori
Walkable distance from airbnb to attraction such as shinsaibashi. Airbnb provides everything we need. The host was very friendly and welcoming to give us some local snacks to try. Also, very responsive to all our request.

Dotonbori 5 min walk! Riverfront Large room!
Ryoma was especially friendly and helpful during our stay. The apartment is centrally located, within walking distance of Dotonbori, Namba, and Kuromon Market. It’s also conveniently close to a Yamato Transport service center, making it easy to send luggage ahead and travel hassle-free. The apartment felt like home, and we had a very pleasant stay overall. Highly recommend!

Listen to the sound of the river while having an extraordinary experience/A small apartment on the bank of the Izu River/Travel like a local
Beautiful and cost stay! I was worried about the river sound first but it didn’t bother us at all. We also enjoyed the projector to watch some videos. The host is so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much for having us!

Osaka Dotonbori Riverside.4minutesfromNambaStation
Kikka was truly nice to deal with. She was so helpful and patient with all my questions, which was a lot. It is my first time to Japan and I am so glad she was our host. Her accomodations are perfect for 2 persons with a beautiful view of the river. The location is great , close to the Namba station where we were able to do day trips to Korasan and Nara so easily. The restaurants on the same street as her accomodations were incredible. Simply put a very convenient location and very cosy accomodations provided by a super nice host. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Absolutely no disappointments for myself and daughter.

Sakura River Inn 1 (most reviewed in Kyoto)
This small house is a unique experience. Sitting on the balcony in front of the creek is very comfortable and delicious. Sleeping at the tatame house was very special. The kitchen is small I recommend only for small meals. The house is fresh and the bathroom and showers are well equipped. Thank you .

SHIBUYA9min/For5/Family friendly/rich in nature
We couldn't be happier with our stay at Rui's home! Her sister Yui lives downstairs, and was very communicative with us throughout our stay. We arrived late in the evening and she met us outside with her husband. They helped us bring all our luggage up to the second floor! They were very welcoming and the place was imcredibly clean and exactly as pictured. Yui was very helpful and responsive whenever I asked questions in the app. We even had trouble with a pizza delivery, and Yui called the restaurant to make sure they delivered to the right address. The location was amazing, with a beautiful park right outside. Only a 10 minute walk to the station, and plenty of great restaurants a short walk away. The convenience stores and supermarket were also within a short walking distance. Yui booked us a taxi for our return trip home, and even carried our luggage downstairs for us. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay and we will absolutely stay here again when we return!!

Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ Wood bath/ 1st floor
Absolutely loved our stay here! The place was spotless, with both indoor and outdoor bathtubs that made for a truly relaxing experience. It’s incredibly cozy and well-designed, with a perfect location—just a short walk to the subway and the river. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kyoto!

[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.

Villa Noël Hakone Fuji/ Sauna & Open Air Bath
Breathtakingly beautiful views from every window. Even my 6 month old daughter enjoyed walking up and staring at the trees outside the bedroom window. So many great ways to unwind and recharge. Only thing to note is it’s a bit far from restaurants and stores so taxing was the way to get around for us since we had a baby and stroller to tote. Otherwise location and buses would’ve been convenient.

Pets welcome!Lake Biwa Arigatou House in Omihachiman is perfect for a workcation where you can stay like you live there
Beautiful home next to Lake Biwa. Its a refreshing break from the city and the neighbors are all very nice. The house was very clean and spacious, the host was always responsive and helpful, even gave me a ride when I left back to the train station so I didn't have to walk with all my luggage. Only downside would be the steep stairs, so if you have balance issues maybe sleep in the room downstairs. Overall very nice place and my 2 weeks went by too quickly here. Will definitely rebook next time I'm in Kyoto/Osaka area.

Lakeside Kyoto Getaway Hira-Ya
This place was absolutely amazing. Super spacious, comfortable, and just a short walk from the train station. The views were phenomenal, and taking the bike around the community was a highlight. Just be ready for a few hills (you’ll feel in shape after!). The beach is right in front of the property, and the night views are unreal. There are some awesome local food spots and cozy cafes nearby. The host and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their home is beautiful. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip here. I’d absolutely recommend staying if you get the chance.

【Hakone】 Open-air bath under the stars 【Akari】
Amazing place to stay at! Great location, super clean and comfortable house. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Hakone

Izu Beach House
We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to return! From the moment we stepped inside, we felt right at home. This Airbnb is a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Japanese charm. The private onsen was incredibly cozy and spacious, and the Hinoki wood accents throughout the house added a touch of elegance. We loved running each day at the beach, along the coast to another town, or up the river into the mountains, and simply relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Better get here first before we tell our friends about it for the same weekend!

IORI MIYAGAWA 【The river view & Japanese Modern】
The best airbnb I have ever stayed in. We arrived at the Lounge for check-in and was greeted by the friendly staff and offered yummy snacks. The staff then drove us to the house and provided a thorough rundown of everything. We also tried out the spa services, paired with the bath and sauna inside the house made the most perfect and relaxing night. Such a convenient location where everything was in walkable distance.

Cottage with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Have the best day with stunning views.
Absolutely stunning accommodation. Honestly some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. All the staff were very friendly. The house was very comfortable and clean and we loved the design. The bath was also amazing! If you travel ~30mins north you can get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji which we were lucky enough to see. Absolutely loved the place - 10/10 would recommend

[Limited to 1 group per day] 30 seconds to the sea! Kurage-an Miyakawa, a safe private lodging (BBQ available/1 free parking space)
Lovely place. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Host was flexible with my check in time as I wasn’t sure what time I arrived til I got on the train. As it was raining on the day I left, host was kind enough to offer to drive me to train station as well as work out the train timetable for me. I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier experience.

Sleeps up to 10! Gion Shijo Station is a 1-minute walk. It is in a good location overlooking Yasaka Shrine, Chion-in, and Minamiza from the window. Pets are allowed!
This is an extraordinary place. The location is in the heart of the buzzing Gion district, and everything easily walkable. They hosts were helpful & flexible with us leaving bags before and after. The space is unbelievable and rare. It's very spacious, which was a relief after being crammed in prior hotels. Basically it is a giant and very cool room, with attached bathroom and laundry wing. Bedding comfy. The place feels funky. It has absolutely everything you could need. It is not a shared space with anyone else, it's all yours and private. We travelled with 2 toddlers and the space was perfect. Huge room to run and climb, with plastic kitchenware, toys and books. As the host mentions, it is across the hall from a rooftop bar that can be a little noisy, but also distant bars and the district is noisy and busy in general, it was okay. It was neat and fine but could use a deep clean (it would be a hard space to keep perfect), but overall wonderful. 10/10.

③-1 Enoshima area/Near the beach/5 people/Wi-Fi
Was easy to find and Wakaba was communicative and helpful!

②-1 Enoshima area/Near the beach/8 people/Wi-Fi
The place looks exactly like the pictures, clean and nice! We have 7 people, everyone is happy about the place. You can wash the clothes and dry them in the bathroom with dry fans. The location is great, 7 mins walk to both train stations. Wifi is super fast. overall, it's a good value for this place when you have bunch people.

Ocean View! 548ft² Condominium 3 min to JR Ito st.
Akiko’s place was just as described and very easy to access. Loved, loved the location and the slideshow Akiko sent along was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful dinner at the local yakiniku restaurant, which we would not have found without Akiko’s recommendation.

They responded quickly, and I was able to use it with peace of mind. The interior was very clean and a pleasant stay.
