Holiday rentals with breakfast in Higashiyama Ward

Amazing place and amazing host! Yoko is a kind and welcoming host, paying attention to every single detail. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the house is really beautiful (much better than depicted in the pictures). Our stay was beyond our expectations and we can’t be thankful enough. If we ever go back to Kyoto, we’ll definitely stay at Yoko’s place again.

I stayed here solo and the place is quite big for one person, not to mention everything is beautiful! The space is pretty much like a boutique hotel, except even better because Yoko San is an incredibly kind host that’s not just taking care of a beautiful guesthouse but also cultivating community and helping all of us play a part in appreciating the craft history and culture of Kyoto. I kept reading Kyoto is over crowded but this neighbourhood was serene and it really made me appreciate the city even more now, I also met some lovely people and we even had a special event on New Year’s Eve. There’s just too many kind gestures to mention, even at 7 am Yoko san dropped me off at the nearest train station… so so so much value and honestly a traveler’s dream because you get your privacy but also a wonderful community to get involved with if you would like and all in a stunning space. Thank you so much!

Nous avons été très bien accueilli, la chambre est spacieuse et les tatamis sont très confortables. Yoko a été aux petits soins avec nous, c’était parfait !

特别美的房子，超级耐心又友善的房东😭给第一次在京都选择民宿的我留下超美好的印象！我因为吃饭稍微耽误时间，房主也爽快同意调整时间到jr站接我们，入住的房间又安静又美丽，超nice的房主还允许我们拍照，keiko准备的早餐美味到让我忘不了！实在是太美丽的回忆了😭

推荐给所有去京都的朋友们，lily 姐的热情感动了我们一家人，所有的小细节都替客人想好，会不辞辛苦的接机送机，会给予我们旅程中的意见，走的那天还特意为我们包了饺子🥟，饺子是lily 姐头一天晚上包到了凌晨，会特意为我们的宝宝做鸡蛋羹，会告诉我们怎样坐车换乘花费最少，如果你们想在京都度过一个省心的旅程，那么我十分推荐您入住这里，lily 姐会像家人一样帮助您，希望有一天再去京都还能相见！

I had such an amazing stay here! I stayed for about 1 month, and enjoyed every second of it. The house is themed beautifully with British decorations, so I felt right at home. The amenities and all provided and everything was clean. Mari is such an amazing host - kind, helpful and funny. And Gon is an amazing co-host - very cute and friendly! The house is located in a peaceful residential area not too far from the train station which Mari picked me up from on my arrival date. There are shops, parks and temples not far from the house, so lots to do if you want a day to explore nearby. When checking in, Mari provided super helpful suggestions and advice and made sure to explain how to use everything and answer any questions. Mari’s english is also amazing so you shouldn’t have trouble communicating if you only speak English. I would 100% recommend to anyone to come and stay here, and would love to come back in the future. ありがとうございます！

Larry was a very positive, friendly host. Very, very nice person and very helpful. He picked us up from the station which was very nice.

If you go to Kyoto you have to go to Keiko’s house ! She is absolutely LOVELY and her home is very comfortable. It is very easy to go from the station to the station next to her home and she will pick you up there ! I highly recommend this stay 🌸 Thanks again for everything Keiko 🩷

We stayed at four airBnb‘s in Japan and all have their good points, but this was by far the best. Located in a quiet suburb so not walking distance to the main sites of Kyoto, but with some lovely sites that we would not have seen otherwise Close by. It was as simple Uber ride or train ride to get into Kyoto for main sightseeing and it was lovely to come home to a quiet un bustling local with a wide choice of excellent restaurants to choose among. The apartment itself is spacious, by far the most spacious we stayed in And it’s part of a an apartment complex which has a small gym. Nori and Fumi even served us breakfast all three days we were there in another upstairs breakfast room. To top it off, they picked this up and dropped us off at this train station three days later. All in all it was a really welcoming and comfortable place to stay, well worth the price we paid

The host was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for me since I was attending a conference at the international conference centre (20 minute walk). The facilities were excellent for the price.

This guest house is will be the best choice. The host tommy is very kind and mindful. He speaks english very well, so someone who didn't speak japanese will be satified. Also, the domitory bed was very nice. It's cozy and comfotable. And Tommy will give you breakfast If you request. The toast was tasty. I recommend this guest house, you will not regret your choice. Thank you tommy!

Albeit brief, this was my favorite stay of my entire Japan trip. The hosts were incredibly friendly and always proactive in making sure we felt at home not just in our accommodation but also in Kyoto and the lovely and peaceful neighborhood the townhome resides in. They made sure to follow up every question we had and made sure we were able to travel and make our next destination smoothly. We had some stressful travel beforehand, but they were extremely flexible in made our trip much easier. Also their cute daily breakfast was delicious and every single room had so much personality. It has a shared common space and bathroom but it never felt inconvenient and also allows you to get a one of a kind experience in Kyoto. The price was also incredibly reasonable and a great value. I look forward to returning next time I’m in town!

The host was so kind, the meal was delicious, and the location was so good. I'm thinking of visiting again! Thank you so much:)

yukie的客房在我们到达的几天前起火了。很遗憾我们没能体验到这个房间，但是yukie和kavin为我们找到了另一个住处，我们住进了他们的朋友，津川夫妇家。津川夫妇也是非常友好和热情的人，我们非常愉快，就像多了两位家人一样。 感谢yukie总是非常及时和热情地回复我们的消息，并来车站接我们。yukie的英语很好，并且很乐于交流。我们很高兴在一起聚餐，并认识来自斯洛文尼亚的朋友。这里是日本的乡村地区，很多风俗和景致都与城市不同。我们很高兴能有这样的体验，这是一个安宁、恬淡、美丽的地方。y & k的精神深深感染了我。我非常希望一切困难都能被克服，祝你们平安、健康、幸福！

Chieri en haar moeder en hun schattige hond zijn hele lieve hosts die er alles aan doen om je verblijf een echte authentieke Japanse ervaring te laten zijn. Hun huis is prachtig ingericht, ruim en voelt heel fijn en gastvrij. Het café en de biertuin van Chieri zijn ook zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Het eten en drinken en het gratis Japanse ontbijt waren heerlijk. En als je nog authentieke Japanse souvenirs zoekt zijn die hier ook te vinden. Al met al een perfecte plek om even tot rust te komen na het bezoeken van de drukke steden als Kyoto en Osaka.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Kyoto! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help out with any questions or needs. The location is great – it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest station and equally close to popular spots like Sanjo and Nishiki Market, making it easy to explore the area. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the breakfast. It wasn’t just a standard continental breakfast – each morning, they prepared a full, delicious spread for every guest, which was such a treat to start the day. You could really feel the care and effort they put into making everyone feel at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The only minor issue was the washer and dryer, which are a bit dated. The dryer took a while to dry a half load, so I’d recommend doing smaller loads or planning laundry for when you have some time to hang out. Overall, I loved my stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Die Zimmer sind sehr hübsch und das Frühstück war fantastisch! Die Lage war für uns perfekt. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und verabschiedet. Die Unterkunft war für uns insgesamt sehr gut, ist allerdings (nachts) hellhörig, was beim Schlafen stören kann. Es werden aber Ohropax kostenlos bereitgestellt. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft!

Staying at John’s place in Shiga was an unforgettable experience! John is an incredibly passionate and energetic host, always full of enthusiasm. He and his lovely wife, Rika, made me feel right at home. They even invited me to join their family for a delicious homemade dinner, and Rika kindly provided breakfast as well. Their son, Andre, was also very friendly, and I truly enjoyed our conversations. The house itself is a charming countryside cottage surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a perfect getaway. If you’re visiting Shiga, staying with John is an absolute must! Highly recommended!
