Boutique hotel holiday rentals in Kansai

The Airbnb was located a distance from town at a peaceful and quaint neighbourhood. The suzuki lapin that came with the room was a delight and useful in getting around when driving to nearby restaurants and family mart, and even to koyasan and kobe. Though it failed to start at one point, the host was helpful in coming down to jump start the vehicle. Was not used to the thinness of the futon bed but overall the Airbnb was worth its value.

I used it very clean and comfortable.Check-in and check-out went smoothly.

The location is very close to one of the stations connecting to Kyoto station which made getting around super easy. The accommodation was nice and spacious whilst also feeling cozy. Checking in was really easy. I turned up the day after I was due to check in and they had left my key in a locker on reception which made the whole process so much easier. Host was super helpful and made sure everything was okay.

This place is magical and an incredible find. Every inch is so beautiful presented. Natsuki was the most incredible host, showing us around, describing the home, and giving us tips for where to visit in town (+ where the locals eat for the best experience) I would wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb to anyone (and have already) especially those who enjoy a modern, and slightly artistic, take on the traditional. And if that’s not your take, book it still, the home is lovely and town it’s based in well worth the visit. The location is absolutely fantastic, close enough to the Main Street that you can get all the shopping, and touristing you want done easily (and again, there’s so much to do it’s worth a day or two guaranteed). But it’s also just off the main roads, cutting down on street (and pedestrian) noise. (Also there’s a beautiful gallery selling ceramics and local art attached to the apartment, prices are very fair, & we are now the very happy owners of a new tea set, whoops!)

Great location and very comfortable bed!!

This was an amazing, last minute (as in the night before) find! Perfect location for everything Kyoto has to offer. Several places are within walking distance. Also super convenient to have the Higashiyama Station just a 1 minute walk away. The first floor even had anemities like coffee, tea, and fresh coffee. It felt like staying at a boutique hotel. Thank you for an amazing stay! 💗

We had a great stay at TOKA/Kyoto! Even the room is small it felt very comfortable and we were able to lay down two bigger suitcases. The area is great, walking distance to cafes, restaurants, the river and bus stops. We have to point out that the staff went beyond to help us redirecting a parcel we got send from our previous hotel to TOKA. They were so helpful, calling the post agency and helping us out. Thanks again! All the staff we met were super friendly :)

I am so glad we chose to stay at Kitty and Sakura's place. Kitty was out of town so we mostly interacted with Sakura. I unfortunately left my phone on the shinkansen from Tokyo and he went above and beyond to help me (just a reminder to add all guests to your trip through Airbnb before your trip as it was very helpful to still be able to message Sakura). He also was very understanding about needing to meet him 2 hours later than expected at the airbnb. With Sakura's help, I was able to eventually get my phone back 2 days later. My mom and I had the best time and loved the location, especially with the river nearby. There are also lots of great restaurants in walking distance, including a a yummy izakaya (Yamaga), a surprisingly good French place (les deux garcons), a great coffee place (Cafe Verdi) and a bakery I will always remember (Baikal - try the peach Sakura tart if you can). if I come back to Kyoto I would love to stay here again!!

After a full or half day of wandering around Kyoto, returning the this Air bnb was something we always looked forward to. Though not located directly on or by a busy road, this is accessible and a managable walking distance from public transportation options as well as many local sights. Thank you Karen!
