Ryokan holiday rentals in Kyoto

A beautiful, traditional house overlooking the river. Shops, restaurants and bus/train close, we felt very much at home. Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience. The house adjoins the To-ji temple which is a must to visit especially on the 21st of the month. We slept very well on the modern futons, the bed clothes smelled so good and the onsen was such a pleasant moment. The house is big and w modern equipment. The room at the back is quiet and really nice. We asked Maya some restaurant tips and trips we wanted to do and we always got a super fast answer. Very helpful.

Very warm and helpful household (luggage room option). Good location (quiet and few minutes to Kyoto Station). Rooms very clean, spacious and cosy; beds very comfortable. Everything as described. I highly recommend it!

We loved our stay in this peaceful traditional house and Mrs. Yoshino was such a kind and very accommodating host! She would write up a small saying to us in French before we would leave for our day, which was just so kind of her. Plus she did our laundry for us which was an amazing bonus, (and loved the smell of her laundry detergent!) Thank you so much for being such a wonderful host!!

Had an amazing time staying here!

we enjoyed staying at Yoko's place in Kyoto for 1 week , it's very local buses near by and easy to get around . We were doing lots of day trip so always on the go but enjoyed this peaceful place

cudny Rayokan polecam

We stayed at Niho's place for almost a week. Despite the close road, train and airport, you can hardly hear about it inside. The apartment is really exactly like the photos. It feels like you're staying in the middle of the locals, and not in the tourist neighborhoods. In 10 minutes walk there are two train stations and great restaurants. We felt very comfortable, it was an authentic experience.

This was a great place to stay and access different parts of Kyoto. Access to trains and buses was good. The person who did the check in was great. The space was well designed and decorated.

8 minute walk from the nearest metro station, less than 15 minutes metro to get downtown kyoto! Our host was helpful with metro tips and the home was beautiful!

This house is located in a fantastic location, only a 6 min walk from the nearest station. Shiho, the host, was very accommodating. She greeted us as we arrived and gave a house tour. She also asked how we were going and made sure everyone was okay, something that is rarely done for Airbnb hosts. Everything in the house was clean and organised, the beds and futons were comfortable, and overall we had a great time staying at this place.

Very nice place with clean and hot tub including place! Drinks, gifts, and quick communications are great to feel welcome at place.

Was an amazing stay!!! Close to everything and also in a very nice and quiet area.

A delightful, charming building within easy reach of trains, buses and restaurants. Located centrally to the top tourist destinations made it easy to travel in any direction and have an enjoyable day and was quiet enough to be away from the really busy tourist areas. We loved our stay and would definietly recommend to friends. Thank you!

We stayed for two weeks and we like the house, especially the bathroom area with the massage chair and the upstairs spacious sleeping area. It’s also very close to Nijo castle.

Kiraku’s place was just as described. I love the traditional house with a modern style. Kiraku’s was always super responsive and helpful.

The courtyard is really beautifull!Although the soundproofing is not great, the travelers staying in the B&B are very qualified and can't hear the noise at night!If you haven't tried staying in a Japanese traditional house, the carp house is a very nice place

Thank you!It was a very nice accommodation!

A beautiful traditional machiya house, super clean, rooms were fantastic (I stayed in two different rooms), host were very helpful and welcoming, food was so delicious, location very central (walking distance to Kyoto Station, restaurants, cafés). I had a wonderful experience overall; surpassed my expectations!

Unforgettable stay in this property. The setting is beautiful, and we were also extremely well received by a thoughtful team. Without a doubt the high light of our trip to Kyoto. Thank you again.

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!

Our stay at Yamashita’s beautiful 100-year-old Japanese villa in Kyoto was the perfect way to end our 2 week vacation in Japan. The house is spacious, very clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our group of 12. It has everything you need and more. It has a serene garden, jacuzzi, and sauna—the kids especially loved the jacuzzi! Yamashita is an EXCEPTIONAL host—very warm, helpful, and accommodating. She drove us to supermarkets and places we wanted to go and even picked us up for a small fee. She prepared simple yet delicious breakfasts. She was quick to respond to messages and even guided us on using local buses. Though the house is a bit far from the touristy areas, the peace and quiet of Yamashita’s home made it the perfect retreat. It offered a more authentic and relaxing experience of Japan. I highly recommend Yamashita’s villa to anyone looking for comfort, culture, and outstanding hospitality. And to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay in a traditional Japanese home.

What a beautiful traditional Japanese home to stay We totally loved the old house, beautiful decorations, the inner courtyard and our room. Everything was perfect! Chieri is a great host, we felt very welcomed and home right away. We were on a road trip, so we also enjoyed that we could wash our clothes. And we tried out the traditional japanese bath. Perfect! Chieri, thank you for everything! Hope to see you someday again!
