Family-friendly vacation rentals in Minami Ward

great location, super quiet. could use more heating in the winter (bathroom & shower cold), but would totally stay again!

Our stay was flat out wonderful- a very responsive host with very clear directions, lots of nice extras and a beautiful space that was perfectly located for sightseeing in Kyoto with easy access to the train and subway. The large whirlpool tub is a welcome necessity after visiting arashiyama and other walking heavy tourist locations! The kitchen was well equipped with a grocery store within a 5m walk, perfect for cooking your own wagyu dinner like we did. I would highly recommend this stay in Kyoto!

Eri was so beautiful! So helpful and the way she showed us around the home and her attention to detail was phenomenal! I even asked to stay an extra day because kyoto became my favorite place in all of Japan! Coming to Japan i was a bit disappointed with Tokyo, but i am so grateful for Koji and Eris gorgeous home and their recommendations. We rented kimonos and spent the whole day visiting local shrines and temples, all within walking distance. It was such an amazing experience. I will be coming back next year and am going to spend my entire vacation in Kyoto. Hopefully I will be able to stay at Tsubara house again!

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

Spacious accommodation for Japan, well equipped. Impeccable bedding. Quiet neighborhood. Friendly host. Close to buses and metro.

I have stayed in airbnb's across London, Iceland, and Quebec. This was easily the best I've ever been to! And I know that anyone who comes here will be more than satisfied. Lovely place, warm hosts, great location.

Stayed in multiple Airbnbs throughout Japan, and this location was by far the BEST! It accommodated my family of 7 plus my 1 year old. Perfect location to walk to several restaurants, bus routes, and train. The decorations and the small detail made the place even more special. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Enjoyed every moment.

Akane's place was perfect for our group of 6. The apartment is flexible for different combinations of people in the 3 bedrooms. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Akane always responded right away whenever we needed instructions on anything in the apartment. Her English is very good and she is very friendly. We had a great time!

Mio was the best host we've ever had on Airbnb. Her communication was perfect from pre check-in to checkout. Mio came to meet us at the train station and helped us to her beautiful house. We had just got engaged and she had lovely flowers for my fiancée. The house had everything we could need - we felt right at home here. It's a 30 second walk to a well connected subway (less than 5 minutes to Sanjo bridge) and just next to the beautifull Kamagowa River which is great to cycle with the provided bikes. Mio also drove us to the station at checkout which saved us so much time. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Kyoto. This is a must book house for anyone coming to Kyoto.

The host communicated well and helped us find the place when we got lost. It is very close to Kyoto station. It is also very clean.

Yamano-san is one of the most helpful hosts I've ever had the pleasure of having. He sent us a complete house guide with directions to get to his place (with photos of every turn), how to use the appliances, and how to dispose of garbage. Japan has strict rules on garbage disposal, so that was essential information. He alsobmet us at check-in to show us everything. He responds to messages immediately and came when we needed help with the water system. We came during cherry blossoms season so everything was just wow! Crowded but beautiful. Good thing Yamano-san's house is in a quiet area even if it is less than 200m from a train and bus station, and from a convenience store. We were even able to walk to the iconic Togetsu-kyo Bridge. Bonus: He is a setai (body adjustment) doctor. He treated two of our group and they loved it! We definitely recommend staying there!

The Aya Guest House fully corresponded to the description and our expectations and can only recommend it! The location is great - within a few minutes you can reach the most beautiful sights by train and are in the heart of Kyoto. The surroundings are very quiet and charming, the place very clean and well maintained and the hosts very accommodating and nice. We immediately felt comfortable here!

We stayed in Jinn’s place for a few nights with our family of 4. The house is located in a calm area of Kyoto, bordering the forest. Only a short walk from a Main Street with busses, so very convenient. Jinn’s communication was great and he gave us many tips on what to do and where to eat. He met us personally on arrival and check out and even did a mini photo shoot of our family in the garden! The house is authentic Japanese style - which was new to us and a great experience. Especially the Onsen bath, low dining table and beds on the floor, together with the Japanese furnishings and art / decor were really nice. The house was clean and well equipped. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!!

Great Inn for 3 families. So much space for us to spread out. Walking easy to the stations. Great amenities. Beautiful peaceful garden to relax in. We loved it.

This is a beautiful old house in the best area of Kyoto. Beds and pillows were comfortable. I will come again if im in the area.

This place was perfect for our group of 5. It has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and 1 with room for several mattresses. It also had tatami rooms up front so plenty of space. It has a kitchen and dining area in back which was comfortable for sitting, and also has a living room up front. The bathroom and shower and tub were very convenient, as well as the two separate toilets. We also used the laundry. The place is covert accessible to the bus lines. It was perfect.

We loved our stay at this home. The place was great and the hosts were very responsive during booking and our stay. It had everything we needed and was in a great location right in the Gion district! I would definitely recommend this home.

This apartment is the perfect place to stay to experience Kyoto a little off the beaten path. I wanted to get more out into nature near the outskirts of the city, Asami's apartment fit the bill wonderfully. I felt extremely welcome in the space, and was given helpful local recommendations for sights to see that fit my desires.

Can't beat the location if you want to visit Mt. Inari before or after the crowds. Since the grounds are open 24 hours, you can walk over anytime, day or night. And although the shops and shrine facilities are only staffed from about 9am to 6pm, you are free to walk the torii gates anytime, and it's absolutely surreal after dark. Also right next to a nice bridge over a picturesque river, and very close to a 7-11. Inside, the place is very nice, and certainly would stay there again.

We really enjoyed staying here while visiting Kyoto for our honeymoon - highly recommend!

Very satisfied with this homestay experience, Harry's house is so excellent, two floors above and below, the rest and leisure space is separated, equipped with projection and sound, and the lighting design in the house is also very cozy.The house itself is a very traditional Japanese house with a refined little yard, at the same time it is conveniently equipped with a very modern home appliance system. Harry is very nice, he came to the bus station to pick us up, and also recommended very authentic daily materials, and I will come to Kyoto again next time I come to Kyoto!

Very spacious guesthouse that could fit 5 people every comfortably with living room, dining room, and kitchen. Sadly only 1 separate bathroom and toilet but we were okay with that as we only had 3 pax. Toilet was also located at level 1 which was less convenient when accessing from the bedrooms at level 2. Stairs were pretty steep too so we had to be be careful. Basic toiletries were provided (towel, shampoo, etc), except for toothbrush and toothpaste. Overall great stay and great value. Only 3mins walk from kintetsu Jujo station. Host was very quick and kind to replace the spoiled kettle. We had a very comfortable stay.

Welcoming typical japanese home not too far from the shinkansen station. Accommodating host with lots of good advice on the neighborhood.

A very convenient while peaceful place to stay for Kyoto exploration. We stay for 4 days, have our much needed rest, and love the place. Highly recommend if your group is looking for a traditional experience.
