Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kyoto

Such a quiet and beautiful oasis in Kyoto. Spending the mornings sipping coffee on the balcony, was definitely a highlight to our time in Kyoto. In addition, it was easy access to public transportation but also a short (and beautiful stroll) to various points of interest in town. I adjusted the timing of our Kyoto visit to accommodate this reservation, and I am so happy that I did.

We loved staying here during our 8 night in Tokyo. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Hosts were easy to speak to and provided us with great information for checking in/out. We had no issues at all and would recommend this accommodation.

We had a great stay at this house. Perfect for a family of 5 with small children and a nanny.

We couldn’t have asked for a better host for our first trip to Japan. We had an incident occur before our stay with one of our family members and the host went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. Not only did they show concern, they booked us taxis to assist us to get the help we needed. The home was beautifully appointed and was very comfortable for our family of 6. It was the experience I hoped for when booking. Otsu is a quiet town and made for a nice respite after the hustle and bustle of the crowds in Kyoto and Osaka. I highly recommend booking this home for your trip to Kyoto!

Cosy and big place for a party of 6! The host was extremely friendly and served us food from the Chinese restaurant next door (operated by their family). They even had maps of the nearby area and explained to us how to navigate the region for the best experiences! We were allowed to use the kitchen and fireplace freely as well. Highly recommend!

It is newly renovated and very clean. The host was friendly and responsive. One thing to note is that one of the rooms has a traditional Japanese-style bed, and the futon wasn’t very comfortable. Overall, still a great stay!

What a great stay!!! We stayed at Jun’s place for five nights while in Kyoto and LOVED it. Jun is a wonderful host and very responsive . His place is very large and comfortable with a sitting room, a kitchen, a beautiful bathroom, and loft upstairs. We were right close to Higashiyama Gingaju and the philosophers walk and easy walking to many of the other temples. Bus and taxi service is close by. The area, close to Kyoto university feels like it’s next to a park. Just wonderful.

The location is in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the Keihan line, which runs up and down the city and will take you all the way to Osaka if needed. If you like walking, you can get to Kawaramachi and Kyoto Station and beyond. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-furnished, equipped with everything I needed and more. The coffee table and entryway were stocked with a number of travel pamphlets. The building itself is charming in a very '80s way, but the elevator is smooth and quiet. Last but certainly not least, Sumi is a true superhost, bringing much-needed Kyoto hospitality to Airbnb accommodations. She was ready to help with anything related to my trip, even things I hadn't though of yet.

We just loved staying at Sumi's place, it was nice and cosy. Everything tidy, we'll organized and with instructions in English so it was perfect for us who don't speak Japanese. She was attentive and took care of us all the time. It's well located and it's close to almost all touristic areas. We felt like home and recommend it 100% ❤️

Sumi's place was perfect for our family of 3. It was very roomy, very clean, and in an amazing location. Sumi's instructions and recommendations were excellent. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Ken was an absolutely fantastic host — from the moment we booked, he provided super detailed instructions and was incredibly responsive to any questions we had, both before and during our stay. His communication made everything so easy and stress-free. The apartment itself is in an unbeatable location, right in the middle of a lively tourist area with tons of great food, drinks, and convenient transportation options just steps away. It was the perfect home base for exploring Kyoto. Staying at Ken’s place gave us a real feel for modern Japanese apartment living — a unique and authentic experience that we really appreciated. If you’re looking to experience what it’s like to live like a local in Japan, this is a great choice. That said, if you’re looking for a 5-star hotel or a traditional ryokan, this may not be the right fit — but for us, it was exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend staying here — and huge thanks to Ken for being such a thoughtful and helpful host!

I stayed at Hoshino’s for a night and was warmly welcomed by him. He showed me everything clearly and efficiently and made sure I felt right at home. Lovely location as well for some nice walks!

Great, quiet place. In the center of many tourist attractions. Yasuyuki is very friendly, always smiling and speaking different languages including English. Very easy to do loundry cost just 500 yen, and ready after few hours. Highly recommended!!!

The host is kind and the location is good. I was really grateful for the kind response despite the inconvenience caused by my mistake during the check-in process. I was also very satisfied with the sightseeing after checkout as they explained the beautiful tourist spots around Kyoto in detail. I recommend this place if you're looking for a place to stay near Gionomizudera. The Warabimochi shop right across the accommodation is also very good.

This is an excellent place to stay with a comfortable bed and thoughtful furnishings. Sumi is an excellent host who provides so much useful information and is always willing to help. She even dropped me at Kyoto station after I checked out. I loved the view from the window and the fact that this place is in a quiet neighbourhood but close by to many amenities and restaurants. Perfect host and stay.

Excellent location and very easy to get to places. Like many places in Japan, spaces are smaller, however we really loved the deep wardrobe/ cupboard. We were able to hang clothes, stack all our bags on a shelf and roll our suitcases straight in. Host was very helpful and gave us great information on current events. Would recommend.

JA’s place felt like home, safe and fully equipped. Heated musical toilet a surprise plus!

May was really kind and gave a lot of recommendations that she had typed out and left in the room for us! The location is great, less than a 5 min walk to the markets and has a ton of shops/restaurants. The room was also spacious, similar size to a hotel room as well as the bathroom. Would definitely book again

This place is close to everything you want to do in Kyoto including using the trains and bus. Restaurant below was a favorite. We also found Eggs and Things which we loved for 9:00 breakfast.

Lovely place to stay - clean, big, and very well equipped!

Nicely designed building. Room is tight but cozy. Toilet has heater which is extremely useful in winter. Need to walk a fair distance to the closest train stations.

This accommodation is perfectly located, walking distance from Kyoto station. plenty of food and drinks in the area. plenty of space in the apartment for a little family.
