Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Kyoto

Excellent space in the heart of Kyoto! Transport links are on your door step to get to all the tourist attractions. Convenience stores and restaurants are plentiful and the hotel is in a quiet location off the busy roads. Would definitely come back and stay again when we’re visiting!

Loved the space, incredibly comfortable beds, close to everything that’s needed, and an attentive staff. Only downside was the elevator always opening on the second floor, kinda weird, but an extremely minor inconvenience for an otherwise incredible space!

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.

We were a family of 3. We felt right at home. Location was quiet and easy to get to multiple subway stations or bus lines. We mostly left for the day and came back at night so didn’t spend a lot of time there, but it suited our needs. My only feedback is that the beds could use a topper on them. I felt every spring in the beds (tried both), but I’m a picky sleeper :).

Great location and very comfortable bed!!

What a gem for East Kyoto, located near so many amazing restaurants, several beautiful canals, Gion, and extraordinary temples. The shower is strong with lots of hot water, we loved the little garden outside our window, and the beds were very comfortable. The community eating area has a great coffee machine and water dispenser. Host has great communication. We were very happy with our stay here, thank you!

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!
