Kita Ward : locations de vacances avec petit déjeuner

Akiko’s hosting was exactly what I was looking for when traveling to Japan - an opportunity to experience the Japanese culture in the most natural way. The family is so friendly, and the location is great (a suburb which allows you to visit both Kyoto and Osaka, but also a great place by itself to relax in a local restaurant/ bar); I only wish that I knew in advance that the calligraphy / kimono ceremony is not included in the price… and yet, it does not diminish the 5-star review that she deserves. Simply said - I enjoyed a lot and I highly recommend the place and the people 😊

Yoko is an excellent host. She is so friendly and generous. I missed my bus stop and she was so helpful in getting me back to the correct bus stop. She then met me to take me to the accommodations so that I didn’t have any further issues. The room was very clean and comfortable. Yoko was very helpful in explaining how to get to various locations around Kyoto. I will definitely stay here in the future and I highly recommend staying here. It was a lovely experience.

Cảm ơn chủ nhà vì lòng hiếu khách, sự tận tâm, nhiệt tình đã dành cho 2 con gái tôi khi chúng nghỉ tại đây. Chúng cực kỳ hạnh phúc và hài lòng vì đã được chủ nhà đón tiếp, chăm sóc phục vụ. Căn nhà này rất mới, sạch sẽ và vô cùng thuận tiện khi đi lại thăm quan ở Kyoto. Nếu có cơ hội chúng tôi sẽ ghé qua lần nữa. Không biết nói gì hơn cảm ơn chủ nhà rất nhiều và highly recommend mọi người nên ở chỗ này.

Our thanks to these great hosts who were very accommodating from the first inquiry all the way to checkouut. A very friendly family who truly welcome you to their village and home. The thatched cottage was as advertised and the experience of staying out in the countryside was perfect. Not a complaint, but just stating the house is an old house with low hanging beams, which an average height persob bumped their head 5 times in 3 nights 😉. But again fully recommend Yoshiko-san's Mitoya cottage, a nice peaceful stay.

Larry's place was beyond my expectation! It was beautiful and quiet, and felt traditional but also like home rather than hotel rooms or those Airbnbs that feel like they are just for Airbnb. The room downstairs is huge, and the whole house is very clean and nice. Larry is extremely nice as well! He picked my up from the closest metro station exit, and showed me everything I needed to know. He also gave me local sightseeing recommendations with his hand drawn maps. There's a dog and a little cute cat that he recently rescued, and they didn't bother me at all. Kyoto is not a big city so his location is not too remote. There's a uphill road towards the house though, and the main streets are also going uphill if you are coming from west to the east. So be prepared for some exercise, whether or not you choose to ride a bike or just walking. Larry also provided a bike, which was a good bike, beautiful with a convenient lock, automatic lights, and shifting gears.

The hospitality was exceptional, with Tomy as an attentive host ensuring a seamless experience. The location is excellent, offering safe, calm surroundings, easy access to the metro, and ample parking. It’s an ideal base for exploring Kyoto’s attractions and comes highly recommended for anyone seeking a beautiful and secure destination.

I stayed here for 5 nights in winter as a base to work remotely for a couple of days before exploring Kyoto. It was exactly what I was looking for: a quiet hideaway not far from the main city area, with good wifi, and a host that I can practice Japanese with. The house is on top of a hill with splendid views. I can imagine how lovely it’ll look when it snows, when the Sakura blooms or during autumn. I was kept warm and comfortable with the kotatsu, electric blanket, access to a kitchenette and hot water shower/bath. I met a couple of interesting house mates too. Keiko-san is the loveliest host and prepares a delicious breakfast for you daily. She also makes sure to drive me to and back from the train station (only a 15min straight train to Kyoto station). I will miss our little chats on the car rides. This space is perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowds of the city, take it slow, and experience local living. This is a different Kyoto and one that I really like.

Easily the best AirBnB experience we’ve had. Yoko’s place is a perfect place to stay in Kyoto, but it’s much more than just a place to rest your head. Yoko is helpful beyond words and goes out of her way to assist and make you feel at home. I can’t praise her or her house enough.

This guest house is will be the best choice. The host tommy is very kind and mindful. He speaks english very well, so someone who didn't speak japanese will be satified. Also, the domitory bed was very nice. It's cozy and comfotable. And Tommy will give you breakfast If you request. The toast was tasty. I recommend this guest house, you will not regret your choice. Thank you tommy!

I'm a super light sleeper and there was no street noise at all. Very quiet. Great Japanese hot breakfast (fish, egg, rice, vegetables). I would stay there again.

Love the breakfast and location is perfect !

Staying here was the best part of my trip. Chieri is an amazing host and I had a great time getting to know some of the locals in the area.

I planned a trip to Kyoto with a classic B&B vibe in mind and while there was no opportunity to eat all together, Tsukiya was perfect! Location was exactly where we wanted to be in the city, with easy access to public transit and even walkable areas. The breakfasts every morning were thoughtfully crafted starting about 2 hours beforehand. The space was authentic - highly recommend to anyone going to Kyoto!

Nori was a really nice and kind host and really helpful and made us feel like we were home. The location is unbeatable as it's walkable to go anywhere in Kyoto. Highly recommend it!

Staying at John’s place in Shiga was an unforgettable experience! John is an incredibly passionate and energetic host, always full of enthusiasm. He and his lovely wife, Rika, made me feel right at home. They even invited me to join their family for a delicious homemade dinner, and Rika kindly provided breakfast as well. Their son, Andre, was also very friendly, and I truly enjoyed our conversations. The house itself is a charming countryside cottage surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a perfect getaway. If you’re visiting Shiga, staying with John is an absolute must! Highly recommended!

😍Well all comments about Tanaka san and his wife Machiko san are true but can't really describe how this people are simply amazing, wonderful and so generous. The japanese style house is so cozy with everything for us. The Tanaka homemade onsen is so relaxing...even more after a wagyu bbq night with a glass of japanese whisky (thank you Tanaka 😉). Thank you Machiko for your breakfest plenty of love and flavor. Thank you for your help with our laundry. Last comment (more usefull), house is just beside of bus stop (seriously best way to travel in Kyoto). The bus stop is a city bus but also JR bus stop include with many JR and JR west pass.
