Watarai, Watarai District : locations de vacances

Very nice host. We really loved the apartment. But we'd recommend to add some isolation at the entrance door, because the entrance was very cold during our stay. Also we'd recommend to add some curtain at the entrance door and balcony because everyone was able to watch inside. Thank you miki that we could stay at your appartement and we're looking forward to come back again.

Highlight of our first Japan trip! 💎 Junko and Philip are warm, grounded and incredibly helpful hosts. Junko picked us up at the station and even brought us to the supermarket, where Junko kindly helped us choose what to buy — such a thoughtful gesture! The home was bigger than expected, clean and full of soul — from the CD collection, board games and a great sound system Every room had AC/heating, and we had everything we needed. The area is peaceful, the perfect contrast to Tokyo and Kyoto, which can easily get overwhelming— we were so happy to come here after exploring. They provide bikes and a folder with great tips. The bike seats were a bit hard, so we padded them with towels — fun memory! 😂 They live next door with their two kids and a lovely garden. The place has real serenity and a true Japanese feel. We’d love to return! 🙏🏼

Unfortunately I was injured on the train prior to arrival. As a result we needed to cut our stay short. Perhaps we can return on a future trip.

Eri-san’s stay was the perfect place for our stay in Kyoto. The location is fantastic - close to Fushimi Inari (so we were able to go early mornings & late nights, and get beautiful views), very close to the train station and many eateries close by. Apartment was clean, spacious for two people with maybe 2 checkin bags. The kitchenette was perfect for us as we woke up very early to explore temples without people, and were able to make some quick eats and coffee. I would definitely stay here again.

Such a lovely stay in Kyoto! After the hustle and bustle of Tokyo (and tiny hotel rooms), it was so nice to have a beautiful, quiet, calm space to spread out. A quick walk from the train station and the most perfect backyard is waiting for you with the nicest soaking tub. We ended up doing less than planned so we could enjoy the space more.

Beautiful home and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay in Kyoto. Great walkable location to train, Gion area and restaurants. The best AirBnB we have experienced!

A great place to stay in a residential part of Kyoto but near the aquarium and accessible to many things for a tourist. The home is really well designed and stocked with everything you might need. We really enjoyed having access to the bikes which made getting around town a lot quicker. There are many bus stops and train stations nearby too. One thing we didn’t realize given the residential location was how hard it would be to find somewhere to eat dinner. Many restaurants were closed for dinner (unclear if this was typical or not) - but like many places in Japan the hours posted online (on google maps) aren’t necessarily accurate. Not the host’s fault though just more of an FYI for others.

The bathroom downstairs was amazing. It was super clean—linens, fluffy towels, Dyson hair dryer. The only difficulty I had was figuring out the washing machine since it was all in Japanese. I tried using Google translate and I couldn’t toggle the washing setting to my liking. But, that’s really an issue with not being able to speak or read the language. It was conveniently located which easy access to Ubers and taxis. We went everywhere from the Golden Temple to the Bamboo forest and even made a day trip out to Osaka. It sucks to transport luggage to the Airbnb because they can’t just leave it up front. I tried getting them to let me pick it up from the train station but that wasn’t possible. However, the transport person stayed until we got there which was so nice. The host was amazing as well. One of the kids left her stamp book from the temple behind and she contacted us about it. She was so nice to send it to our next destination and messaged us with the confirmation.

I absolutely loved my stay. The place was extremely clean, the location is in a beautiful lowkey neighborhood that’s walkable to some of the bigger attractions and shopping. Definitely recommend staying here during your visit. A couple recommendations for stores close by - Homies, T.T, and otsu_kei
