Yaoya Kyoto Kyomizu Gojo

Located in Kyoto, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Your feet will make short work of the 9-minute walk to Shijo Street or the 13-minute walk to Nishihonganji Temple. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at either Shijo Station, a short 12-minute walk away, or Karasuma Station, 13 minutes away.

This 1-bedroom rental features a dining area and climate-controlled air-conditioning. You can also use the deep soaking bathtub, plus other bathroom amenities like free toiletries, towels, and a toilet with electronic bidet. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with a stovetop and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
