Kyoran-Ruantei

Located in Kyoto, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Your feet will make short work of the 11-minute walk to Kawaramachi Street or the 10-minute walk to Heian Shrine. Check out other neighborhoods and see more of Kyoto by hopping on a metro at Higashiyama Station, just a short 14-minute walk away.

After you return, you can unwind in the private hot tub or sip a drink in the garden. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the LCD TV (first-run movies available).

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a sitting area, a dining area, a memory foam bed, and premium bedding. You can also use the rainfall showerhead and spring water bathtub, plus other bathroom amenities like free toiletries, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with a stovetop, a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, and a freezer, as well as an electric kettle, an ice maker, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
