Vacation rentals near Arashiyama Onsen

The moment we walked down the lane and opened the front door we were amazed by the historical surroundings and beauty. We wanted to experience authentic Japanese living and this did not fail us. The host left several restaurant recommendations and places to visit close by. Also provided details of other means of transportation. Such a great experience!!!

We stayed for eleven nights while visiting family and friends. The accomodation instantly felt like our home away from home and the hosts we're always available to answer any of our questions.We would definitely recommend this location to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Excellent location for quiet and easy walking to the action or nature. Host was very rdponsive and friendly.

This was such an amazing stay. I wish we could have stayed longer just to enjoy this VRBO. We are a family of 5 with three teens and had enough space to sleep with the 5 futons. The stairs to the sleeping area could be a challenge for a person with mobility challenges. The house has been beautifully restored by its amazing owners who met us at checkin to give us a tour of this unique space. The nearby area gives you easy access to subways, Gion, Yasaka shrine and lots of shopping. This space ranks as one of our familys top VRBO stops of all time. Highly highly recommend.

Enso-an is a beautiful place to stay! The home is lovely, and had more space than we could use. Due to all the wood, it smells like heaven when you walk in! The beds were very comfortable, the washer/ dryer worked perfectly. The water pressure was amazing - seems silly to mention, but we had some chilly weather, so coming home to a great shower or (very deep) bath was a real treat. The whole vibe of this home was wonderful. It was well stocked with all supplies. It has a nearby Lawson, and the bus stop is close by. Easy to get to everywhere, and close to many things that we wanted to see. This was our favourite stay of the Japan trip. We did have a couple days over the weekend with no response from the host, but we were not asking a pressing question. We were allowed to leave our luggage at the home after check out so that we could squeeze in a couple more Kyoto sights before heading back to Tokyo, which was really very helpful. We would %100 stay again at this dream! Highly recommend!

Quiet house. Very private. Perfect area for visitors to the city. The house had everything we needed. We used the second bedroom upstairs as a sitting area. Air con worked well. Western style bed comfortable though a little small. Washer/drier worked well. Note that the stairs in the house are very steep. Communication was excellent with host. Lovely experience to stay in a Japanese home.

We liked being in a good neighborhood close to many interesting sites but away from the tourist congestion. Mark was a very responsive host.

Perfect house that combined traditional with modern. We loved the location. It was so easy to communicate with the property manager and team. They were so kind when they greeted us and were happy to help. Would recommend this place for sure!
