Located in Kyoto, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Your feet will make short work of the 11-minute walk to Yasaka Shrine or the 13-minute walk to Shijo Street. Check out other neighborhoods and see more of Kyoto by hopping on a metro at either Higashiyama Station, a short 7-minute walk away, or Keage Station, 8 minutes away.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features luggage storage, a safe, climate-controlled air-conditioning, and a desk. Enjoy the free WiFi and TV. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and free toiletries. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with a stovetop and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets, climate-controlled heating, limited housekeeping, and wardrobe or closet.
