Photos and Description of the Kyoto vacation house rental 2 bedrooms, living room, diner/kitchen, bathroom, toilet. Maximum 4 guests.

Apple House is a comfortable, well furnished property in lovely Shugakuin, Kyoto City. Rather than staying in a hotel, guests can experience a typical Japanese house in a peaceful, yet very convenient neighborhood of Kyoto. Supermarkets, bakeries and other amenities are all within easy walking distance, as are bus and train services to other parts of Kyoto. We provide two bicycles ( with baskets ) so that guests can discover parts of the city that regular guided tours will not reveal. Some shrines and temples are very close by, and the excellent number 5 bus service takes you south along past the Silver Pavilion, Kyoto Handicraft Center, Nanzenji, Heian Shrine, Gion and through the congested city center to Kyoto Station. The owners live close by and speak both English and Japanese. Guests are met at a convenient station, driven to Apple House and can settle in with plenty of English information provided. See our website for more details, pictures and availability.

Apple House, Kyoto

D.T. Vancouver, Canada
Review Submitted: September 22, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
You have set up a beautiful home away from home for us. Everything has been thought of, from CDs to DVDs for kids to the green and red matching bikes. We thoroughly enjoyed it. D.T.

Other than our son's above remark, my wife & myself have had really a good time staying in Apple House. Knowing David, the owner, is also our great pleasure. Thank you. J.T.T.

Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We enjoyed our stay at the Apple House very, very much.
I stayed there with my wife and our adult daughter for almost a week during the cherry blossom season. I believe what we were able to experience at the Apple House was an extremely unique opportunity to live among and like the locals. When I told my brother, who keeps and apartment in Tokyo, about my stay at the Apple House he was shocked that I was able to find such a fantastic place to stay in Kyoto.
Owner's Response: Masanori - thank you for your comments. You three certainly had fantastic weather during your stay. Thank you for leaving the house so clean. We hope to see you all again some day!
Hiroko and David.

We found the Apple House to be a convenient springboard for discovering Kyoto. It’s proximity to the bus lines and train station allowed us to easily access Gion, Ginkaku-ji and the other highlights of Kyoto. The experience of an authentic Japanese house embedded within a typical neighborhood was a refreshing change from the sterile, upscale hotels in Tokyo. We were impressed by the thoughtfulness and consideration of the owners, a British expat and his Japanese wife. Greatly enjoyed his cross-cultural insights into what makes Japan and the Japanese so unique and interesting.
Owner's Response: Christina - thank you for your comments! It was a pleasure meeting you all last week. Also, thank you for leaving the house in such good shape.
Hiroko and David.

Two friends I made a ( truly )last minute reservation at Apple House on April 1 for three nights. We LOVED the house and the surrounding area. Extremely clean, comfortable and incredibly quiet at night.
Kyoto is much smaller than Tokyo, so Gion and the city center are easy to get to by bus. We actually spent every evening downtown ( there is no real nightlife near Apple House ) and took a cab back to sleep. David - thank you for picking us up on such short notice. We will certainly tell our friends in Tokyo about this "oasis" called Apple House!
Owner's Response: Mark - it really was last minute, wasn't it! You three certainly enjoyed yourselves. Many thanks for leaving the house so clean. David and Hiroko.
