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

Apple House is a comfortable, well furnished property in lovely Shugakuin, Kyoto City. Rather than staying in a hotel or apartment, you can live in 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 ) as an alternative to walking or public transport.

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. You will be met at a convenient station, driven to Apple House and can settle in with plenty of English information provided.

Notes

  • Our rental contracts are very reasonable, and depend on the number of people and season.
  • Maximum 4 people. We can only accept payment in Japanese Yen and the US dollar rates quoted will change with the exchange rate. The nightly rate varies between JPY 9,000 and JPY 16,000 depending on the number of guests and the season.

    We ask guests to pay for utilities used - these usually total a few hundred Yen per day.

    Discounts are available for long stays.
  • We collect guests from the local subway station, drive them to Apple House and help them to settle in. Apple House is in a lovely conservation area of Kyoto City where guests can really feel how ordinary Japanese people live. The location is very peaceful but very convenient for local shops and accessing other parts of the city. Guests often comment about how they 'truly feel at home' and how well they sleep at night - important after a busy day of temple-hopping or shopping!

We loved the hospitality and the neighbourhood!

  • Submitted: Jun 18, 2013
  • Stayed: Jun 2013
Thank you so much for the opportunity to experience the real Japan. We have loved the hospitality and the neighbourhood and it was so lovely to have somewhere to spread out and play with our two young children. I'm not going to lie - tatami mat beds aren't going to replace our mattress at home but we loved the experience nonetheless. Thank you again!

Enjoyed our living space

  • Submitted: Jun 18, 2013
  • Stayed: Jun 2013
We enjoyed our stay at the Apple House. It was a very pleasant experience. After getting the 2-day bus/subway pass, we traveled everywhere. I loved going for an early morning run up to the temple and around the neighborhood.

The beds were so comfortable and also the blankets. We enjoyed our living space. Everything was so convenient; gas range, microwave, washing machine, etc. It was fun talking to the neighbors.

We didn't get to ride the bicycles. Next time! Thank you!

A ton of fun to tour around by bicycles!

  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: Jun 2013
Thank you so much for picking us up from the subway! After 10 days of battling trains and subways by yourself, it was nice to have someone meeting you at the other end.

I wanted to come to Japan to celebrate my 30th birthday and I wanted to end in Kyoto. The house was AMAZING and I LOVE the bikes! It was a ton of fun to tour around and see the sights.

We recommend the Kitayama Ramen for dinner, the meal was wonderful and so were the owners. We also recommend Uliuli if you want a really really really good Hawaiian style burger (on Imadegawa St. west of Shirakawa St. You can't miss it, there is a big surf board on the front)!

It took 1 1/2 days to get to Japan and we don't want to go.

Experience Japanese-style living!

  • Submitted: May 30, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Apple House! It was such a pleasant change from staying in hotels. Plus, we got to experience Japanese-style living, which is impossible (really) in a hotel. Even though the house is located away from the city center, it was easy to use the bikes, buses and trams to get where we wanted very quickly.
For those visiting, the Philosopher's Path and Fushimi Inari Taisha are must-do's! The most exciting part of our stay in Kyoto (at least for my wife) was seeing 6 Geishas in Gion heading to their evening appointments. Wander the alleyways north of Shijo-dori and west of Yasaka Jinja (~17:00) for the best opportunities to see the Geishas. What beautiful clothes!
The highlight of my visit was attending a Japanese pro baseball game at Koshien Stadium. Although it rained off and on, the crowd was very loud and animated throughout the game! Thanks, Hiroko, for securing the tickets to the game!
We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Apple House and Hiroko's hospitality and willingness to help in any situation made our stay a great experience! We hope to travel back to Kyoto in the future and would love to again stay at Apple House!

Fantastic residence with meticulous information!

  • Submitted: May 30, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic residence for us. The home was wonderful with everything we needed available for us. Your meticulous information was very helpful and well used by us.
The Apple House is perfectly located and we easily found our way all over Kyoto as well as to Osaka and Nagoya. Shugakuin has many wonderful food places. We loved stopping in at Fresco for our breakfast ingredients, enjoyed a delicious dinner at Yamago and after a night of watching "Yakitate Japan", found Petit Chambord to provide just the type of breads and pastries we were after.
If we ever come back to the area, we will most certainly return to the Apple House.
There is no better way to start a morning than walking down the street and being greeted by deer!
Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
