KIKU House is a newly renovated Kyoto home that brings together the warmth and character of traditional Japanese living with the comfort and understated luxury of a contemporary home.
The renovation has been carefully designed to preserve the Japanese atmosphere of the house while introducing modern finishes, comfort, and functionality. Natural materials, traditional details, and a calm aesthetic are complemented by a fresh, contemporary interior, creating a space that feels distinctly Kyoto without sacrificing modern convenience.
The bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed—a particularly welcome feature for couples or guests staying for an extended period. The house is designed to feel spacious, peaceful, and comfortable for everyday living, whether you are in Kyoto for a few weeks or several months.
2 toilets - ground floor and second floor; 2 bedrooms, each has a Tatami and flooring combination; both bedrooms have a working desk.
KIKU House is ideal for visiting academics, professionals, couples, or a small family looking for something beyond a standard furnished rental: a home where traditional Japanese character and contemporary luxury coexist naturally.
Location & Neighborhood
The house is tucked away in a quiet alley beside a beautiful canal lined with sakura trees. The canal runs north to south and provides a pleasant walking route, with particularly beautiful greenery and seasonal blossoms.
Kyoto Imperial Palace is only about a 7-minute walk away, giving you easy access to one of Kyoto’s largest green spaces for walking, jogging, picnics, or simply enjoying the gardens.
Daily life is very convenient, with three major supermarkets within approximately a 5-minute walk. Nijo Castle is also nearby, together with a traditional mochi shop and a lively local shopping street where you can discover cafés, small shops, pop-up galleries, live music, and a mix of old and contemporary Kyoto.

Cancellation Policy
You can cancel the reservation for free within 30 days before moving.
If you cancel your booking 30 days or more before the move-in date, you’ll get a refund of the entire first rent. If you cancel your booking up to 14 days before the move-in date, you’ll get a refund of half of the first rent. If you cancel your booking less than 13 days before the move-in date, you won’t get a refund of the first rent. The service fee is always refundable. If you send a message to Flatio's Support Team requesting cancelation of the booking ("termination from the start date") within 48 hours after the lease agreement becomes valid, you're entitled to get back all the money you paid for the service fee. After 48 hours, you're entitled to a refund of the service fee in the form of a "voucher" equal to the amount of the service fee you paid. The voucher can be used for your next booking and is valid for 12 months. If the service fee for your next booking is lower than the voucher amount, we'll issue you a new voucher for the remaining amount, valid for 12 months.
Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
