Staff were helpful and friendly, promptly replying to any queries online. As a Westerner (Spanish) I was worried about the futons being uncomfortable, but it was not the case at all. Highly recommended. ##### Diego Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Jul 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful 3 days at Shirakawa Kiraku Inn. The man who runs it is very helpful and has a very chill cat named Tama. He sent our bags to our next hotel and helped us find a pharmacy. It’s located in a historic district with beautiful streets, and in walking distance to shrines, temples, the best shopping and dining. Also we stayed at a very expensive Ryokan the following week and the futons were not as comfortable as here :)) ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ka Hing Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Sitting in a very nice and convenience location. ##### Ka Hing Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yurie Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 一階奥の庭付きの部屋をご用意していただけました。四畳半の部屋は私にちょうどよく、クーラーもついており、トイレとシャワーも近くて快適でした。 布団はセルフで敷くのですが、いつもベッドなので畳の上の布団に新鮮さを楽しめました。 チェックイン後の出入りは自由で、夜間はロックを暗証番号入力で出入り出来ます。 冷蔵庫はロビーの共用を利用しました。 猫のタマくんもタイミングが合えばお出迎えしてくれます。 シティホテルもよいですが、京都街中の畳の部屋もまた格別でした。 また来ようと思います。 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5cb2f14f-cf81-45b0-abde-d1c5e912b691-1756309054548.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7c91f78-0432-4a91-9e70-1796679fd9be-1756309054544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3e09103a-d419-43c6-b6ca-f1c524e2937b-1756309054382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cadbe60d-cf12-46c8-a01b-412e45791d31-1756309054412.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yurie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ilaria Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Struttura in stile giapponese con futon e bagno in comune. Il futon l’ho trovato molto comodo e in ogni caso una bellissima esperienza nel cuore del popolare centro di Gion di Kyoto. Zona molto tranquilla e sicura, a pochi passi dalla metro ed a 2 minuti dalla fermata del bus che collega la stazione di Kyoto. Proprietario molto cordiale e gentilissimo ad averci suggerito alcuni itinerari e punti di interesse di Kyoto. ##### Ilaria Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner was so sweet and polite, took the time to explain the area and the busses/subways and how to get to all the popular areas!

It was easy to get to from Kyoto Station with the bus 206 from the terminal right outside the station (alight after seeing Yasaka Shrine). Mr Kazo is a cat lover and a black and white senior cat is a resident at the inn. What's more is that the interior is decorated with cat images and figurines, even the signs that tell you to turn off the lights have cats doodled on them which puts a smile on your face. There is a mix of normal bed and traditional futon beds to choose from (we stayed in a 2 futon bed room), which is equipped with the necessities like charging ports and a tv we didnt need to use. Towels and pyjamas are provided with a small fee, which is used to supplement the cat's food. Washing machine and dryer is also located conveniently outside the bathroom (200 yen for washing 300 yen for dryer). It is a short walk (10-15min) to Gion where more food and night life is available. Highly recommended for animal lovers, simple living, and a peaceful stay. Thank you Mr Kazo and Tama the cat! ##### Mei Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kourai Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 三度目の利用です。 便利な立地に親切なオーナーさんのおかげで快適に過ごせました。 お値段なりの設備ですが、きれいに清掃されていて不快な感じは一切なかったです。 また機会があればお願いしたいです。 ##### kourai Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### IZUMI Apr 27, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities 安い為、ホテルみたいなサービスはありません。部屋にトイレやお風呂はついていない為共同が嫌な方はおすすめしないです。ただ、費用を抑えたい方などにはもってこいです。アットホームな感じでした。 ##### IZUMI Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### MIYUKI Feb 10, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness 微妙な外の音が気になりました。 ##### MIYUKI Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sunny Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 고양이가 너무 귀엽고 추천해준 아침 카페가 너무 맛있고 좋은 추억이 되었습니다. 다음에 또 방문하고 싶습니다. ##### Sunny Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 掃除が行き届いてない 全体的に掃除があまりされてなくて 不快でした。 お部屋は髪の毛落ちてたり、テーブルも埃かぶってました。　 共用スペースもあまり掃除されてなくて いくら安いとはいえ もう二度と泊まりたくないです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toru Nov 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 主人が気さくな方で声をかけてくださり、少しお話ししました。 とても京都らしい旅館で外装や内装も素敵でした。 ##### Toru ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enya Mar 3, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 到着時にお茶のサービスをしてくださったり、部屋をアップグレードしてくださったり、チェックアウト後も荷物を置かせてくださりと、とても快適な滞在を過ごすことができました。立地も最高で、とてもおすすめです。 ##### Enya Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yueyue Nov 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities オーナーは凄い優しい人でした！チェックアウト後も荷物預かっていただきましたm(\*\_ \_)mありがたいです!
