Kyoto was our last stop before coming back to the States, and we were exhausted. Our hostess greeted us with cool tea (it was VERY hot at this time, so this was wonderful), and showed us a map of the area. The area itself is gorgeous. If you're looking for the old Japan, here it is. Walking down the narrow alley was just too cool. My husband was worried that he wouldn't sleep well on the futon, but we were very comfortable for both nights. On our second night, our hostess brought us some seasonal fruit. Our view was nothing, and the hallway wasn't air-conditioned, but I have nothing but VERY pleasant memories of our stay in Kyoto. We are planning on returning to Kyoto after I finish my next degree, and we are probably going to be back in Tanaka-ya. ##### Cassidy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is by far the nicest place we stayed.

The check-in hours are a bit limited, but this is because of the nature of this ryokan (traditional style house). The walls are thin so you have to be careful not to be noisy and disrupt your neighbours. There's also one bathroom and shower that gets shared with others. It's not inconvenient and is a nice experience of a traditional Japanese house. The hotel is located in Gion, where you'll regularly see geisha going to work so keep your eyes open around dusk! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SoYeong Dec 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 매우 좋아요!!! 친구와 같이갔는데 매우 만족 그자체! 사실 이것저것 따지는 편은 아니라서 까다로운 사람들에게는 잘 모르겠지만 일본 전통 가옥을 느끼고 싶고 또 인심좋으신 주인분을 만나고 싶다면 적극추천! 진짜 저는 혼자 교토여행을 또 계획중인데 한번더 여기서 머물것같습니다 감사했습니다><\*\* ##### SoYeong Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The tatami room, the futon, my gracious hostess in her kimono, made me feel I was experiencing Kyoto as I wouldn’t have if I’d stayed in a generic hotel room. The location is amazing - I could easily walk or take the subway using a combination of the assistance of the Tourist Information personnel in the nearby subway station, and Google maps on my phone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### M, Osnabrück Oct 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Seht schön ruhig und gute Lage.

Perfectly located, easy walk to metro and main shopping area. The Keihan line serves some of the main sights. Its a bit tricky to find at first but from Kyoto statation take: JR Nara Line to Tofukuji. Change to Keihan metro (note: if you have a JRPass, press the button at the gate and show it to the webcam) from Tofukuji to Gion-shijo . At Gion-shijo follow the signs to Ebisu shrine. This will take you to street level via very long corridor. When you get to the street turn right, then right again. This is a nice street to walk along to see Geishas, about 3/4 down (some way past the small painted Geisha statue) take the first left when you reach vending machines on the right, (there is a small little torii gate on the wall at kerb height), then right at the bottom. Tanaka-ya is located on the left. You can only see the sign from one direction. The lady is really friendly showed us a map of the area and good sights to see. She also left a little box of fruit for us. You do have to be quiet, but not too bad just more respectful than chain hotels. The shower is shared, I could only find 1 but it isn't "communal" as such. Its just one at a time with a lockable door. There were 2 toilets which wasn't an issue. The room was comfortable and warm/aircon. It also had a good WiFi connection. It felt homely and she welcomed you in to her home. If I went back to Kyoto I would stay here. ##### Gary Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariana, Vancouver Sep 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excelent.

Very close to the station but far enough to provide a quiet bedtime. Traditional Ryokan house. The owner resides on the first floor. Community bathroom is also on the first floor. It is clean and minimal toiletries are provided. Steep climb to second and third level. Each level has its own sink and toilet for community use. Take note that AC is only experienced in each quarter. It is not centralized ac which means the community area are very hot. Owner requested to turn off ac each time we leave our room for the day. Take note that when we were there in mid-July, Kyoto was experiencing record heat of 40C. So you can imagine the heat we had to endure while outside and when we came back, another wave of heat inside the Tanaka we had to bear and had to wait for the room to get cold since AC was turned off during daytime. Overall, this is the only "negative comment" i have of the place. Water for each guest is provided along with coffee mugs for hot/cold water from the fountain. The owner provided welcome tea and snacks and offered maps for the surrounding areas. ##### George Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugues Aug 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A vivement recommandé Accueil très chaleureux. La propriétaire offre des fruits aux clients. Ryokan en plein cœur d un quartier historique. Très vivement recommandé. Hélas pendant notre séjour l annexe du ryokan (située à 200 mètres de la partie principale) à brûler dans un feu de ce quartier historique. Cela fat du chagrin pour cette sympathique hôtesse et pour la disparition d une partie de ce quartier historique. ##### Hugues Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Johanna, Amsterdam Jun 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sfeervol verblijf in geisha-wijk Het 140-jaar oude pand is met veel oog voor detail ingericht.

Run by lovely people who gave us gifts and helped during our stay. Excellent central location. Good for geisha spotting. As this is an old property and the walls are super thin consider ear plugs if a light sleeper...and maybe an eye mask (rooms v light) ##### Alexander Miles ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We were looking for a traditional ryokan to stay in and that's exactly what we got. We stayed in the annex, in the historical geisha district. it is about a 20 minute walk to Kyoto station or a 15 minute bus ride. The bathrooms are shared with the other guests, but there was never a wait. It is a wonderful place to stay, and if we're in Kyoto again we will stay here again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Siamo stati benissimo.

We were taken to an annex, which I confess I didn't like at first, but the kindness of the proprietors and the ease to settle in the traditional japanese room erased all of my reserves. The proprietors were very nice, had wonderful details (presenting us with fresh strawberries and chocolate) and the place was squeaky clean. Heating was adequate and the facilities were in general good. I would stay there again anytime. ##### Alfredo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hector Apr 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good experience, in excellent location. Perfect location, with good connections to a lot of sites of interest. Also easy to reach Kyoto Station. Toilets and shower are shared, so keep that in mind if you are looking for privacy. We found everyone was respectful of the rules and kept the shared areas clean. Beds were comfortable for us, only thing is ceilings are really low. If you are a really tall person (I’m 182 cm tall), you might find it cumbersome. All in all, great value for money, and would definitely go back. ##### Hector ### 10/10 Excellent #### setareh Mar 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay!!
