We were easily able to walk to almost all of the places we wanted to visit. There are great bakeries, coffee shops and cafes just steps away. And finally the staff here is the best! They went above and beyond to welcome us and share a bit of Japanese culture with us. Highly recommend. ##### Hilary Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was fantastic to experience a more traditional Japanese style accommodation.

Overnachten in een Ryokan is een ervaring en zeker een must. Prijs van de kamers is hoog en misschien wel te hoog in vergelijking met hotel of andere ryokans. Maar het eten, apart bijboeken, is in een woord geweldig. Hotels.com gaf aan dat we met 5 op een kamer kunnen slapen, daarvoor is de kamer echt te klein en dat moet je ook niet willen. Gelukkig bood de Ryokan een extra kamer zonder kosten aan zodat we met 2 en 3 op een kamer sliepen. Dat is prima. In de kelder een fijne onsen. ##### Rutger Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chang Dec 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was the first time I stayed in a Ryokan. The etiquette and professionalism of the staff was above expectations. The Kaiseki dinner was good as any fine-dining experience I've had. The explanation of ingredient and preparation of each course was total bliss. Traditional Kyoto meals which focuses on the ingredients more than strong savoriness was perfect for my palette and soul. And I thank the elegant gentleman who greeted us and the young lady who explained the ryokan for being so gentle and professional. This ryokan stay made my Kyoto stay worthwhile. ##### chang Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phoebe Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff are amazing and make the futon bed for you!

We used the onsen once and had it all to ourselves. The traditional Japanese breakfasts were HUGE and delicious - a great way for me and my family to try foods we may not have otherwise. We stayed 4 nights and each days’ breakfasts were different. Some reviewers complained about the breakfasts being too small - I think that is because they didn’t purchase the full breakfast, which does cost more and is worth it. The hotel was a very short walk to Nishiki market. Convenient location and yet it was also very quiet. Would definitely stay again. ##### Jeracah Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jin Jin Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All the staff were very helpful and polite.

The bath was clean and relaxing. I especially felt honored by the formal welcome from the staff. They had a lady welcome me at the room and prepare green tea for me as she explained the facility. I had never stayed in a ryokan before, and my stay here was a great experience. Thank you all for enriching my life. Also, thank you for a restful place for during my tiring travels. I felt blessed to be there. ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ケイスケ Mar 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 素晴らしい旅館です。 ##### ケイスケ Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Vischio-Kyoto-By-GRANVIA.h30990875.Hotel-Information)  > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Gallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Gallery.h9795712.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nohga-Hotel-Kiyomizu-Kyoto.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [THE BLOSSOM KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-BLOSSOM-KYOTO.h76497805.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL M’s EST KYOTO STATION SOUTH](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-Ms-EST-KYOTO-STATION-SOUTH.h23513455.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Kyoto.h37609460.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RICHMOND-HOTEL-PREMIER-KYOTO-EKIMAE.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel M’s Plus Shijo - Omiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ms-Plus-Shijo-Omiya.h16621109.Hotel-Information) > > [Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miyako-Hotel-Kyoto-Hachijo.h26999.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Brighton-Hotel.h919.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Mitsui-Kyoto.h57209082.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information)
