Easy access to Kyoto station but if you have luggage it's slightly farther than you would think, without luggage very quick access.

Massage was great. ##### Alexandra Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clifford Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As far as price for what you get, this Ryokan offers incredible hospitality and service for a fraction of the price of some the pricier Ryokan around town. You can rent a private onsen for a mere ¥1000 per hour, a nice reprieve after a day out and about on your feet. With breakfast included, this location should be well consideree for your Japanese Ryokan experience. Thank you from my wife and I. ##### Clifford Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lineker Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Ryokan experience. I’ve stayed in my fair share of Ryokans and this offers that experience with a western flair. Each room has private bathrooms but there is a private onsen bath on location you can reserve. We stayed in a more traditional room which had a tatami room with futon beds. It’s a good compromise if you’re not ready to be in a shared onsen! ##### Lineker Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Salome Nov 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Matsubaya Ryokan is a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station where many food options are available. There is a convenience store in between. We split our time in Kyoto between this ryokan and a modern hotel near Kyoto Station. The modern hotel was wonderful, however, it will in time be blended in with all the other wonderful hotels we've stayed at, while it's unlikely we'll forget the traditional Japanese experience we got at the ryokan. We had a deluxe room with garden view. It was clean and had everything we needed. The futon beds were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that we couldn't turn off the lights at night while keeping the air-conditioning on at the same time. We opted for a Japanese breakfast - booking ahead of time is a must - and we really enjoyed it (we even learned from our host the correct way to eat the rice, namely, wrapping it in the seaweed wraps provided). In short, we recommend this ryokan if you're looking for a traditional Japanese experience in a reasonably-priced ryokan. ##### Salome Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia C Nov 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities it was worth it to see. loved that it was different and had the japanese cultural element. building was not traditional but i was won over by the breakfast staff and robes. near to every where ##### Claudia C Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aprilyn Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Especially loved the whole experience of staying in a traditional Japanese inns. ##### Aprilyn Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle Nov 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is in a perfect location, a few blocks from Kyoto station it is quiet but close enough to explore the areas around Kyoto. ##### Kyle Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great. ##### Brett Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet and peaceful ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I was really looking forward to staying at an authentic Ryokan and it didn't disappoint.
