Owner was so kind and informative. He gave us a free room upgrade which was such a wonderful surprise! He also kept our luggage safe before we arrived and helped us ship it to our next destination. He made this stay feel like a home away from home, so we were excited to come back each night. There is a mall super close by which was convenient. By far the best place we've stayed at in Japan. Looking forward to going back! ##### Emily Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Okaerinasai (Traditional warm welcome) Amazingly friendly host will give insider tips to travelers about the hidden gems of Kyoto. Actually deserves at least three stars for exceptional service, clean and high quality facilities, quiet but convenient for travel location. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68789F20C1B3FE60498B3F38E84DA279317C23D41722925690813.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front Garden](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A7F4FACA9BEFE72E2A93CDE0261F6FA39FB2D9FF1722925701962.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Large window view, quiet neighborhood](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FCF33E59ACA3A8EB73349C2F6FD41842C16DBB511722925702705.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Could not be happier about my 2 days stay at Rakucho ryokan. The room was perfect: clean, quiet, the futon super confortable and the showers/toilets clean and surprisingly quite modern. The host was very welcoming and offered really great suggestions for my stay. The small bike rental shop he suggested (“Bike laboratory”) really made my trip to Kyoto a memorable one. I arrived earlier than check in time, but was able to leave my luggage in a locker in the close by subway station and took this time opportunity to visit the awesome Kyoto botanical garden, a short walk away. Will definitely return. ##### Diane Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anahi Nov 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lugar muy tranquilo y limpio. ##### Anahi Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helene Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le propriétaire des lieux est très accueillant et disponible ##### Helene Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ゆうすけ Nov 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 宿自体はめっちゃよかったです。コスパめっちゃ良い、ただ隣の人がうるさかった。 ##### ゆうすけ Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gilles Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent accueil, chambre ok que du bonheur ##### gilles Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tomomi Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities めちゃくちゃ綺麗で、お風呂とトイレは共同ですが、すごく清潔感があり、申し分無かったです。 ##### Tomomi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viktor Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Viktor Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gentaro Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Gentaro Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laureen Apr 8, 2024 ##### Laureen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ##
