Ryokans in Kyoto Prefecture

"Staff went far beyond what we expected. Every single person was always accommodating and helpful. The room was magnificent. In hindsight I think a regular tub would have been enough. The huge ceramic outside tub was beautiful, but being from California and drought conditions I felt guilty filling up the huge tub every night. Also eloquent, but if you are seniors, or have any hip/back complaints, there were multiple stairs inside our room. Although shallow, two up at entry. Two down for...

"The Toshiharu Ryokan was a great way to start our trip in Kyoto! It was a fun way to experience a traditional Japanese house and the staff was excellent. The bath was super relaxing and the Japanese traditional breakfast was delicious. "

"A great Ryokan in the city! Bonus: a renovated Onsen! Rooms were traditional and clean. Not your western experience as there are no beds or in-room shower, but we slept like a baby! Staff super friendly. Highly recommended!"

"I had a lovely stay and enjoyed the proximity and the amenities of the hotel immensely. I can’t wait to be back again. Hopefully, soon. "

"Loved the view of mountain. The air was fresh. Staffs were very kind and the food was delicious. Their private onsen is a must-try. Enjoyed the stay! "

"was a lovely (japanese style) room"

"Rooms are mostly on the second level. Not so appropriate for those who have problem climbing."

"Spacious rooms and great dinning. Walking distance to Nanzenji temple, which has beautiful garden with amazing autumn colours."

"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.

"Amazing. Absolutely amazing. The hospitality and experience of this ryokan was like a dream."

"The hospitality here was on another level, staff was so sweet and lovely. Anytime we came in or out of the ryokan, they would help us take out/put away our shoes. And when we left, the staff walked us out and waited until we were out of sight to go back in! I would def come back for a longer stay next time"

"A very nice place to stay for vacation. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is very spacious and clean. Just walk one block to the bus station and two block to the subway station. The buses are reaching to the temples and Kyoto station. No need to transfer. Very convenient."
