"Ryokan Ginkaku offered a fantastic experience living in a traditional Japanese room but in a new building. It is very clean and spacious. We chose the wide room with private bath, which is very enjoyable. The traditional breakfast is fantastic (but for those who do not like fish for breakfast, perhaps better to skip this option). Locationwise, it is very close to Kyoto central station. Plenty of foods in the station Porta Dining. Close to bus stops too. Highly recommended."

"'Shoes off, Yakata wearing' traditional Japanese experience! Very comfortable and warming. With tattoo restrictions on many Onsens and Sauna facilities around Japan, the private onsens here make it accessible. You can stay on the quiet side of the river or head over the bridge for the hustle and bustle. Very breathtaking area. Highlight was the traditional breakfast and dinner. So much food with such a huge variety. Would go back again if I was in the Kyoto area. "

"A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed....

"When I first tried this hotel, I used the daily use onsen. I fee; in love with the cave onsen. We now stay at least two nights ove night to use the floor 33 onsen as well as the cave onsen. They have a nice breakfast and dinner buffet. We like the Western style room with western beds as well as a living room/dining room that you can have the Japanese futons."

"A very unique one night only experience. The property is immaculate. The dinner was a wonderful tasting of many things I had never tried, all very good and filling. Breakfast was not as good. The hotel staff was very accommodating and kind. The morning prayer was peaceful and beautiful. The only complaint is the sleeping mats are paper thin and extremely uncomfortable, even after placing one on top of the other with all the blankets it was nearly unbearable. Neith my wife nor I got more than...

"This is a charming historic ryokan. We loved the traditional breakfast we had each morning and the kaiseki dinner on our last night. The onsen is also terrific. The location truly can’t be beat. 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. "

"We had a wonderful experience here. When looking I was worried that it would be in a more industrial setting, but the road ended up being surprisingly quiet and the Hongan-Ji temple across the street was beautiful outside and inside. We paid for the temple view room and that was impressive to look at. The staff were over the top kind and helpful and seemed very proud of their work. The food was also over the top. Dinner was extravagant a few items were the best I've had of that category (seared...

5/5 Excellent

"It’s a great premise to stay especially if you want to go to USJ, it’s clean and spacey for 4 people , and the train station nearby is nice too, it has great connection to other major tourist areas. The only downside is the laundromat, it needs to be upgraded to cashless so people don’t have to go find some small change to do the laundry, luckily there is konbini nearby. "

"This was a fabulous stay. We loved all the amenities and the onsen. We stayed in a quad room (4 twin beds). It was spacious and including a dining area and two toilets. It was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed soaking in the onsen and having snacks after walking all day. Also easy to use laundry room- just need 100¥ coins to operate. Great stay!"

"Of the 3 APA properties we stayed at this one was the best. The facilities were spotless (not that others weren't clean) and beautiful and the service exceed expectations. I asked to upgrade the room to get a bit more space and they were willing and made it happen despite high occupancy. Fast moving elevators and nice amenities! "
