Conveniently located in central Kyoto, Ryokan KANADE offers a Japanese-style garden. Among the facilities of this property are a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room includes a terrace. Kyoto Station is a 15-minute drive from this property. If you’re considering a stay in Kyoto, stop thinking and start booking—Ryokan Kanade is the place to be! The staff? Sugoi. The atmosphere? Even more sugoi. Every detail feels like it was crafted with care, kindness, and the spirit of omotenashi. I only wish they could help me find a lovely Japanese lady to marry so I could stay in Kyoto forever, but I suppose that’s the one service not included! 😉 Truly, a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Ryokan Kanade. You made Kyoto feel like home. 11/10 experience. Arigatou gozaimashita!

Some units in the ryokan have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and tatami. Units are complete with a private bathroom, while certain units at the ryokan also provide guests with a seating area. The breakfast service was a highlight of our stay! The beautiful decor, authentic experience with the irori bbq made in front of you was incredible. Everything was delicious, with strong attention to detail giving you a humble luxury that feels typically Japanese. The room was simply gorgeous and the bed incredibly comfortable. The complementary items (late night soba, stocked fridge) made it even more special and intentional.

Ryokan Sumiya Kihoan offers a hot spring bath and a hot tub, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Kameoka, 13 km from Oyamazumi Shrine. This 4-star ryokan offers a lift and free shuttle service. There is a restaurant serving Japanese cuisine, and free private parking is available. Worth every cent! What an experience! I wasn't sure at first (as I had the whole responsibility on me to decide for the group I was with) and if you're on a budget like we were, well this is a spend ..BUT..so happy I booked Ryokan Sumiya Kihon. As a tattooed group we had to rent private. It was hilarious to be butt naked with your best friends and ridiculously relaxing. The food is delicious. Breakfast= huge but Dinner = a little small for our crew. (Spanish/Australian mix). It's fine. Just bring snacks ;).

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, 祇園の宿 杏花 is located in Kyoto, 300 metres from Gion Shijo Station and 600 metres from Samurai Kembu Kyoto. Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan features family rooms. So quaint and pretty, we had room 102, which had a lovely tatami floor bedroom and a separate double bedroom, super comfortable and designed, with little zen gardens outside each bedroom. The staff were lovely, they even came with me to help me find the launderette, went to the post office, just charming and helpful. Location in Gion was awesome too - the nicest part of Kyoto, quiet and traditional.
