Kyoto Watazen Ryokan

Beautiful traditional ryokan stay.

It felt very old fashioned (in a good way), the service was amazing, but it

Too small no place to put anything Staff very friendly Facility outdated

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.

It was fantastic to experience a more traditional Japanese style accommodation. The futon beds were really comfortable. Trying the Japanese breakfast was well worth it and the fried tofu in miso was delicious. It is great to find accommodation who goes above and beyond to be sustainable. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Amazing location and the traditional Japanese ryokan experience every traveler should have! Get the breakfast, it was delicious. Excellent service.

We felt very welcomed. Amazing hospitality. Room service at its best and great treats! Hotel is very clean. Hotel bath is spotless and relaxing. Food is very tasty.

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. The explanation of ingredient and preparation of each course was total bliss. Traditional Kyoto meals which focuses on the ingredients more than strong savoriness was perfect for my palette and soul. And I thank the elegant gentleman who greeted us and the young lady who explained the ryokan for being so gentle and professional. This ryokan stay made my Kyoto stay worthwhile.

The staff are amazing and make the futon bed for you! Traditional Japanese breakfast was memorable. Tea ceremony was a nice touch upon arrival!

This is a beautiful property with great amenities. we loved this traditional Japanese ryokan and the breakfast served was very good. The area was also very convenient to shopping, restaurants and scenic places.
