Kyoto Watazen Ryokan

Best place to stay. Breakfast was amazing! I loved the friendly staff.

Our second stay. Wonderful ryokan. Excellent service

This was a wonderful, authentic stay! The staff was incredible as was the traditional Japanese breakfast each morning. We felt like we experienced a true ryokan experience and we are so glad we chose this route. Highly recommend the public bath for a hot soak too!

Excellent location near Nishiki market. Cost efficient for a group of 5, 18 years old boys. Sleeping arrangement was fun and the onsen was clean and enjoyable. While we were out, the staff lay out the futons and they hung dry our wet clothes. Thank you for the hospitality!

We loved our stay in this charming ryokan. Great location and only a block from Nishiki market. The service was friendly and helpful and they were very welcoming of our two small children. We had a lot of fun trying the traditional Japanese futons, baths and amazing breakfast.

It was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. The best ramen I’ve ever had in Japan is also 50 metres down the street. Amazing service and value!

Good experience, with Japanese traditional.

Welcoming staff guided us through the traditional ryokan experience. We used the onsen once and had it all to ourselves. The traditional Japanese breakfasts were HUGE and delicious - a great way for me and my family to try foods we may not have otherwise. We stayed 4 nights and each days’ breakfasts were different. Some reviewers complained about the breakfasts being too small - I think that is because they didn’t purchase the full breakfast, which does cost more and is worth it. The hotel was a very short walk to Nishiki market. Convenient location and yet it was also very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Great ryokan stay w traditional meals included or not (your preference) and public bath in basement. Super walkable - a block to nishiki market and next door to the cutest stationary store.

All the staff were very helpful and polite. Ms Hiroko especially went above and behond to assist us and we appreciate it. Beds were comfortable and traditional japanese breakfast was excellent
