Kyoto Watazen Ryokan

A fantastic traditional experience, but also very accessible for tourists. We loved the hospitality, food and location. Would recommend for sure.

This was the best place I stayed durung my first visit to Japan. I traveled throughout the country, and no place was better. It reminded me of staying at my grandmother's home when I was younger. The staff was especially kind and helpful. The bath was clean and relaxing. I especially felt honored by the formal welcome from the staff. They had a lady welcome me at the room and prepare green tea for me as she explained the facility. I had never stayed in a ryokan before, and my stay here was a great experience. Thank you all for enriching my life. Also, thank you for a restful place for during my tiring travels. I felt blessed to be there.

we had a great time here, the place was really well located, the staff was friendly and helpful, it was very comfortable. The hot bath was a huge plus.

Gorgeous ryokan. Breakfast hall and hotel room had nice view.

I was not sure of the place at first by seeing the pictures. But it was very nice and the people were very friendly. The place was very clean and we were very comfortable. The spot to be. Everything is walking distance

Unbelievably great services, amazing food, brilliant staff

It was a great experience to stay in a traditional inn. And we loved the traditional breakfast. The public bath was very clean and relaxing after a long day seeing the sights. Location was very central and easy to walk to many different areas. Staff was extremely welcoming and helpful and I would stay here again if I could!

Mr Kata at the front deak is very helpful and courteous. Clean Ryokan with wonderful kaiseki breakfast.

Fantastic service. Accomodated a lot for us

Really enjoyed our stay at this Classic small ryokan - older facility but this is as classic as it gets for a nice ryokan. 5 of us stayed in a tatami room for 2 nights . The meals were excellent. Called ahead and they accommodated vegan meals for one of us. Kaiseki was delicious and so beautifully presented. Japanese breakfast was great too. Wonderful staff. Be prepared to walk. Subway and bus stops nearby. Subway is a good 10-15 walk. Nearby is the Nishiki market which was great to walk around and enjoy snacks and buy souvenirs. The hot public bath downstairs to relax after a long sightseeing day was wonderful. - no one was there so we enjoyed it just by ourselves each night. Convenient coin laundry was a plus. Would highly recommend to those looking for a cozy ryokan with excellent meals. Bravo to the chefs - excellent Kaiseki!
