Seikoro Ryokan

We splurge and glad we did. This was one of the highlight of our trip to Japan. We could have booked a cheaper place but wanted the real deal.... and we were not disappointed. The architecture was authentically exquisite, the service like no other place in the world (we have been most everywhere), the food 1st class, and the bath a real joy. We were so happy. Our memories of this place will last a lifetime.

It is a real gem, very typical and well kept. The staff is incredibly caring and kind. The food is very good and the onsen very nice. Definitely recommended

Seikoro Ryokan is truly unique. After 23 business trips to Japan over the last decade, I finally took a vacation trip with my wife to see what I had missed. We decided inKyoto to stay at a traditional Ryokan as opposed to the normally outstanding Japanese major hotels. We made the right decision. This was an ethereal 3 days in every way, room was awesome, the breakfasts and one Kaiseki dinner was sublime and service was over the top. This was as an authentic experience as can be had. It was absolutely worth taking my shoes off every time we walked in.

Amazing stay in Kyoto. The most hospitable staff I have ever met. Can’t recommend this place enough as a stay in Kyoto. We would happily stay again.

Excellent

The hospitality here was on another level, staff was so sweet and lovely. Anytime we came in or out of the ryokan, they would help us take out/put away our shoes. And when we left, the staff walked us out and waited until we were out of sight to go back in! I would def come back for a longer stay next time

The staff in this ryokan is very helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for visiting Gion. The property is clean, and the staff can communicate well in English, I highly recommend this place for international travelers.

Traditional living experience. Great service but a little far from ‘attractions’ . Easy commute via train/ taxi

The staff here is extremely friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like royalty. I wish I stayed longer. Such a unique experience, I highly recommend it. The place is very unique as well and gives you an old Japan vibe. If I’m ever back in Kyoto, I’d stay here in a heartbeat! Thank you Seikoro!

This was definitely an unique cultural experience. I highly recommend it. We were immediately greeted by the nicest and most considerate staff. Our room was spacious and the private bath suite was key. We also had the Japanese set breakfast meticulously served in our room. Overall an excellent stay.
