Dantoukan Kikunoya

I booked two nights at this place to experience real Japanese accommodations. We ended up leaving after one night because the place was extremely cold and uncomfortable. I can't believe the amount of money they charged us. It's a ripoff. Yes they have Japanese set up in the room, futons and authentic breakfast. We had rooms with tubs which were more expensive. The place was freezing, the stone tub is protected from the outside by the bamboo shade. The shower is next to the tub right outside. I did use it and it was very uncomfortable. Sleeping on futons is ok but the room was cold. Breakfast is for hardcore Japanese. We just had rice and miso soup. Location is terrible. No restaurants around or anything else.

Excellent place to stay! Breakfast each morning and dinner was fabulous. Could not of asked for more in the services they provided. It was a great experience to stay at a traditional style inn. Thank you to the staff for their graciousness and hospitality. I definitely would return again.

My friend and I were hesitant to stay here, because it was off from the central Kyoto. BUT, coming here was a great choice we made. This is the ideal Ryokan. It is clean, has very peaceful and calm environment, and we had their in-room kaiseki dinner at a reasonable price. Totally worth it. We booked a room with a private bath, and that really made our stay there memorable. The room provided choices of Japanese robe, yukata to wear, along with ladies setting up our futons for us. On top of the great service and special experiences, they provided us the hotel shuttle to take us to the train station the check out morning. I would totally recommend this place:) Oh, and colorful delicious seasonal ingredients breakfast included was a cherry on top!

First, I have to say the staff was very friendly with us! We had one of the room with mini onsen in the room and it was perfect for us. The breakfast were beautiful and delicious (the miso soup with the little shells was my favorite!)! We also had dinner one evening and we were once again amazed at the size and quality of the meal. We had a very relaxing stay overall!

Great ryokan with onsen in room!! Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Loved it!!

I really liked this hotel. It had everything I needed.

Nice service and comfrontable. Free shuttle bus from the railway to the hotel. A good place to relax

We spent 4 nights at Dantoukan. The staff struggled with English and we struggled even more with our Japanese but they were very kind. Our traditional room was very clean with bath, shower and balcony. The food was truly delicious and beautifully presented & the onsen hot baths an added bonus. Not the most picturesque end of lake, but only 30 mins to Kyoto, (hotel shuttles you to ogotoonsen station). I would certainly return. Thank you Dantoukan Kitunoya!

The service was very friendly and professional, the rooms were clean and the food was great but the hotel was showing quite a bit of wear and tear and it was in an area that was pretty barren and run-down. It felt like a has been place. There were no restaurants or anything nearby.
