RYOKAN GINKAKU KYOTO

great place!

A wonderful stay in Kyoto - perfect for people who are interested in Japanese style accommodations, but with an updated, modern twist. We had a meal plan, and the breakfast and dinners were amazing, traditional Japanese set meals that can be a little hard to find on a budget. Public baths were our favorite part of the stay (as they usually are when we stay at a place with onsen or sento facilities), and there are laundry facilities on site for you to do laundry as well. Staff was super attentive and nice - we had complimentary welcome tea on our first afternoon, and they organized a lot of different activities and performances for the new year holiday. The special new years meals were also a treat, as I was worried if we’d be able to eat osechi and ozoni to ring in the new year as we do at home…but I didn’t have to worry at all as they had all the special and festive new year’s foods for breakfast and dinner for us. Location is also super convenient - just a couple blocks from Kyoto Station for easy access to trains and taxis.

Cannot beat this location, near train station, restaurants, shopping, and just about everything you want for a young family. Extremely clean and well maintained.

Clean and tidy rooms with very friendly staff. Great location for proximity to Kyoto station, shopping and food.

Awesome place to stay for a few days in Kyoto as a foreigner. Close to some late-night food options, and nearby the train/bus station for easy access to the various activities in Kyoto. It was fun staying in a ryokan, the staff was extremely helpful, and the hotel itself was very clean and new-feeling. Would stay here again if I return to Kyoto.

My family and I stayed for one night to experience a ryokan stay. The rooms were minimal, but clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the kaiseki dinner and breakfast. There was a lot of food and it was filling. It was the perfect stop from Osaka before heading to Tokyo the next day.

a beautiful ryokan. Very spacious with an excellent public bath.

Really recommend! Staff is really nice! Lo recomiendo! Empleados son muy amables

Very close to the station. Very spacious room.

Great staff! Very polite, accommodating and welcoming. The Ryokan was very clean and quiet. The onsen wa great too! I know it’s public but the times I went to the Onsen, was the only one there. The traditional Japanese breakfast was also great. It compliments the traditional Japanese stay I wanted to experience.
