"Authentique ryokan, on vit au sol!"

8.0

C'est au calme et proche des stations de bus (5mn) ou métro (13mn). C'est bien pour des personnes souples qui peuvent se contenter d'une table tres basse comme unique meuble de la pièce.

Une chaise ou un tabouret ne serait pas un luxe pour les raides comme moi! Quelques tablettes pour déposer ses affaires seraient aussi un plus.

"The most restful, cleanest, elegant and beautiful, traditional stay ever"

10.0

Staying at Rakucho Ryokan in Kyoto was an absolute highlight—every detail of the space is impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and intuitively arranged so everything feels effortless, simple, and perfectly placed for comfort and ease. I had the deepest, most restorative sleep every night, and truly some of the best moments of my trip were spent enjoying the calm, beautifully considered atmosphere. With its ideal walking distance to stunning botanical gardens, the river, charming coffee spots, shopping streets, and authentic local restaurants, it’s become one of our favorite places to stay in Kyoto—far beyond just its great value.
