Guest Reviews

• Cindy (8/5): Presume experience to stay in an 100year old Ryokan in Japan - The overall house is so comfy, feel like home. Host were very helpful & patient. Tip top clean. Quiet neighbourhood is a plus point. Mainly locals surrounds Down side is , no toilet in 2nd floor, the stairs is a bit steep. Need to be careful when up & down to toilet / bath
• Sara (10/5): A perfect traditional stay - We had a lovely stay! The guesthouse is charming, a traditional Japanese house in a historic neighborhood. All the essentials are nearby and it's well connected to the center by bus. Everything was impeccably clean and well organized. The owners were really helpful and kind, they really went above and beyond to help us and make sure we had an unforgettable stay in Kyoto. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here!
• Thomas (10/5): Une expérience calme et authentique - Le lieu était très pratique, situé dans un quartier calme. Le logement était particulièrement propre et agrémenté de tout le nécessaire. La chambre était spacieuse pour 2 personnes et équipée de la climatisation. Nos hôtes ont été adorables et très souples pour notre arrivée. Rien de particulier !
• Katherine (10/5): I would stay here again and explore the neighborhood parks and old architecture again - The location was in a neighborhood without many traveler, and had many good restaurant choices. I enjoyed being away from the center of Kyoto The house is very old, with bathrooms only on the first floor.
• Lisa (10/5): Une belle découverte de l’hospitalité et de la culture traditionnelle japonaise - Le côté traditionnel de la maison magnifique et l’accueil de nos hôtes qui ont été adorables !
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• Kevin Matthew (8/5): -
• Rowena (10/5): Many thanks for a wonderful stay - Lovely warm welcome from proprietors It would be helpful to have the address written in Japanese so taxi drivers can find location
• Kathrin (10/5): Great traditional house / Excellent hosts - The hosts are excellent and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The home is incredibly clean and well equipped with everything one needs. English instructions were very helpful. The room with garden view is particularly special!
• Kim (10/5): - Unglaublich nette Gastgeber, sehr gute Anbindung und tolle Lage. Liebevolle, traditionelle Einrichtung und hoher Komfort. Sehr kinderlieb und nett! Das Zimmer mit Gartenblick war traunhaft.
• Nozomi (10/5): -
• YONEKAWA (10/5): - チェックイン時にホストが出迎えて抹茶と和菓子のサービスがありました。部屋の布団はふかふかで気持ち良く、部屋の掃除は行き届いています。西陣の観光についてもホストから説明がありました。私たちは歩いて約15分の源湯(銭湯)に行きました。薪で沸かすお湯、古い建物で情緒があります。北野天満宮まで歩いて2〜3分で、静かで落ち着いた散策に適した宿泊先です。
• Vasiliki (10/5): - Great accomodation, very beautiful ryokan, very nice and polite people.
• Dina (10/5): Absolutely amazing stay - We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hana. Hana and her family are super kind and helpful, the house was spotless and beds were very comfortable. I especially liked the location, it has a lot of local vibe and almost no tourists.
• Klara (10/5): Perfect stay, perfect hosts! -
• 中根 (9/5): -
• Laura (9/5): - L'accueil et les hôtes étaient formidables ! Elle nous a offert le thé à l’arrivée, nous a emmené aux alentours pour nous expliquer le quartier. Elle m’a fait essayer un kimono traditionnel. La maison était vraiment typique et très belle ! L'espace salle de bain est un peu petit, mais tout le nécessaire y était !
• Fabrice (9/5): Un beau séjour à Kyoto ! - Très bien reçu et chambre très agréable. Un peu éloigné de nos centres d’intérêts mais bien desservi par les transports en commun
• Jack (10/5): A perfect stay in Kyoto. - Had the most incredible stay. This Accomadation made our trip. The hosts are incredibly friendly and greeted us with Matcha and a tradition Japanese sweet treat. They helped in every way they could.I couldn’t recommend more!! They even helped plan our trip in Kyoto. The buses are frequent and will get you anywhere in Kyoto too.
• Sabela (10/5): Great experience! - We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. Everything was exceptionally clean and well cared for, which made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to dress in traditional kimonos—such a unique and memorable experience! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto.
• Magdalena (10/5): I highly recommend it - The hotel was very nice and the experience was great in a real Japanese home. The owners were wonderful. The room was spotlessly clean and everything was very well-prepared. The owners were very helpful and we had a wonderful experience with the kimono the owner lent us. Thank you so much.
• Hamish (10/5): Beautiful place, comfy, owner was amazing, offered to drive us around daily. overall very nice stay -
• Martynas (10/5): - The location was best to visit local attractions, esp. during the plum blossom in Kitano Tenmangu. The room and the garden were nice. The instructions on how to use the accommodations could be printed instead of shown around to save time. We loved the conversation though, it's just that we were in a bit of a hurry to see the surroundings... 😅
• Gwyneth (9/5): - I like the mix of modern and traditional cozy Japanese home. I couldn't stay longer.
• Trevor (10/5): -
• HISAKO (10/5): リピートします。 - 京の宿というだけあって昔の住まいを残した施設で良かった。 北野天満宮が近い！ 満点をつけているのでありません。
• Mojo (9/5): -
• Yukari (5/5): 安かったので我慢しないとね - リーズナブルで女将さんが親切だった とにかく一緒に宿泊した韓国人の親子、 特に子供たちが ドタンバタンと 起きてる最中 うるさくてたまらなかった。 なお これは2階の横で寝ていた 私の家族も そしてましたで寝ていた 私も同じ感想です。 夜寝る時に 親に出会ったので 苦情を言ったら「 今から出るので静かになります」·とだけ言われた。外国人は謝らない というのはよくわかっていたけどなんだかなと思ってしまった。
• Yuya (9/5): -
• Sara (10/5): un magnifique séjour - Logement accueillant traditionnel très bien équipé et très bien placé avec des hôtes chaleureux.
• Alexandra (10/5): Einfach Perfekt! - Das Hana Nishijin ist eine unglaublich schöne Unterkunft mit den liebsten Gastgebern die man haben kann. Es liegt etwas außerhalb vom lauten Teil Kyotos, aber nah an der City-Buslinie und nah an diversen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Haus ist 100 Jahre alt und drum herum sind einige ähnlich traditionelle Häuser. Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort, um genau diese Erfahrung in einem traditionellen Haus zu machen, und besser hätte es nicht sein können. Die Gastgeberin stellt sogar Pakete (inkl. Handtuch, Duschgel etc.) für ein nahegelegenes Onsen bereit (in dem übrigens Tattoos erlaubt sind), verleiht Kimonos und erzählt gerne alles was sie weiß über das Haus und die Umgebung und Kyoto. Absolute Empfehlung!
• CompileX (10/5): - 很不错的酒店，老板们都很热情，服务态度很好，床也有加热睡得很舒服，房间还有脚暖，园景也很棒！
• Fischer (10/5): - Ryokan familial très confortable et douillet (malgré les froides nuits de Kyoto). Emplacement idéal
• Nóra (10/5): -
• bin (10/5): - 非常有文化气息，我们都非常喜欢
• Suraj (10/5): -
• Kishore (9/5): - The owners are really friendly and welcoming. She even made me a matcha tea when I arrived. I arrived later than originally expected (outside the check in window) but they were happy to accept the change. The bed was very comfortable and overall the house was very cozy. They even provided Japanese hanten jackets for the night but they were too small for me. Waiting to the garden view on a sunny winter morning was quite nice. It is paper thin walls and you can hear the neighbours. I was a bit unlucky because someone in the next room was very loud until very late in the night. However, I still enjoyed this stay. It is located far from the centre of Kyoto but depending on your plan this could workout as it is close to some of the major attractions which was the case for me.
• Cécile Marie Sophie (9/5): Excelente. Volvería. - Su situación, la decoración y que no le faltaba detalle. Todo cuidadisimo. Muy amable y servicial la dueña. El mejor futón en el que hemos dormido hasta ahora. La tranquilidad de la calle. La escalera muy empinada para subir. Difícil manejar las maletas grandes y pesadas. Para otra ocasión pido la habitación de abajo. Se oye bastante de una habitación a otra pero es una casa muy antigua y lo veo normal. Lo único, hay que saberlo.
• Sawamura (9/5): 今回も快適でした - オーナーが良い 特になし
• Manon (10/5): Parfait !! - Absolument tout. Le couple tenant le ryokan est d’une gentillesse incroyable, extrêmement serviable ! Le ryokan en lui-même est très beau, très propre et agréable, c’est un petit établissement donc assez intimiste. La literie est très bonne. Super quartier également, avec de très jolis endroits autour. Je recommande à 100%. Rien
• delphine (9/5): - Le quartier est vraiment bien. La cuisine un peu exigue..
• atsuko (9/5): 翌日に向けて休むだけでした。 - 翌日の目的地に大変近かった。 オーナー様大変親切でした。 トイレが1階にしか無かったのが、少し不便でした。
• Maviel (8/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): Welcome to Kyoto - Very welcoming host with a good english! The place was very clean and cozy, bedroom large with a view on a garden, beatiful. The host welcomed us with a matcha tea, then accompanied us around the area to show us were to go. Restaurant reccomendation were perfect, we ate a lot and spend the right.
• Weiran (10/5): -
• Diba (10/5): I felt part of the family. The owners were lovely and they made everything comfortable for us. - A 100 years old traditional Japanese house in Kyoto. Could not ask for more. Everything was exceptional.
• Laetitia (10/5): Perfection - Je n’aurai pas rêvé mieux comme séjour sur Kyoto. Emplacement dans un quartier très sympas, bien desservis par les transports en commun. La chambre est fidèle aux photos. Les communs sont bien équipés. Mais le point le plus positif est : la gentillesse des hôtes, vous ne pouvez pas être mieux accueillis et conseiller. Ce n’est pas un point négatif juste il y a 3 chambres et les murs sont fins, il faut compter sur le respect des gens qui sont avec vous. Pour nous, tout s’est bien passé.
• avit (9/5): -
• Woods (10/5): -
• Nico (8/5): - Ontzettende aardige mensen, die ontzettend hun best doen om je het naar je zin te maken, wat we dan ook gehad hebben. Ze hebben ook Allerlei leuke en fijne manieren om het lekker warm te hebben
• Estelle (9/5): Très bon séjour chez Hana avec des hôtes adorables. - Le lieu, l'amabilité des gens, l'accueil, le confort du matelas, la vue du jardin L'isolation phonique du rez-de-chaussée est faible du a la maison traditionnelle mais l'expérience en vaut le coup.
• Figi (10/5): - The guest house is close to some famous attractions, but is in a quiet neighborhood so you don’t feel so crowded. The owners are so incredibly kind and welcoming.
• Adam (10/5): - Everything was excellent. Our room wasn't ready at check-in and they drove us for free to a nearby temple. It was great. Nothing to complain about.
• Kjeld (10/5): Amazing. - The location was very nice, our hosts were extremely kind and the futons were very soft. It was our best stay in Japan so far.
• Vincent (8/5): -
• Emma (10/5): -
• Bernadette (7/5): Nice Place Nice Restaurants nearby (: -
• Samuel (10/5): Genial ! Mon endroit préféré au Japon - La gentillesse des hôtes, l’emplacement parfait à Kyoto, les installations de qualité, la chambre… tout était parfait ! Mais ce que nous retiendrons ce sont les essais de kimono que notre hôte nous a proposé, un superbe moment, merci à eux Rien
• Godo (10/5): - Our stay at Hana Nishijin was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hosts went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and cared for, their kindness and attention to detail were next-level. We’ve never experienced such genuine hospitality before; every little request was handled with so much warmth and thoughtfulness. The room itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, the beds especially were so cozy, we had some of our best sleep in Japan here! Everything about the space felt relaxing and well cared for, making it a perfect retreat after exploring Kyoto. We can’t recommend Hana Nishijin enough. If you’re looking for a stay that combines true Japanese hospitality with comfort and charm, this is the place. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Kyoto!
• Tiziana (10/5): Chaleureuse - Je n’ai jamais été aussi bien accueilli de toute ma vie à l’étranger. Un plaisir d’avoir été reçu par des hôtes aussi agréable et gentils. Je ne peux que recommander Rien
• Judicael (10/5): Fantastic place! - Everything was fantastic: the place is a beautiful traditional house where you feel like at home, rooms and futons are very comfortable and the owner is super nice, he even drove us to the Golden Pavilion. 100% recomended if you stay in Kyoto!
• Becky (8/5): - 还算比较方便去公交车站都是十分钟左右，周围环境很好有个很近的景点在附近一大早走过去几分钟就到了很小众没有那么多国人出片打卡拍照，体验感很好。房东叔叔人也很细心入住会耐心介绍房屋 第一天楼上没人住宿很舒适，但是第二晚楼上入住了一对韩国情侣太吵了大晚上毫无分寸噼里啪啦吵得要命，素质很低，老房子隔音很差，所以一晚上都没睡好，很糟糕的体验
• Vincent (10/5): - Very kind and welcoming hosts Lovely house Quiet location close to public transportation and place of interest Fully recommended
• Kathrin (8/5): -
• 靖宇 (10/5): 很有家庭氛围，尤其喜欢坐在客厅做自己喜欢的事 - 客厅真的很不错，木地板踩在上面很舒服
• Severin (10/5): - Wir waren vier Nächte in Kyoto und hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt bei Hana Nishijin. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und wir durften für zwei Nächte ins Zimmer mit Gartenblick wechseln. Im Gästehaus haben wir auch eine Kimonoanprobe mit einem kleinen Fotoshooting. Das war etwas besonderes. Vielen Dank!
• Jan (10/5): Hidden or not, a true gem! - Amazing vibe. In all our travels this might be the coziest. Hosts might be most helpful and sweet people we have encountered. In addition, super comfortable beds, very clean place. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
• Magdalena (9/5): Gorąco polecam! - Domowy rodzinny klimat Słaby zasięg Internetu w jednej części pokoju.
• Hironori (10/5): -
• ka ho (9/5): 非常好的住宿體驗！ - 所有東西都非常乾淨，房屋裏十分舒適，老闆娘和老闆非常友善及熱情，跟我們分享很多附近有趣的東西和泡抹茶給我們喝！希望下次回來的時候會繼續在這裏居住！謝謝
• Alexis (9/5): Guest House accueillante, bon marché et très paisible au nord-ouest de Kyoto - Guest House très bon marché située vers le nord-ouest de la ville (à 10 min à pied du Pavillon d'Or), dans un quartier mignon et très paisible. Le couple d'hôtes discret (présents sur place seulement au moment du check-in) et adorables (étant arrivés à 16h, ils nous ont emmenés en voiture au Pavillon d'Or pour avoir le temps de le visiter avant la fermeture à 17h). Niveau d'anglais limité, mais bonne maîtrise du traducteur automatique :) Nous y sommes restés 3 nuits et nous avons très bien dormi. La guest house contient 3 chambres (1 au RDC, 2 à l'étage), et les cloisons sont assez fines, il faut donc compter sur le comportement respectueux des clients, parler à voix basse, et espérer des horaires de coucher/lever similaires. Une seule douche à partager, ce qui peut entraîner des embouteillages, avec toutefois un planning de réservation très pratique sur la porte. Mais ce paragraphe n'est pas un reproche, juste une information. Pour ce prix j'en suis très satisfait.
• Timothy (10/5): - Lovely 100-year old house repurposed as guest house. Modern additions such as air con and shower room added around original building with wooden sliding doors and futon beds. Lovely, helpful owners met us and showed us everything - thank you!
• Ruben Fregoso (10/5): 100% Recomendado - Todo, la ubicación en una zona poco concurrida pero llena de tradición, el trato fue espectacular y el lugar super impío y cómodo. Todo estuvo bien.
• Martin (10/5): - La gentillesse des hôtes est extraordinaire ! Un couple bienveillant, accueillant et qui se plie en quatre pour que vous passiez un agréable séjour ! Même si la barrière de la langue est présente, elle s'efface très rapidement car ce couple d'hôtes sait vous mettre à l'aise ! Excellent séjour à Kyoto ! Rien du tout.
• Moritz (10/5): Beautiful place, very warm-hearted hosts - Beautiful antique house with a cute little garden, located in a picture-perfect historic neighborhood; very, very warm-hearted caring hosts, very clean, very well maintained rooms with authentic flair. -
• Paula (10/5): Unique experience in Kyoto - The place is a century old, small house with few rooms, run by a super friendly family. They offered us some matcha and Japanese sweets, and even said that they could drive us to some places if we needed to. They also recommended restaurants in the area, not so known to tourists, so we got to experience where the locals go. Since the house is small, we were only sharing it with a couple and we got to get to know them a little bit. It was a genuine experience in a beautiful traditional Japanese house. Nothing
• Antti (8/5): Very good - Nice Japanese guest house experience. Location is a bit far from main attractions, but good bus connections offset. .
• Imre (8/5): Very good -
• Sebastien (10/5): Exceptional - 110 year old authentic house in a quiet but accessible neighbourhood. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess who provides good advice and assistance for any activity. We also liked the public bath nearby and the bike rental. Nothing. Of course it’s an old house so everyone needs to make an effort to avoid noises at night and share the bathroom. Also: if you don’t have a Japanese mobile number and want to rent the e-bikes in front of the house, make sure to ask the help of the host (you can borrow their bike card).
• Daniele (10/5): A slice of cultural Japan with modern luxuries and friendly staff. - A perfect combination of heritage, with the building predating over 100 years, and the decorations feeling authentic and homely. The rooms and futons were both comfortable and really made you feel at home in Japan. The staff were absolutely excellent, laying out a spread of snacks as well as carrying our heavy bags up the stairs, even going as far as driving us to the train station at the end of our stay! They also conducted their guesthouse perfectly, this was definitely not their first rodeo. Overall a wonderful experience and will recommend to anyone going to Kyoto. Nothing
• Adria (10/5): Recommended - Amazing experience Nothing
• Ugnė (10/5): Lovely stay - The owners are the cutiest here, they greeted us with a tea, shared tips on what to see, where to eat. The room with a garden view was very nice. Free drinks are available all the time. Shared bathroom and living room was always clean. Nothing
• Marc (10/5): Excellent - Excellent choice away from the over-touristed areas. Amazing hosts. Everything perfect.
• Michael (8/5): - I'm really glad I had the chance to stay at the 100 year old Guesthouse Hana Nishijin—it's a beautiful and charming place that left a great impression, even though I only stayed for one night. The decor is lovely, with traditional touches that reflect the rich history of the area. The garden is particularly beautiful and adds to the peaceful, authentic atmosphere. The location is excellent—close to major Kyoto attractions and very convenient for our day trip. Despite its central spot, it felt quiet and relaxing, offering a nice retreat. The traditional tatami mats and bedding were surprisingly comfortable—far more than I expected. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into preserving an authentic experience while ensuring guest comfort. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for a full 7-day stay. While it's perfect for a night or two, the setup may not be ideal for a longer visit, depending on your needs. Highly recommend this guesthouse for a short stay to get a taste of traditional Kyoto hospitality!
• Marco (10/5): - La casa era splendida, in pieno stile giapponese, i letti molto comodi (erano i classici futon giapponesi per terra). La host mitica, ci ha sempre accolto con molto calore, preparato il thè matcha, dato consiglio dove mangiare e venduto dei kimono meravigliosi con prezzi di riguardo. La consiglieró a chiunque si trovi a Kyoto e spero di tornarci un giorno. Ah dimenticavo, al checkout ci hanno anche accompagnati con la macchina in stazione!
• Kay (3/5): Poor - The house is quite loud. If you are unlucky and one of the three rooms has loud people, you can listen to everything they say. Also there is one bath for all, which wasn't clear from the booking description (usually there is an extra symbol for that...) For any sanitary facility you will have to go to the first floor. From the location you will also take a good amount of time to any tourist attractions except the golden Pavilion. We were in another ryokan right before that and the difference is immense.
• Suk (10/5): Exceptional - We loved staying here as a base for Kyoto, it is convenient to get everywhere with the bus, walkable to Kinka-kuji. The inn has got so much traditional character and the owners are so lovely. Comfortable beds for a good night's rest. Laundry facilities available
• Daniella (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful stay in a 100 year old home with traditional straw tatami beds (beyond comfortable!). The couple that owns this are very sweet and accommodating - they offered us rides when we went out with our kids. This was our favorite accommodation for the experience overall. There is a lovely onsen close by and some beautiful things to see in the area. It is about 30-50 min from more main sites and neighborhoods by public transport, but we enjoyed the opportunity to see the city. Thank you for having us!
• Alishams (10/5): Exceptional - İf i will come back to Japan i will stay here definitely! You feel real Japanese atmosphere! Thank you!!
• Jackie (9/5): Extremely clean. Everything planned for guests. Memorable experience - On arrival everything is explained. The shared facilities and accommodation is immaculate. So much effort has been put into translating all necessary information. The No: 50 takes you into Kyoto city. Excellent place if you want traditional style The area was quieter than anticipated.
• Allison (10/5): A true authentic experience with a very kind host that gave us a ride into town. Matcha tea also. - A 100% authentic Japanese experience. Great location for bus stop, 24hr 7/11 that we used for our luggage to be couriered to Tokyo. The host kindly completed the forms for us. Quiet street in a small safe neighbourhood. There was 2 of us in a quadruple room that overlooked the small walled garden. We had 1 chair-but would have been nice for 2. With 2 of us there was only a small amount of room around the 3 sides of the futon mattress. There was a sofa in the shared reception room. There was a tv but only Japanese channels -no access to Netflix.
• Lola4 (9/5): Superb - Location, hosts
• Bonnie (10/5): A cute little home in cultural Kyoto - We had a friendly welcome and loved how easy it was to get anywhere. The hosts were great and we wish we stayed longer.
• Rossini (8/5): Authentic Kyoto - Very nice accommodation with extremely friendly people
• Jake (10/5): Exceptional - A very cozy traditional Kyoto house. Everything about the stay was perfect. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. I liked the location right next to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine and a 20 minute walk from Kinkaku-ji. I highly recommend this place. 😊

• Anya (10/5): Hands down the best place I stayed in my month long trip to Japan. - There is so much to like about this traditional ryokan, from its small size (only 3 tatami mat rooms) and super quiet location to all the little extras provided by the owners. Book as early as possible if you want a chance to stay here as it is very deservedly popular. I was welcomed by the owner (who doesn’t live onsite) who provided matcha tea and biscuits - my own little tea ceremony - after showing me my room and the communal amenities (two WC, separate bath and shower, kitchenette with microwave and hot plate, stocked fridge, lounge area - with TV if you must). She not only explained about the house and the area - complete with a custom map of the immediate area showing things like (best ramen restaurant, reasonably priced Japanese restaurant, onsen) - she also took me on a short guided tour through the area including to the nearby Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. I confess I promptly forgot the shortcuts she showed me (it was dark, alright). DO go to the local onsen that she recommends - one of the nicest public bathhouses I visited in Japan - she has provided convenient baskets with toiletries and towels by the couch in the living area so just pick one up and go. I didn’t order the breakfast option but there are plenty of snacks and yoghurt available for guest consumption which was an unexpected but welcome bonus. You’ll be given your own set of keys - just remember that the front door SLIDES open and don’t be like me thinking that I’ve locked myself out. If you have a hankering to try on a kimono, then this is available for 4000¥ - the owner used to be a kimono dresser so I can guarantee that you will look better than the other tourists walking around. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, preferably for a week next time - it was a perfect break between two hectic tours. Nothing. It was perfect for me. There aren’t really any places close by to have breakfast but there are free snacks (milk bread, yoghurt, yakult, tea, coffee, juice) available 24 hours/day which is enough to keep you going until you find somewhere.
