Guest Reviews
- Tsuji (10/5): 非常に良かった! - スタッフの対応も早く、ドリンクも充実していました! もう少し、露天風呂を綺麗に保てたら尚良かったと感じます!
- SHOU-EN (10/5): Great stay! - They sent me all the information I needed before my arrival. Check-in was smooth!
I had an amazing stay here with my wife! The whole place was mine to use, and it had everything I needed. It’s not a super traditional Japanese house, but it still has those nice old touches that give it a nostalgic vibe. The beds were super comfy, and the location couldn't be better. It's just a few minutes to Nijo Castle and really close to the subway. Totally enjoyed my time here! Nothing
- Dillon (10/5): Best stay in Kyoto - This is my new favorite ryokan in Japan
- Elias (10/5): - Ryokan is too notch and affordable staff gets back to you quickly and kindly would highly recommend and will stay here again
- Ayumi (4/5): - 2階は綺麗で布団もベッドも快適でした 公衆トイレのような匂いが玄関から漂って苦痛だった。値段の割に浴衣ない、水などのサービスもなく、コスパは悪いと思った。
- Daniele (2/5): - Misrepresented, Uninhabitable, and Overpriced –
I booked this property through Orbitz for 4 nights paying over $3,000, which described it as a 4-star hotel/ryokan with staff services and amenities. In reality, it was nothing of the sort.
It’s not a ryokan at all, but an unattended apartment with no staff, meals, or services.
The listing claimed 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms — the property only has 2 bedrooms, 2 double beds, 1 twin bed, and 1 bathroom.
Amenities like massages and daily housekeeping simply did not exist.
Most importantly, the property was uninhabitable due to extreme humidity and mold.
Each room’s purifier showed humidity at 77%+, and there was a strong mold smell throughout.
Mold spots were visible in multiple places.
We tried to stay but after sleeping there one night we had to leave immediately because the air quality was unsafe.
The condition of the unit was poor — cracked walls, worn furniture, and a general state nowhere near the 4-star rating. To put this in perspective the nightly rate was double the price of a 5-star Hilton nearby, which is where we moved for the rest of our trip.
We contacted the property immediately, received no reply, and Orbitz refused to grant a refund despite the clear misrepresentation and health concerns.
Bottom line: misleading listing, unsafe to stay, and Orbitz provided no accountability.
This place might be OK-ish for a 1-night backpackers trip, expect a 2-star stay.
- Paige (10/5): - This was one of the main highlights of our month long honeymoon to Japan. It is absolutely stunning and the location is quiet and charming yet very walkable. We will absolutely be back soon! Highly recommend.
- Jonathan (2/5): Immensely disappointed! - We were very disappointed with this accommodation, and it is not a hotel but more of a private home/VRBO type of property. The first issue we had is that we arrived in the early evening and had trouble entering their code into the door. Upon entering the facility, we were surprised that there was no one around. We were under the assumption that we booked a hotel! The condition of the rooms were dated, and this was the least of our concerns.
- Robert (10/5): - Beautifully updated property with lots of living space and a cool courtyard with outdoor tub. Wonderful Japanese breakfast delivery option available for purchase. Steep stairs to the second floor sleeping area could be difficult for people with mobility limitations. Comfortable beds and futons. Central location a relatively short distance to the major sights in the Kyoto area. Easy “pre-check in” process to remotely provide government required passport information. Very responsive staff using the messages feature in the Expedia app.
- Colton (10/5): - The place was amazing and it was a perfect place for us to enjoy a traditional Japan ryokan
- Thomas (10/5): - Awesome place to experience a more traditional Japanese house! Tatami mats were really authentic and impressive, with sliding doors and the works! The living room table has a gap under so no need for sitting on knees. Bathroom was very impressive with great shower and massive bath. Toilet in a separate room so perfect for groups.
Location was very quiet and calm, but super close to the main road for busses, and near the train station.
Super easy getting into the property for check-in. The upstairs has a glass floor between the two rooms that is unavoidable, so if you're not a fan then maybe give this one a miss haha.
Loved the place so much, wish we'd stayed longer!
- Kimberley (10/5): KD-RyokanKyoto - Stunning ryokan. Nice quiet safe location. Close to Gion District. All the amenities including washer/dryer. Steep stairs to upstairs bedroom so not for the faint of heart. But the washroom, outdoor tub and hot tub were very nice. Ordered the traditional Japanese breakfast did not know what everything was but it was an experience.
- Yara (10/5): - Was the most amazing place i have stayed in all of japan! Definitely be back !
Thankyou for making this a wonderful experience 100/10
- Shay (10/5): - We loved everything and the 12 noon checkout was perfect
- Kirk (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here. A very nice Ryokan experience with updated amenities. The staff was wonderful as well and we loved the area.
- Pavel (8/5): Very good -
- Vannesa (10/5): - Lovely place to stay with friends or family. Beautiful for pictures. Nice refreshments. Would book again
- Harrison (6/5): No hot water but gorgeous - Beautiful small home w incredibly creative mix of traditional interior w some very modern vibes. The Breakfast was delivered To the doorstep between 830 and 9 AM. It was exquisite and extremely awe-inspiring. The see-through floor was a fantastic touch, and the white sand/rock outdoor area w small semi-shallow bath looks stunning BUT the water to the interior (red) bath and this outdoor bath were both cold water. There was a button to automatically fill the indoor bath and the little sign on the wall says it will auto fill warm water. Nope. The outdoor pool only has a single faucet to turn it on, no option to make it hot. This was very disappointing to a romantic night when our only option was cold plunge only. Would’ve been cool if one was hot and the other was cold, especially since there’s a really cool Doorway that connects the two baths! Please check w the owner before hand to find out if they have fixed their hot water problem if you want to use the tub Since there is no staff on site. It’s basically an Airbnb.
I do think the cost was exorbitant compared to other high-end places we have stayed. korinkyo in Kawazana, for example, was around $500 USD And This boutique hotel was everything they said and more. Go look at the pics of this hotel and it is 10 times more than what they even advertise. Incredible can’t believe I paid 2x for this house in Kyoto. Maybe I would not have said anything had the water been hot, cause there is something special about your own place
- Kyle (10/5): - Wouldn’t have wanted to stay in any other hotel in kyoto. Wonderful experience!
- Gahyeon (10/5): - 좋았습니다
- Jordan (10/5): - If you’re looking for the perfect traditional Kyoto house stay, this is the one. Such a nice house that was very relaxing to stay in.
My only complaint was that the outdoor bath was too shallow, however the the bath in the alcove next to it was perfect.
- Matthew (8/5): - Good experience and large house, a little bit older than expected and location a bit far from places. Be aware there is no reception and check in is a little bit confusing.
- Tiara (10/5): Exceptional - The property was very peaceful and located near plenty of food and conscience stores.
- Rowillande (10/5): - Staff were friendly and accommodating but note there might be a language difference. Area was close to most transportations and the Ryokan was very big.
- Taha (10/5): - The stay was only 1 night but it was an amazing experience. I’d recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto that they stay at least one night at this property
- Ari (9/5): Overall, we liked the place. - The apartment was nice. The toilet and washroom were really good, especially the shower and 2 sinks, the bathtubs a bit small but ok. The sound insulation of the outer walls was non-existent and all the sounds could be heard from outside
but we managed with it. The stairs to the second floor are really steep.
- Parker (9/5): Superb -
- MIJU (10/5): - 일본 숙소하면 좁다란 생각을 가지고 방문했는데 여긴주택 전체를 사용하여 4인가족이 편하게 지내다 왔습니다.
먼지를 찾아볼수없을 정도로 깨끗했어요.
다음에도 쿄토 여행 온다면 예약하고 싶을정도로 만족합니다.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - 找住宿點找好久,標示不清,而且是"季樂"不是"氣樂"
- Jon Dyhre (10/5): - We had our own house with four rooms, a nice bathroom and a little garden. The Japanese breakfast prepared in the room was amazing. We recommend this hotel to people who want to stay in a Japanese stile.
- Vincent (10/5): Authentique et cosy - Ryokan exceptionnel, grand et élégant. Le jacuzzi “traditionnel” et le petit jardin agrémente ce lieu hors du commun. Seuls points négatifs : Pas tout à fait central (sans être loin) et assez coûteux mais un souvenir memorable dans cette ville dépaysante
- Yuliya (10/5): - We got unforgettable experience. The hotel was a highlight of our trip.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely traditional Kyoto style town house - amazing experience, beautiful town house, easy to check in andcheck out, excellent location , easy to find parking lot though it is expenive
