Guest Reviews
- Hector (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Amazing stay! Highly recommend! - Lovely Ryokan owners! Very hospitable and friendly! Food was amazing, couldn’t fault anything. Room was spacious, clean and beds were comfortable. Close proximity to the Kyoto station so that was a plus especially when you have baggage. It was a shame we didn’t spend more time here and missed out on using the onsen but would definitely be back again! There being a curfew, whilst understandable but was the only limitation.
- Lily (10/5): -
- Luca (10/5): -
- Quentin (10/5): WE RECOMMAND 100% ! And thank you guys for everything. - This was amazing ! The people were incredible friendly. The room was big, the beds were comfortable, the facilities (private bath) were very nice and the breakfast was typical, hearty and delicious. We even had the chance to get a lesson of Japanese calligraphy. /
- Sherin (4/5): Not worth it ! - The only highlight of this stay was the delicious breakfast. While I had high expectations for this place, the experience was disappointing. I expected a warm, personal ryokan stay, but it felt more like a small hotel managing too many guests for the space.
The staff were unfriendly and inflexible about luggage storage and breakfast timings, which affected our travel plans. The rooms were also very small and lacked basic amenities like a bidet and body lotion.
Overall, it was not worth the price, especially since we had a far better and more authentic ryokan experience at a different state.
- florence (9/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, la fonctionnalité de la chambre malgré sa taille réduite, le petit déjeuner traditionnel et l'emplacement à proximité de la gare.
- Leclerc (10/5): -
- Murray (8/5): Great and authentic home-like stay. - Amazing breakfast. We felt it was like a homestay - we were very looked after and the value for money was superb. Felt like a very authentic experience. There were quite a few rules - including midnight curfew - which led to a bit of stress in evenings to make sure we were back on time. Also the sink area was a bit dusty at higher areas and the mattresses were quite worn.
- Sena (10/5): -
- Theresa (10/5): Herzlich, sauber und bequem- immer wieder gerne! - Ein typisch japanisches Hotel; eigentümergeführt und mit einer unheimlichen Passion und Freundlichkeit geführt.
Das Zimmer war sehr bequem und sauber, ein privates Onsen konnte genutzt werden und auch das Frühstück war spitze.
In unserem Fall war besonders gut, dass sogar ein veganes Frühstück reserviert werden konnte.
Das Hotel ist außerdem super gelegen!
Bitte beachten, dass von 0-6 Uhr Nachtsperre gilt und man zu der Zeit im Hotel sein sollte.
Wir würden in jedem Fall wieder kommen! Vielen lieben Dank:)
- Kyran (10/5): - kind staff very clean room and nice private onsen. walking distance from kyoto station. nil
- Sipiagin (10/5): The owners are sweethearts, don’t you dare think otherwise. The overall stay is great and I think people need to go for - It was so friendly and the owners were the sweetest people in the world. I want the best for them. Nothing, it was perfect.
- Charlotte (10/5): Great place for a holiday - Nice and quiet place. Japanese breakfast served. Our hosts were such a tremendous help when I strained my ankle.
- Diana Laura (10/5): - Un luogo tipico
- Mirjam (8/5): Al met al een geweldige ervaring. - Heel lieve mensen, leuke ervaring om op een futpn op tatamimatten te slapen. Het dliep best goed! Gebruik van de 'onsen' in hrt hotel zat ook in het arrangement en was ook een bijzondere ervaring. Daarnaast gaf de host ons een korte kalligrafie-workshop. Erg leuk en gastvrij.
Het traditionele ontbijt was erg lekker en prachtig verzorgd. Wij hadden gehoopt ook te kunnen dineren en dat het eten (ontbijt/diner) dan ook knielend/zittend op de tatamimatten zou plaatsvinden. Maar voor het ontbijt waren tafels en stoelen en diner bleek niet in het aanbod.
- Grubacic (10/5): - The owner was very nice, lent us an umbrella!
- Cinzia (8/5): Vivere esperienza autentica - Tipico ryokan giapponese con piccolo osen, colazione giapponese, accogliente, pulito, letto abbastanza comodo per poche notti va bene. Struttura vecchia anche se è quello che da un certo fascino. Si sentono tutti i rumori tra camere per questo è richiesto molto silenzio, molte regole e attenzione. Non si possono lasciare le valigie dopo check out. Non ci è stato proposto di scrivere il nostro nome in giapponese come avevo letto nelle recensioni, peccato
- Eddie (9/5): -
- 17chris81 (10/5): - Staff gentilissimi e di cuore, ryokan molto bello
- Laura (10/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Marie (7/5): -
- Stephane (8/5): Adresse typique - Les propriétaires au petit soin Le couvre feu à minuit même si cela ne m’a pas dérangé
- Christopher (10/5): amazing stay - everything
"We had an absolutely amazing stay and only wish we had booked for longer! This ryokan is a true gem in Japan and easily the best place we have ever stayed. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, and both the onsen and the rooms are so relaxing—we’re leaving feeling completely rejuvenated. The highlight, however, was the staff; they are an amazing, lovely team who made us feel so welcome. Also, the food is spectacular and definitely worthy of a Michelin star. We will definitely be returning for a two-week stay next time nothing
- Demi (10/5): お得感! - ロケーションが良く、設備も一通り揃っていて、日本風の宿泊施設に泊まりたい方にはとてもおすすめです。朝食も付いており、大きなお風呂も利用できました。スタッフの方々も丁寧で親切で、文句なしの滞在でした!
- Klimchak (10/5): - Family owned, quiet, and a great breakfast
- Ulrik (8/5): - Very nice couple who run the Ryokan. They do there best so that you can enjoy your stay in the Ryokan. For me it was worth it and I would choose this Ryokan again.
- patrizia (8/5): Ryokan tradizionale e accogliente, con possibilità di corso di scrittura dopo la colazione. Da non perdere - Ordinata, semplice e con proprietari cortesi. Tutto molto pulito e comodo, il letto è il migliore dove ho dormito nei miei giri. Fanno anche gratuitamente un corso di scrittura dopo colazione ma purtroppo avevo il treno e non ho potuto partecipare. Tenete conto se prenotate qui! Buona e varia la proposta vegana a colazione I proprietari sono una coppia evidentemente non troppo tecnologica quindi, a parte i primi messaggi dopo la conferma della prenotazione, non li hanno più risposto quando chiedevo conferma del mio orario di arrivo. Stavo temendo per il mio pernottamento ma per fortuna all’ultimo giorno mi hanno mandato un messaggio sbagliato ma palesando così la loro esistenza in vita. Questo per dirvi di non preoccuparvi se non vi rispondono.
- Hatton (10/5): - Espaces japonais petits mais agréable
Très propre et le petit déjeuner japonais est excellent.
Possibilité en fin de journée de prendre un bain chaud.
- Jill (9/5): Charming experience - The location is close to the station yet you feel like you’re in a totally different different world. The host although his English is limited was incredibly kind. Bedding and pillow were comfortable. It was easy to book a private onsen. Owners offer kimonos to try on for photo op ( in house only). The last morning after our Japanese breakfast we got a chance to learn calligraphy. We stayed 3 nights and by the third morning I was really getting used to Japanese breakfast! Spending so much time on the floor wears on a + 60 yr old body , but absolutely everyone should experience a ryokan! With the futons on the floor there really wasn’t much space but again that is to be expected in Japan
- Fiona (10/5): -
- Julian (9/5): Love it here :) - The friendliest hosts! Beautiful and cozy ryokan experience in bustling Kyoto, only 10 minutes to Kyoto Station. Curfew stopped us from enjoying some late night offerings in Kyoto.
- jjacobe (10/5): - Vicino alla stazione, personale molto cordiale. Lontano dal caos. Esperienza che rifarei volentieri!
Onsen privato meraviglioso
- Michał (10/5): - Very good contact with the hosts. Delicious breakfast. Overall - exceptional experience.
- Francois (9/5): -
- Ichen (9/5): - 非常乾淨 早餐美味
- Leticia (10/5): Maravilloso, me arrepiento de no haber pasado más noches aquí - Me encantó la amabilidad de los dueños y el trato. Estaban muy pendientes de todo y de ayudarte si lo necesitabas. El ofuro estaba algo viejito, y las instalaciones son algo antiguas, pero lo disfruté mucho y estaba todo muy limpio.
- KAORI (9/5): - オーナーはとても親切でアットホームな雰囲気でした。部屋は実家にいるようなちょっと前の日本の部屋で落ち着きました。朝食も美味しく期待通りでした。
海外の方もいらして、書道体験をしていました。日本の文化を教えていて、とても素晴らしいなと感じました。
一人旅でしたが、とてもほっこりしました。 寒い日でしたので、暖房便座だとなお良かったなと思いました。
- Niklas (10/5): - Sehr familiäre Athmosphäre, wunderbares Frühstück und absolut zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Wenn ich wieder in Kyoto bin, werde ich es auf jeden Fall wieder besuchen! Potentiell könnte das Summen des im Raum befindlichen Kühlschranks stören, ansonsten ist nichts anzumerken.
- Linda (10/5): - This was such a quaint residence that gave me a great taste of the local culture. The owners were so lovely, helpful, and made my stay here the best part of my trip. They really put their all into hosting. There was a calligraphy workshop on my last day where we were asked what we liked most about Japan and the owners would help us write out a phrase in Japanese. We took pictures together and it took me back to childhood, except my parents weren’t even close to being as excited as they were. I would definitely come back just to see them again.
- Heather (10/5): A perfect home base for exploring Kyoto. Charming and affordable. - Charming building and host. Comfortable Japanese-style room. Close to Kyoto Station.
- Yolanda (9/5): -
- Tanaya (10/5): -
- Francesco (8/5): Caratteristico! Da provare almeno una volta - Ryokans conduzione familiare molto carino e caratteristico! Il signori che ci hanno accolto simpaticissimi e cordiali! Sia al check in che al check out. Le camere sono piccole ma tipiche! La cosa più bella che la mattina del check out ci hanno fatto vestire con abiti tipici e riempito di foto . Non pulitissimo
- maria teresa (10/5): Bella esperienza - Atmosfera tranquilla. Ryokan molto curato e pulito. I proprietari sono molto gentili e la stanza è in stile giapponese 😀. A 7 minuti dalla stazione centrale per poter avere tutti i servizi di trasporto della città. Se vi va di camminare, comunque in 25-40 minuti si arriva in molti luoghi di interesse. Usciti dalla stradina del ryokan, inoltre, ci sono molti ristorantini carini -
- Aleksandra (10/5): -
- Leslie (6/5): -
- Farida (10/5): - Tout a été d'exception !
L'accueil du couple, propriétaire des lieux, d'une très grande gentillesse avec le souci de faire découvrir la culture japonaise.
La chambre, le lit, la salle de bains, l'onsen, le petit-déjeuner : exceptionnels !
Je n'ai pas eu le sentiment d'être dans une relation commerciale, mais plutôt d'être accueillie par des hôtes bienveillants et attentionnés.
Après le petit-déjeuner, nous avons réalisé une initiation à la calligraphie japonaise, tout en simplicité :-) Tout était parfait !
- Lauren (10/5): - Staying at Ryokan Shimizu was an excellent, authentic, and cozy experience in Kyoto! The owners were very warm and helpful, and it felt like they welcomed us into their own home. I highly recommend the breakfast, which was authentic Japanese style and was fresh and tasty. We also used the private bath, which was clean and very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay!
- Barbara (9/5): -
- EKATERINA (9/5): I wish I could stay longer than 3 days! - Amazingly beautiful and tasty Japanese Breakfast.
Cozy accomodations, pack smart and don't bring huge luggage.
Friendly owners.
About 10 min walk to Kyoto Station. It's a perfect japanese sleeping arrangements for anyone who is not taller than 5' 10". The blankets may be short for a taller traveler.
- Miriam (10/5): Authentic Japanese experience in central but calm location/neighborhood - Ryokan Shimizu was exactly what I had been looking for after traveling with a large group: a calm, traditional ryokan with typical Japanese breakfast. It was the largest room I had during my stay in Japan. Perfectly located within walking distance to Kyoto train station. There was a calm, lovely restaurant just two blocks away with happy hour from 6-8pm. Ryokan Shimizu has several house rules that can at first seem a bit irritating but it was all acceptable and easy to follow. I slept well despite my usual back pain, while the mattress had quite a dent. The towels could have been bigger but were changed daily.
- Daniel (10/5): - Die Besitzer sind wahnsinnig hilfreich und schaffen eine tolle Atmosphäre!
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptionnel - J'ai vraiment tout aimé!!!
C'est une très belle expérience
Les gérants sont très gentils et vous font vous sentir comme chez vous
Très bon petit déjeuner!
Onsen privatif, petit cours de calligraphie offert
- marc (10/5): Una experiència increïble amb un personal meravellós; pagaria mil vegades més per tornar-hi. - Tot ha estat absolutament genial. El millor de tot ha estat el personal: gent súper agradable, encantadora i excepcionalment servicial. Han fet que l'estada fos perfecta des del primer moment. Res, tot ha estat perfecte.
- Jermain (10/5): Fantastisch, overtrof al onze verwachtingen! - Dit verblijf heeft mijn verwachtingen in alle opzichten overtroffen. De prive onsen was fantastisch, het ontbijt echt heerlijk, de kamers perfect en de eigenaar met zijn vrouw waren super behulpzaam. De gratis calligrafie klas was voor ons de kers op de taart. Niet van toepassing.
- Océane (10/5): - C'était parfait. Les propriétaires sont adorables et la barrière de la langue n'est pas du tout un problème. Situé près de la gare, c'était très facile de se déplacer. La chambre était complète, assez grande et j'ai dormi comme un bébé. J'en garde un très bon souvenir et je reviendrais la prochaine fois que j'irai à Kyoto !
- Monika (10/5): - Wspaniali, mili właściciele. Duży pokój, na warunki japońskie to ogromny. Wygodne maty, typowo styl japoński. Nie jestem fanką tradycyjnych japońskich śniadań, nie smakowało mi. Ale to moja subiektywna ocena. Moja córka która lubi tutejsze jedzenie była zachwycona.
- Joshua (10/5): Fantastic place - Private bath and a fun calligraphy lesson in the morning
- Tatum (10/5): Everything we were looking for. Close to Kyoto station, held our bags for free, and gave us tips for sightseeing. - The owners were incredibly kind. They made us feel like they really wanted us there and wanted us to feel at home. They even had tea in our room for us! They also took our picture at the end of our stay so we could keep the Polaroid as a souvenir.
- Salomé (10/5): Amazing! -
- Andrea (10/5): Second time resting in this Ryokan and it's even better than I remember! - Place was close to the station. Really cozy atmosphere, lovely hosts, delicious food and the private warm bath is to die for! Loved every second of it. Best homey place around.
We came to this Ryokan 7 years ago when my husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon, now that we could squeeze in a couple of nights here it was as good as I remember.we even changed a bit of the itinerary just so we could spend more than a night here.<3 A bit hidden, but just remember there are two vending machines outside and it's easy to spot :3
- Isaac (10/5): -
- Alice (10/5): -
- Leonardo (10/5): paz y tranquilidad - El personal, la comida y los baños del primer piso nada
- Ellis (9/5): -
- Gabriella (10/5): - Loved the authentic breakfast NA
- Sophie (9/5): Wonderful stay at this guest house where you are taken care of like family! -
- Manuela (9/5): Suggerisco di provare l’esperienza di soggiornare in una sistemazione tipica in atmosfera familiare - Posizione molto comoda, tranquilla nonostante la stazione si possa raggiungere a piedi in 10 minuti. Gestione familiare estremamente cortese. Colazione in tipico stile giapponese, preparata con molta cura. Non c’è la possibilità di scegliere tra salato o dolce, ma ci sta
- Filip (9/5): - Great traditional and filling breakfast. Cozy and clean room. Possibility of using a traditional bath. Great, helpful hosts.
- gao (9/5): -
- VINCENT (9/5): -
- Sharon (10/5): Very lovely place. - The staff were friendly and obliging.
The location was great. I found the futon on the ground to be a little too firm for me.
- Irene (10/5): Esperienza indimenticabile - La struttura é molto accogliente, per non parlare dei proprietari che ti fanno sentire a casa!
- Andrea_4587 (9/5): -
- Zaidali (10/5): - Cozy family run ryokan, the owner was kind enough to prepare a private onsen for us. Over all very relaxing stay.
- Clemens (10/5): Bester Service seit Langem - Japanische Gastfreundschaft vom Feinsten. Dieses Ryokan kann ich jedem Empfehlen der ein traditionelles japanisches Hotel erleben möchte. Das Personal war über alle Maße zuvorkommend und freundlich. Die Zimmer welche in Japan Standartgröße haben könnten für so manche klein sein. Auch Futonbetten sind nicht für jeden etwas gehören aber zu einem Ryokan wie ein Onsen.
- ViajerosDos (10/5): Repetiría - Todo, destacar la amabilidad de los dueños. Si estás leyendo este comentario y hay disponibilad en tus fechas, no lo dudes, reserva (con desayuno). Para mí algo alejado del centro
- Kevin (10/5): Great place to stay in Kyoto - The Ryokkan staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a private onsen that was available to guests and a free calligraphy lesson.
- Fadoua (10/5): - Thank you so much for the memorable stay, we loved it and we will definitely come back. the location is conveniant, the futon beds so comfortable and the staff is so kind. nothing
- Nazlly (10/5): Ubicación, comodidad, relajación y acogedor - Amabilidad, espacio limpio, un baño privado maravilloso y desayuno tradicional Todo maravilloso
- Root (9/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): - I proprietari della struttura davvero carini ed accoglienti, struttura bellissima
- FRANCOIS (10/5): Excellente expérience de vie à la japonaise - Accueil sympathique et chaleureux des propriétaires
Endroit atypique
Chambre agréable et confortable le futon est vraiment une expérience purement japonaise
Un établissement proche de la gare de kyoto à pied
Un petit déjeuner typique dans les traditions à découvrir
À recommander pour les voyageurs en quête de découverte de la culture japonaise Rien
- Ana Carolina (10/5): Quaint, family run and true Japanese experience - We had an amazing ryokan experience here and would repeat again!
The staff was incredible, welcoming and spoke good English
We loved the free calligraphy class. The Japanese traditional styled breakfast was very good.
The room was spacious and warm, since we could control the heating. We loved everything
- Astrid Løvenskjold (10/5): - The staff was so so kind!! And the day we checked out, they gave us a free calligraphy lesson. Can highly recommend!

- Ylenia (10/5): Esperienza autentica - I proprietari sono gentilissimi: accoglienti, disponibili e davvero attenti.
La stanza era piccola ma graziosa e molto curata, e abbiamo dormito divinamente.
La colazione vegetariana era abbondante e davvero buona.
Abbiamo provato anche l’onsen e ci siamo divertiti tantissimo a partecipare al corso di calligrafia, tenuto da una signora dolcissima messa a disposizione dal ryokan senza alcun costo aggiuntivo.
Un’esperienza autentica, rilassante e speciale. Consigliatissimo
- Ryan (10/5): Wonderful hosts that give you the warmest welcome to a beautiful Japanese home. Will be back! - Beautiful and traditional. The decor has you scanning the room at all the beautiful decorations and little trinkets. Makes you feel at home very quickly. It’s not the properties fault, but warning to those bringing multiple large suitcases, there isn’t any easy way to bring cases up. But just pack accordingly and enjoy this beautiful house.
- Martina (10/5): - Tutto
Atmosfera accogliente
Propietari carinissimi e super disponibili
Ryokan bellissimo,curato nei minimi dettagli
Colazione super
Onsen privato è la ciliegina sulla torta
- Marisol (8/5): - Lo MEJOR fue el futon. Hemos dormido super bien. Luego ubicación y limpieza. El desayuno está bien pero tenga en cuenta que es desayuno japonés 100 %
Muy positivo y para AGRADECER, La sonrisa de la señora mayor que pone el desayuno.
Una experiencia japonesa total. Nos gustó. Exceso de calefacción en el lobby; pero es sólo al entrar. Por tanto no es negativo, sólo un comentario. Hay que subir escalones, tener en cuenta para personas con limitaciones y para jóvenes LEER antes de reservar. A la medianoche hay que estar dentro del ryokan.
- Blair (10/5): - I had a wonderful time. The staff was so kind and helpful, the room was wonderful, great location and a wonderful breakfast.
- Jaroslav (8/5): - Close to the Main station Paid extra 300 for gluten free meal - and got 1 extra portion of rice ...
- Michel (10/5): - L accueil et l emplacement
- Daniel (10/5): Restful and cozy with wonderful hosts. - Wonderful stay, best nights sleep I’ve had in Japan. Great location, exceptional breakfast, awesome bath and very kind and thoughtful hosts. We were also very lucky to learn some Japanese calligraphy while we where there.
