Guest Reviews
- Takumi (10/5): -
- Kiyokazu (8/5): 次も使いたい - 交通に便利 室内の照明スイッチが部屋の外にあり、少し不便。これのみ。
- Yieh Ping (10/5): -
- KAMAKURA (5/5): -
- Corton (10/5): homely and cosy - loved the atmosphere, it transports you to traditional kyoto pillow was a bit strange for me, it hurt to sleep. maybe offer a substitute? the onsen was dirty too, hairs and bits of grime
- Christian (10/5): Alles suoer. Kann ich empfehlen. - Klasse Ryokan. Das Zimmer selbst ist sehr spärlich und schlicht eingerichtet, was mich nicht gestört hat. Ich hatte kein eigenes Klo oder Dusche sondern habe den geteilten Bereich verwendet. Die Klos waren sauber und zu den Duschen kann ich nichts sagen, da ich den Onsen verwendet habe, der genau das Richtige nach einem langen Tag auf den Beinen war. Der Onsen selbst ist auch sauber.
Das war auch das erste Mal, dass ich in nem Futon geschlafen habe. War schon recht hart, daran muss man sich erstmal gewöhnen 😅
Man muss im 23 Uhr wieder beim Ryokan sein, da dieser dann schließt und man nicht mehr reinkommt. Das war mir bereits von vornherein klar und hat mir nichts ausgemacht. Die beiden Frauen die den Ryokan leiten sind auch meganett.
- Ho (10/5): - 房間很大 隔音較差

- Filip (9/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): - Un art de recevoir qui est rare de nos jours. Bains de type Onsen sur place. Chambre typique à la japonaise. Proximité de la principale gare de Kyoto. Rien à signaler.
- Torio Jr. (10/5): - Very clean and organized Nothing at all.
- Janina (10/5): - sehr schönes Zimmer, sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal
- Stephanie (10/5): -
- Maria (8/5): - Struttura datata ma molto pulita in pieno centro, a pochi passi dalla stazione centrale. La stanza è molto grande e dotata di tavolino, armadio e minifrigo. Ho sempre trovato vuoto l'onsen, acqua molto calda, c'è anche una doccia normale. Personale molto gentile, mi hanno permesso di lasciare i bagagli prima del check in e dopo il check out. La connessione internet funziona a scatti. Il futon non è dei più comodi ma c'è di peggio, se siete alti non ci starete completamente sopra, io sono 1.68 m e avevo i piedi al pelo. Niente di grave.
- Hiroshi (8/5): - 駅から近いし、地下通路からすぐなのが良かった。
周辺に夕食をとるところも多くあり、便利です。
ビジネスホテルと違い、風呂もゆったり入れました。
- 福田 (10/5): コスパ良し! - ・京都駅から近い
・風呂/トイレが近年に改装されたのか、非常に綺麗だった
・23時までチェックイン可能
・部屋に生八つ橋が用意されていた 強いて挙げるなら、
・風呂/トイレは共用なので苦手な人は注意
・狭いスペースに内扉があり、開け閉めしづらかったです
- Lucrezia (8/5): Pleasant journey but the hostel has restrictive rules - The room was clean and the host really thoughtful and kind Take into consideration that from 11pm to 6:30am you cannot enter and go out from the facility!!!!!!!!! It's the first time I ever hear about this rule!
So if you want to stroll in the evening you would need to go back earlier.
- Jess (10/5): Traditional gem just a 5 min walk from Kyoto station - yukata pyjamas and onsen included! Very good value. Highly recomm - Very happy I found this little cute traditional gem so close to Kyoto Station (5 min walk). It’s surprising as it feels away from the hustle/bustle despite being so close to it. The futon bed, yukata and obi, tatami mats, indoor slippers (plus bathroom slippers), onsen bath, lovely woman/staff, cleanliness and thoughtful Japanese decorations contributed to a wonderful and simple stay. There is a tea set, a kettle/thermos, TV, tissue, wardrobe and towel provided in the rooms. Could barely hear any noise from other guests as there is a double room door (room door and indoor slippers area door), which was great. Loved every bit. I stayed at more expensive and elaborate places before/after, but this place 100% had the best value for money in terms of traditional stay, service, location and comfort 🥰 thank you so much. One of my favourites!
- Feau (10/5): Can't get better value for such a clean, safe and welcoming environment. - It was a 5 minutes walk from the train station. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Honestly can't get better value for such a reasonable price. Heads up: curfew at 11pm but after a FULL DAY of walking, we were ready to head back and rest.
- Yeter (7/5): -

- Lian Soon (10/5): Nihonkan is a good place to stay when you visit Japan if you want to experience the tatami stay. Additionally, you will - Nihonkan is a very nostalgic hotel which brings me back to the olden days vibe. It was very clean and well taken care off. There were onsen and washing machine all in the building which was convenient. nil.

J’ai passé un super séjour et y reviendrais avec plaisir

- Marta (8/5): -
- Bing (10/5): 非常享受 - 位置绝佳,距离车站非常近,紧邻友都八喜,周围很多好吃的,房间整洁干净,公共设施很完善,极具性价比 因为是老房子,所以隔音稍差。
- atsushi (8/5): - 古い施設ですが、掃除も行き届いており
共用の洗面、トイレ、浴場も清潔でした。
部屋にはUSBのさせるコンセントやWi-Fiも飛んでおり、スマホ程度なら快適に使えます。
エアコンも家庭用の物がついており
変なにおいもなく快適でした。
ノスタルジックな雰囲気に浸れます。 共用の洗面のお湯が早朝だと出ない
(湯沸かしつけっばになるので仕方が無いが)
6時過ぎには出ました。

- 盈君 (9/5): - 交通方便
晚上很安靜
- bala (10/5): - Location was great, just walking distance from Kyoto station. The rooms are in Japanese ryokan style, love the atmosphere. The ladies who run the place are very friendly and approachable. I couldn't say proper goodbye that day to them, as I was rushing to catch my Shinkansen. Just to let you ladies know I caught the train just 2 mins before departure 😃
Thank you for your warm hospitality
- Omar (10/5): -
- Liam (10/5): Excellent value and accommodation, amenities - Bath, private room, futon, staff Short door frames
- meng (9/5): - 服务很周到,很干净 无
- Anna (8/5): Trevlig upplevelse - Bra läge med japansk stil Det var lite slitet på toa och dusch
- Mark (8/5): We were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was very friendly and kind. They allowed us to leave our baggage, which was ve - It’s very close to Kyoto station which is very good after a long walk. The appliances and toilets are a bit old, but they didn’t affect our stay. However, there is a curfew, which could impact your travel plans, especially if you prefer to leave early and visit popular spots.
- Maika (6/5): -
- Phillip (10/5): - Increíble!! Un sitio precioso para alojarse, al lado de la estación. Se respira un ambiente distinto y bastante retro, me encantó. La encargada del lugar muy amable, la habitación muy amplia y tradicional y el baño compartido increíble. Recomiendo mucho este sitio, volveré. El toque de queda a partir de las 23:00 pero no me importó
- 清水 (5/5): -
- vlad (4/5): -
- Nicolas (10/5): - Perfect ryokan You have to come back at the hotel before 11pm before it closes.
- Damien (8/5): -
- Christopher (9/5): -
- Thi Hien (10/5): I definitely will choose this one again once I visit Kyoto. - Great location, only around 200m from Kyoto station. It looks a bit old but very tidy, the room was clean everyday. The staff also very friendly. Because it’s old Japanese style building, sometime the sound proof is not that good.
- SHUN YUAN (8/5): - 員工非常親切;飯店位置也不錯。外表雖然舊,但內部卻很有維護,很乾淨舒適。
這次住松之間,有獨立衛浴。 因為膝蓋不好,需扛行李箱爬樓梯稍微不便。但還沒入住時可以放行李,員工也會先幫忙搬進客房。
退房時有送個可愛精緻的日本風格小扇子。

- Norika (10/5): 駅から3分、懐かしい旅館 - 駅に近い。昔懐かしい雰囲気は一般的なホテルでは味わえない良さ。お風呂も布団も気持ちよかった。タイル張りの洗面流しは、ずっと残して欲しい遺産認定という趣き。古いけれど清潔感がある。 お年寄りなど階段の上り下りは大変かと思った。
- MEHMET ALI (9/5): - Curfew ab 23 Uhr
- Waring (10/5): Lovely stay in a great central location! - The staff were really friendly and the Ryokan facilities were really nice. It was all good and they let us leave our bags at the property. Note the bathing hours are only in the evening and the property locks up at 11pm.
- Tamas (9/5): -
- Sam (10/5): Relaxing stay - Traditional Japanese style rooms and comfortable futons. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The location is very close to Kyoto station.
- qi (10/5): -
- Ryusei (8/5): - コスパがとても良い。スタッフの方は感じが良い。
部屋は広くて綺麗。 壁が少し薄いので、耳栓を持ってくる方が良いかも。

- Ulrich (10/5): -
- Taishi (10/5): 大正時代の京都旅行 - 京都駅や祇園東山に程近く、交通の便も良いため、宿泊前後の京都旅行の拠点に最適。荷物を預かってもらって周辺のレンタサイクルを借りると、快適に嵐山や金閣寺、伏見稲荷大社などの神社仏閣を巡れます。 安さに対して期待しすぎですが、部屋内に洗面台やトイレがないのは知っておくべきです。
- Sylvain (10/5): Such great value for the money. - So well located, right in the center but calm and authentic Japanese. The hotel is closed from 23:00 so you have to be back on time and it was often frustrating because Kyoto nightlife seems fun.
- Hey (9/5): 良かったです。また利用させてもらいたい - ・大風呂が利用できる
・駅から近く夜は静かで立地がよい ・23時に閉錠される為、それ以降は外出出来ない事
- Alejandro (10/5): Me encantó. - Personal increible, muy amables. Las instalaciones te hacen sentir como en esas casas típicas que mirabas de pequeño en tus series favoritas. El límite de hora a las 23:00 apenas lo notarás ya que estarás desde muy temprano descubriendo kyoto y para vida nocturna tienes Osaka y Tokyo. 1000% recomendable sin duda.
- Mung Lan (10/5): - Nearby Kyoto Station Up and down stairs when take bath.
- Marco (10/5): -
- Chiumin (8/5): - 京都車站前,穿越巴士站下面的商店街,很快就能到達飯店。
- Flavia (10/5): Super consigliata , atmosfera tipica , ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo :) - Pulita , vicina all stazione centrale , curata in ogni dettaglio . I proprietari sono gentili ed accoglienti . Tutto perfetto!
- Norihiro (8/5): 利便性ありながら京都らしさも感じられる - 京都駅から徒歩圏内ながら比較的静かな場所。設備は古いが必要なものは揃っていて寝泊まりするだけなら十分。近くに京都らしい飲食店も多く、京都の雰囲気を味わえます。 古い建物なので防音はよくありません。
- Miku (10/5): -
- Kuniyo (9/5): また泊まりたい - 早朝の荷物預かりも気持ちよく預かってくださり、駅近くなのに夜は静かでよくねむれた 部屋がたまたま隣家に面して窓が開けれなかった
- Eric (10/5): - The facility is right next to the Kyoto station and has a nice onsen where you can relax after a long day touristing around. It is all incredibly clean and tidy.
- Fionn (10/5): Couldn't recommend more! - Our favourite stay in Japan! A great authentic ryokan experience. Lovely to come home after a big day exploring the city and have an onsen waiting for you downstairs! The onsen is public but we stayed for 4 nights and always had it to ourselves. Staff are really lovely and always have tea and biscuits in the room for you every evening. Simple, clean & relaxing, couldn't have asked for more! All positive
- Ludmina (8/5): Chambre typique japonaise - Le bain est agréable et la chambre (typique japonaise) avec les tatami et futons. Attention il y a des horaires de fermeture de l'entrée la nuit

- Annabelle (9/5): Wonderful - highly recommend - Authentic ryokan, super lovely staff, clean and very convenient location! Nothing - all excellent. Would only suggest that if you are used to a soft western bed, maybe ask for a few extra futon mattresses!
- Mariana (10/5): Nihonkan - Excelente - Alojamento incrível! Extremamente limpo e organizado. Excelente localização, não podia pedir melhor. Quarto com todas as comodidades e super confortável. As senhoras que nos receberam foram sempre super queridas e atenciosas. As fotografias no Booking não fazem jus ao quarto - é muito melhor do que nas fotos. Foi o alojamento que mais gostei na minha estadia no Japão e voltaria sem dúvida.
- Madeline (10/5): - Wonderful host, traditional room and onsen, felt very at home.
- YUJUN (8/5): 一个闹中取静的地方,方便又舒适 - 位置相当不错,离京都站很近;服务很温和。公共浴池人不多,尤其干净。 卫浴设施有点老旧。
- Giugliano (10/5): Esperienza davvero gradevole - L'accoglienza della struttura e la gentilezza dello staff. L'esperienza è stata davvero positiva. È ben spiegato che bisogna rientrare entro le 23, purtroppo potrebbe un malus se si vuole fare vita notturna.
- HIROFUMI (8/5): また泊まりに来ます。 - 1人で泊まるのに広過ぎず狭過ぎず、ちょうど良い広さ。こざっぱりとして清潔感があった。 古い建物なので防音性はなく、窓外の音がよく聞こえる。
- Toshinori (7/5): -
