Yadoya Kikokuso

The hosts made this stay feel very warm and meaningful. Everything was put together with thought and the experience felt like an authentic human connection and cultural exchange.

Family run Ryokan not far from main Kyoto station The couple who hosted us were very welcoming and made us feel at home, they spoke good English. We had a little tour of the garden area and brief history about the place The hospitality was amazing and I would highly recommended staying here, will definitely come back if/when visiting Kyoto in the future!

The Ryokan was immaculate and the hosts were very kind. The sleep on the futon after the bath was the best I have had in Japan. Highly recommended, and would stay again for longer given the opportuinty. Thank you again.

The family running the hotel is very nice and polite. setting is quite nice with the pond, but lacks care / renovation.

I’m sorry to say but this ryokan didn’t meet our expectations… I know it’s an old ryokan but it does not mean that the towels and hairdryer have to be from the previous century as well for this money…. Overall, not worth the money. No privacy (room not closing), old equipment, need to reserve shower downstairs.. (cannot take shower when you want). Bath is old.. overall quite strict rules for everything - cannot store luggage on the check out day post 1pm, need to reserve shower, need to return to the premises by 10 or 11pm in the night.. Not convinced. we’ve visited much better ryokans which included natural onset for similar price, and modern hotels are 50% cheaper than that one and more convenient.. so I’m sorry to say but overpriced and not delivering up to standard it is positioned.
