Kamoya Ryokan

Ryokan is situated in a quiet area, good to relax after a day in crowded Kyoto. I appreciated cold water from the cooler and hot green tea provided. I liked to sleep on futon, this is the best for my back

I was a bit concerned about cleanliness of the bathtub, it was not cleaned after the previous guest, but I hope it can be easily fixed for next guests.

We arrived at night and our key was ready on the counter. The room was clean and ready for us with two futons and pillows and a small table, a TV and A/C. The bathroom was equipped with shampoo and soap and the hot water was plentiful. The lobby had hair dryers, tea and other necessities. The owner greeted us and was very friendly. It was a nice and simple experience of a ryokan in Japan.

Our previous hotel was a mile down the road but because we were not familiar with public transportation we walked to the ryokan with all of our luggage in the dark. We were able to catch a city bus back to the Kyoto train station in the morning for 240 yen. I would have liked a later check out than 10am. It did not leave us much time to explore the area for breakfast before having to leave so we just left. I was asked to pay an additional 400 yen for a room tax on top of the already high-priced stay. The room was very simple and quiet and met our needs for a night's sleep. It was very expensive for the brief experience.

Very nice host, super clean, give us a map with a best places to see and how to get there.

There is no fast connection to the main kyoto train station. It's possible but it's as long as a walk ~ 20 mins

Very nice person welcoming us
