Rakucho Ryokan

Maison de charme, tout était très propre et fonctionnel. La chambre était tres agréable, tout comme le reste des parties communes partagées. Le propriétaire est très agréable.

Il manquerait peut être des rideaux dans la chambre mais c’est un détail.

The nicest experience staying at a traditional ryokan! The toilet/shower sharing was perfect, everything was impeccable clean and organized, and the host was the friendliest! We felt at home and would love to come back one day.

Nothing I didn’t like

One of our favorite stays in all of Japan. Beautifully and tastefully decorated, very comfortable futons with down duvets, huge showers, and the owner was exceptionally kind and helpful and gave us great recs. Great quiet location and easy to bike or bus to everything. Would absolutely stay again.

Staying at Rakucho Ryokan in Kyoto was an absolute highlight—every detail of the space is impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and intuitively arranged so everything feels effortless, simple, and perfectly placed for comfort and ease. I had the deepest, most restorative sleep every night, and truly some of the best moments of my trip were spent enjoying the calm, beautifully considered atmosphere. With its ideal walking distance to stunning botanical gardens, the river, charming coffee spots, shopping streets, and authentic local restaurants, it’s become one of our favorite places to stay in Kyoto—far beyond just its great value.
