Kamuro An

Simply amazing Ryokan experience! There are no words to fully describe my appreciation to Kamuro An experience & Okami, the host. My expectation of wanting a ryokan experience were beyond met. I have stayed at many nice hotels but this was better than anything I ever had. The host's dedication to show her guests Japanese traditions and cuisine is commendable, lot of hard work behind. Kamuro An is also located at a very prime location, steps away from Kyoto’s popular Kiyomizu-Dera temple & Gion/Geiko neighborhood. I walked to all the prime areas of Kyoto from Kamuro An. Okami specially made a vegetarian friendly breakfast for me which is the best meal of my entire trip in Japan.

Super friendly host, very clean .‌exactly as was described. Location is great

"Softly, morning light Fell upon my resting face At Kamuro-an." I could only stay in Kyoto for two nights, but I was most satisfied with my time at Kamuro-an. I wanted a feeling of what it was like to live in a Japanese home, and that's what I found: a place that felt like home. Ookami-san and Danna-sama made a tired traveler feel welcomed. Their local knowledge was extremely helpful, and their gentle guidance was most appreciated. The house itself is beautiful; clean and in good repair. My room was spacious, and had everything I needed. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to walk around. You will not find a better location in Kyoto, just minutes away from the temples, shrines, parks and shops of Higashiyama and Gion. Bring your good walking shoes! The food! I can still remember how fresh, interesting and delicious the breakfasts tasted. Breakfast with good conversation is always satisfying. I learned so much about Kyoto culture. I will always carry with me the sense of peace and genuine kindness I felt as their guest. Even when Ookami-san laughed, trying to find a yukata to fit my big body, and then had to watch my bad dancing! (^_^) When you are a traveler, a place to truly rest is beyond price; A hot bath is salvation. A soft futon is Heaven. In an age when so many tourists are rushing around, faces down in their cell phones, it's good to know that places like Kamuro-an still exist. Ookini, Ookami-san! *waves*
