At the behest of a friend, I checked our family into a ryokan (traditional inn) for our maiden trip to Kyoto. The Japanese hospitality of the staff, traditional breakfast every morning (server to your room), your beds made daily and sleeping on the mattresses on tatami flooring and public bath are good experience.

great ryokan with soul and cedar onsen

We loved the Ryokan Kohro! From the moment we arrived the staff was warm and welcoming, our room very comfortable, and the set Japanese breakfast each morning was delicious…the best part was the cedar bath/onsen which we used each night. We will definitely be back!

Amazing ryokan stay

Amazing ryokan stay in the heart of Kyoto; there’s a public bath you can try which is traditional and fun way to shower / bathe. When you check in they pour you tea and give you traditional sweet; they then go through breakfast times; breakfast in the room is amazing and must try. The set up of the beds was also done seamlessly and everyone was super courteous and polite - thank you for a great stay!

I love the location because you can walk to Teramachi Kyogoku shopping street. I love the clean room and the amenities. The experience was great but I didn't give it a 5 star because I was charged an extra tourist tax fee and I was curious why it was not mentioned online. I paid everything online and I was surprised to get that fee.

Perfectly Authentic Traditional Ryokan Experience

NOTE: This is an authentic ryokan with a full ryokan experience. If you are not looking for the full traditional experience, this might be less of an ideal option for you. If you want that experience, you will be handsomely rewarded. Have your google translate ready, because not all staff speak English, but that's about the only possible negative. The room was gorgeous, the location is perfect, near Nishiki market and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Get the breakfast option, as it's a cherry on top. We will be returning to Kyoto in the future, and we will most definitely look to book another stay here.

A wonderful ryokan experience

The staff was so friendly, and the woman who showed us to our room did a great job explaining what makes the ryokan special. We paid for breakfast, and the spread they set up in our room each morning was stunning -- it was so fun to try different foods each morning. We also really enjoyed the public bath in the basement -- very relaxing and clean. The location is also great: very close to a train station, and there's lots of great shopping and eating in walking distance.

Cheap Ryokan in the city

A good price for a Ryokan! Can get breakfast in the room. Nearby Nishiki Market. Neighbourhood of this Ryokan has stylish boutiques and cafes. The public bath could have been hotter, but other than that all good.
