"We had a lovely time here! We were travelling by public transport, and this spot is a little of out of the way, but they sent a shuttle to the train station and it was easy to arrive. It was not clear from their website that the restaurant would not be open for dinner, and the closest restaurant by foot (other than McDonald's) was a 30 minute walk away. That was no problem; we had a nice walk, a great dinner, and really loved the onsen!"

"This is hidden gem! The view is gorgeous and the onsen was great. We enjoyed the exclusive japanese fine dining. They also offered a free snack and drink in the lobby during happy hour. I would love to go back. "

"The staff were very nice, and I liked the shuttle bus service. The ryokan was clean and excellent to use. The dinner was fancy, but it did not taste very good for the price.

"This was a simply magnificent Hotel. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the service was exceptional. The breakfast was superb and the roof top terrace amazing."

"This is my second stay and honestly it’s my #1 recommendation for Japan. The Staff are wonderful. He was pretty fluent in English so no need to worry about a language barrier. The rooms are very clean. The lobby is a nice place to relax and even has a massage chair which is great after a hot bath. The location is perfect for exploring the area. It’s about a 6 minute walk from the train station. "

"Wonderful ryokan experience in Kyoto! We stayed as a family with our one teenager and really enjoyed the experience. The staff are superb. The meals were works of art. The bath experience was incredibly special. The entire facility is just lovely. So glad we included a night here during our visit to Kyoto! "

"Great onsen - just the hot springs are worth staying there. The hotel itself is slightly outdated and may need some touch up work, but it looks very traditional and very clean. They won't let you into the hotel without taking your shoes and providing sleepers (which are too small for one of us). Everyone in the hotel is extremely polite."

"The bathroom was tiny for a room that was charged for 4 adults by the hotel. Its almost like a cruise ship bathroom with extermely poor design from the sink (practically no space to keep the stuff - you would have to hold your things and keep it outside the room) to the towel rack which is very high and directly over the toilet. No automated flush (airport have a better toilet). Curtain in the bathroom. Only one mirror outside the room by the main door and if you are getting ready - you will be hit by the door.
Also, entire hotel has "strict" directions for the guests. Don't do this or that - not treating them like adults. They replaced water bottles with an empty jug that you would have to fill out from the lounge area. Jug so poorly designed that you would likely spill water in the room.
The room should not be sold for a family of four and not charged children as adults for everything just because you are able to fit two double beds in the room.
Also, the night pyjamas are hidden in the drawer and just one long shirt (unsure if anyone wears them).
Not recommended. Staff told me this is what you would get if you want to "save" money - I was confused!"
"Hotel is beautiful, well located and the staff is attentive and helpful. The room is a bit small, which is expected for hotels in Japan so maybe look for bigger room options if you are traveling with multiple, big luggage. "
"Location was great. Near train station, subway, Dotonburi, eatery, etc. The property looks new, in great condition. Price was competitive plus it comes with breakfast inclusive. I stayed at the Kyoto Chijo Omiya branch) too (b4 coming to the Osaka Namba branch which is an older property but still cosy, well maintained and slept well there as well. Would use Toyoku Inn again."
