Ryokans in Noord-Kyoto

'Amazing experience from start to finish. An extremely authentic and comfortable stay with top notch food, impeccable service from the owners and their staff! An hour out from the city, but the bus ride is an incredibly scenic route once you’re out the bustling chaos. Would love, love, love to stay here again in the future! '

'Wonderful hotel – very friendly staff. Was a nice experience!'

'Breakfast was great, Onsen was very sufficient and had private and public areas which I appreciate. Guests on our floor were loud and the walls are thin, but hey, some tourists are like that and it’s not really the hotel’s fault. Everything else was perfect.'

'Nice Japanese style hotel, very helpful. Good traditional breakfast, good location to Arashiyama. Quiet and I enjoyed the communal bath experience. '

'Very refined and traditional inn, where the incredibly gracious host makes you feel straight at home. Breakfast is lovely, the whole hotel is spotless, and the onsen bath is a definite highlight. Very quiet neighbourhood, with all the major attractions a bus ride away. I hope to visit again soon. '

'Just as the photos showed, the bathtub was fantastic to soak in at the end of the day. The amenities were of high standard. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Loved having the space for our family of 3. Washer dryer was great to use mid trip too. We used the bus from the train station and it was only about 150m walk to get to Ryoken. Good restaurants nearby and easy walking distance or bus to nishiki markets, shopping area and Gion. A Big thank you to all the staff who were helpful and...

'Simply spectacular. A real gem of a place. The attendees are extremely kind and go over and beyond to make the stay feel comfortable. This is a 7 star property with true cultural vibe. The food is fantastic. I’ll be going back for sure. The experience is worth every penny. '
