The hosts were wonderful and the location close to food, shopping , transportation and Kyoto attractions. It was hard to get the room temperature to be comfortable for me, that’s probably the only issue I had.

It was my first time in Japan, so Kyo-no-Yado Kagihei was my very first ryokan experience. I stayed for a few days and loved every moment of it. The Japanese style room was very comfortable and cozy. I appreciated the daily restock of tea, cookies, and bottled drinks. The property is located in a very convenient location as I was able to go sightseeing, shop, and even just wander around Kyoto to appreciate the slow vibe. Tomo and Yuko, the owners of the ryokan, were so sweet and kind to me. I felt so welcomed and at home. The entire staff is just as gentle and considerate. Highly recommend this property. I already miss everyone (and the Japanese breakfast!).

Ryokan experience in Kyoto
Excellent service great place to have a traditional Ryokan experience, location is walking distance from some attractions and markets. Just be aware that is not a conventional hotel, you’ll need to follow some rules like be back before 11:00pm or leave your room keys (even safe key) at the lobby when you’re not there.

Quaint Traditional Japanese Hotel
This ryokan exceed all expectations . The two owners of the house, a couple, were the sweetest people. Super helpful and they knew english. The rooms were so cool in traditional style and the public bath was cool to see. I will say personally i found the beds to be a bit too firm, but my travel companions thought they were better than some hotel beds. So it is just personal preference but i’d stay here again. Loved the traditional breakfast we had and the laundry service is phenomenal, you pay the lady owner and she does it for you! Overall great place and the location was amazing, walking distance from all the shopping.

We were welcomed into this home like family from the very start. They were so kind, the absolute best hosts. I absolutely recommend adding the traditional Japanese breakfast option to your stay too! It was so great to experience that side of Japanese culture that you normally don’t get as a tourist. Location is great, really convenient with plenty of things in walking distance.
