*8.1* Kyoto Tower: only 4 minutes away! (850 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Ryokan Kyoraku – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The ryokan was impeccably clean and everything was very smooth and simple to check in and check out. The staff was very helpful and very kind. The room was a perfect size with a traditional fold out mattress on the tatami floor. Hot water for tea was provided every night and the hot shower was a relief after long days walking around the city in the cold. The location was also very nice - only an 8 minute walk from the Kyoto station so very easy to get in and out of the city on the train to and from the airport.

Sara, United States of America

It was nice and quiet on a side street with no cars, close to eateries, drug stores, the station. Mainly, the husband and wife who worked the friendly place were always so kind and helpful. I liked the informal and home-like atmosphere. Not formal like a modern hotel. I liked the tatami and sleeping on futon.

Rene, United States of America

Great locatIon (close to train station without buzz), friendly and helpful staff, very clean. Tatami bed is comfortable for those who feel apprehensive

Maria, Singapore

Nearly a straight walk from the Central Exit of Kyoto station, easy to drag my small suitcase. Good bed, desk for working. Smaller than major hotel, which I prefer. Nothing luxurious but very comfy.

Marian, Japan

The service was exceptional, Murakami-san at reception was extremely helpful and attentive to us throughout our stay. He spoke good basic English and always did his best to make our stay comfortable. Room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. Location fantastic- very central and convenient.

Jason, Vietnam

Traditional japanese inn with a superior location. The staff was even more friendly and helpful than in other places (and that's hard to top). They had english translations for the remotes which were my greatest struggle in other places. (Have fun guessing kanjis on the airconditioner). It helps greatly if you know basic etiquette if you decide to stay in any ryokan.

Alexander, Germany

Everything was so perfect, simply a magical experience in Japanese style Ryokan that is sparkling clean with an efficient system, and most importantly a very welcoming, kind, super nice and accommodating staff. The room is cleaned and the towels and yukatas are replaced everyday, neatly kept on the tray. This level of perfection is not readily available in many hotels in the United States. Ryokan Kyoraku is indeed the best Ryokan in Kyoto! I will love to come back here again!!!

What's a ryokan?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?

Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
What's a kaiseki meal?

Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
What's a yukata?

A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
How should I wear a yukata?

First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?

Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
What's standard bathing etiquette?

At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
Why are tattoos not allowed?

While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

This is our guests' favorite part of Kyoto, according to independent reviews.

I have to be honest, I do wish this ryokan had breakfast. But then again, there are plenty of places to eat nearby.
I stayed here about four years ago, and was so impressed with this property’s simplicity, great value and proximity to Kyoto station. It was truly a pleasure to pace myself here during my autumn expiration of the Kansai region.

Great ryokan experience. Extremely friendly staff (I even got a present :) ). Very clean and comfortable. Nice location - 5 minutes from Kyoto Station, lots of good restaurants nearby, walking distance to several temples and gardens.

I really liked that they took the time every day to clean each room and made it clear that I needed to not be in the room between 10 and 3pm. This meant that when I did get back, there was fresh linen, towels, freshly boiled water, water bottles and tea waiting for me. It made the experience very relaxing after a day of wandering the city.

The lift had a rubbery smell.
This ryokan is conveniently located only 5 minutes walk away from Kyoto station and Kyoto tower. The owners are very very friendly and informative.
