Conveniently located in central Kyoto, Ryokan KANADE offers a Japanese-style garden. Among the facilities of this property are a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room includes a terrace. Kyoto Station is a 15-minute drive from this property. We loved our stay! The room was so nice with tatami flooring and traditional aesthetics. The bathroom was great too! The location was as expected - quieter and away from the central bits of Kyoto, but there are various things to do nearby the hotel, and it was easy to get to with bus. The housekeeping team were very friendly! The male staff member on site who helped us with check-in and check-out was super polite and helpful! Him and the other male staff member also helped us send our luggage to the next city we’re staying in 😊

Seikoro Ryokan is located in Kyoto, a 7-minute drive from JR Kyoto Station. Featuring traditional Japanese-style accommodation, it offers a public bath and massage services. Free Wi-Fi access is available at the entire property. The room was stunning, traditional, and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, expansive, and filling. We were offered a choice between a Japanese breakfast or a Western breakfast. The staff were friendly, approachable, and accommodating. I was extremely pleased with the hotel staff. It felt like coming home every time we returned to the ryokan. The ryokan was close to a subway station for easy travel. And it was an easy 20 minute walk from the famous Kiyomizu-dera. The ryokan also offers a 10+ course dinner options as well as a public bath.
