Situated a 10-minute walk from lively Kawaramachi area, Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei offers Japanese-style accommodation with modern facilities and traditional design. It provides a tour desk and a bar on the ground floor. Free WiFi is available in all areas. I always wanted to experience a stay in a Ryokan, this one highly recommend. We arrived early and the staff kindly let us storage our baggage and once we did the check in our stuff were already in our room. We took the western style room but still you can sense the traditional Japanese vibe. The room was spacious and bed was amazing. The whole place was magical, definitely enjoy some time to explore the lobby and the share spaces as there Japanese gardens and even torriis. They provide private hot tub rent and kimonos. Love my stay o wish i could stay longer. Book in advance.

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. A dream stay!! We waited a long time to get a chance to stay here and it did not disappoint. Steeped in tradition. The service was too notch! The food is over the top. You must opt in for dinner as well to have the whole experience. I tried my first Onsen and went back a second day. They made me feel so comfortable. This experience and lovely place should be on all trips to Kyoto.... it's small so book well in advance. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us.

Some units in the ryokan have private entrance and are equipped with wardrobe and tatami. Units are complete with a private bathroom, while certain units at the ryokan also provide guests with a seating area. The breakfast service was a highlight of our stay! The beautiful decor, authentic experience with the irori bbq made in front of you was incredible. Everything was delicious, with strong attention to detail giving you a humble luxury that feels typically Japanese. The room was simply gorgeous and the bed incredibly comfortable. The complementary items (late night soba, stocked fridge) made it even more special and intentional.
