Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto

All units in the ryokan are fitted with a kettle. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with slippers, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the ryokan, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. The atmosphere at Auberge is one of a kind. Warm, friendly, caring - traditional yet modern at the same time. The young managers and staff was very sweet and professional and I would definitely recommend Auberge. Delicious and elegant breakfast serving. I recommend hiring bikes for getting around in the charming center of Kyoto. Easy, flat and joyful.

Ryoso Chatani

Sakyo Ward, Kyoto

At the ryokan, every unit has a tatami. The ryokan offers certain units that feature river views, and the units come with a shared bathroom and a desk. The units will provide guests with air conditioning, a safety deposit box and a flat-screen TV. The hosts were very warm and friendly! They informed us if the hot baths were extended so that we would be able to stay in it longer than the listed 4pm-10pm. Also, when we thought we lost our cellphone there after departing on the bus, after we contacted them, they immediately went to look for it. We borrowed the free bikes and rode around the town. They provided us a map so we could navigate our way around. The view from the bike trails to the view from our bedroom was beautiful. Just like out of a painting. The pictures do not do this place justice. It's best to take it in with your own eyes! This place is an hour bus ride from Kyoto. You'll see people growing their own food and the local food places source from them! The pizza we had at one of the local places over ran the view of the river and it was a fantastic pizza. The baths are communal and the hot bath was fantastic. The women's bathroom especially was filled with lots of towels, pretty decorations, and lots of lotions for use. I like the face cleanser provided so much, I went and bought the same one! There are also two massage chairs in the women's baths. The men's baths had a foot massager. The bathrooms are also shared. They were freshly cleaned every single day! Also, we got yukatas to wear while staying there. We only stayed two nights, but the hosts kindly offered to let us change it daily. After we checked out, we were given beautiful magnet gifts of Kyoto sights. We highly recommend if you visit to bright a small gift from your home country like a local snack or candy to exchange gifts. Staying here was like staying with our lovely grandparents in the countryside. We spent two nights here in between our Tokyo and Osaka trips. We definitely recommend staying here to relax and slow down after shopping and visiting the active cities.
