Hotels in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto

The staff were absolutely wonderful and very attentive and kind. The food was incredible and our stay was very comfortable. The location is fantastic for seeing the temples and hiking.

This traditional Japanese inn was a fabulous way to end our stay in Kyoto. Only 30 mins from the city centre but surrounded by incredible natural beauty. You can book the courtesy bus (quick and easy) from the local station and back - the staff will send you an email with the details. Stunning views from the room, en-suite western beds in a tatami area, traditional cotton robes and slippers to wear in the building were a treat! Would have loved to have bought them and taken them home! Beds were firm but comfortable with good pillows. There was a pot for tea, with tea bags and hot water (no kettle but you didn't need it because you could ask the staff for anything). We bought the udon noodles (fabulous) for lunch, and booked dinner and breakfast with the room - both traditional style served in the dining area with huge picture windows overlooking and autumn maple forest. The onsen hot baths were so relaxing - they have the traditional women's and men's but you can also book the private onsen for a couple. The bath windows open up into a view of the forest. Waking up in the morning was like a dream with the birds in the autumn trees and the sound of the river below. Don't miss the walk to the river in the morning, I'm not fit but at all but it's an easy walk down and back with shallow steps and flat paths that make it very easy. If you are fit, there are longer walks. The river walk is just perfection. The staff were so kind and lovely. After hours drinks were in the vending machine next door but if you like snacks and want your own drinks you might need to BYO. Such great value for a traditional night's stay, dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended!

The stay was good and I am glad that I opt for the kaseki dinner. The dinner was exceptional and so was the breakfast.

The owner was very welcoming and really nice, the room was very clean and organized, the futon was decently comfortable and the location was fantastic. The stay was great!

VEry interesting traditional japanese breakfast brought to our room.

I appreciate the generous hospitality of host. When we had questions or need help, he responded so quickly. In addition, he gave good advices for staying in Kyoto.

It is a beautiful location, easily reached by bus and an easy walk. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The food is excellent. The walking around the hotel is lovely. The riverside patio is gorgeous. The hotel provided a free shuttle at the end of our stay. We loved everything about this experience.

The location, the room & some of the staff. The breakfast was good

Lovely property. far enough away from the bustle of the city that you enjoy quiet streets and a more local feel.

A very cultural Japanese feel being in the home and we loved it. Location was great, beautiful temple is a 6 minute walk with stores for amenities and restaurants for food nearby. Very easy to communicate with and professional. We will definitely book again when returning.
