This was our first traditional ryokan we had stayed in for our holiday. The staff spoke enough English for us to be able to leave our bags earlier in the day. A nice surprise was the traditional tea ceremony that was performed when we arrived. The lady conducting it seemed to have no English at all but we managed to understand each other and it was a lovely touch to our stay. The sleeping arrangements are traditional tatami mats and we all slept very well, the only negative was the accommodation was covered in scaffolding so we couldn't enjoy the view over the temple.

“Pleasant and economical Ryokan near Kyoto station”

We staid in this nice Ryokan for 1 night and we find it coherent with our expectation: the room was wide and clean, the futon comfortable and the view astonishing: we could see the main gate of the near temple. The ofuro great and relaxing. And the breakfast delicious; we were satisfied from the st… lisää

We staid in this nice Ryokan for 1 night and we find it coherent with our expectation: the room was wide and clean, the futon comfortable and the view astonishing: we could see the main gate of the near temple. The ofuro great and relaxing. And the breakfast delicious; we were satisfied from the staff too: we are able to speak a little of Japanese, so there weren't problems. We high recommend this structure: only 15 minutes by foot from Kyoto Station, relaxing location and good place to stay in Kyoto.

Stayed one night in Izumiya on our very first trip to Japan and thus our first stay in a traditional Japanese Inn. Firstly its very convenvient for central Kyoto /Kyoto Station maybe 10 mins walk max. Also its right opposite a Temple/Shrine which is well worth a short visit. Price wise very good value but experience wise, if you have never done this type of hotel, quite fab. We really loved the welcome we had from the staff in traditional dress; the introduction to the room, including a mini tea ceremony etc. The traditional room with futons and kimonos to wear was great and the traditional design of the room was lovely. Bathroom was a bit basic tho but thats only a minor quibble. We also really loved the traditional Japanese breakfast, again served with a bit of ritual. whetheer you stay here or not we would recommend a Ryokan experience for at least of your stay in Japan or Kyoto.

This is an old & dated Japanese style ryokan. We booked it as our children were curious to sleep on the futon. The floor was hard and we couldn’t sleep well during our stay. The best part of this hotel is the traditional Japanese breakfast, beautifully presented, treat for the eyes to appreciate the one who prepared it & a delight for the palettes to appreciate it. Another factor is the Ofuro (hot water bath that was opened till midnight. How about the room ? Well, there could have been some cupboard Shelves to it down ourselves.,
