Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

Absolutely loved the character and charm of the hotel, the facilities, the lounge area for breakfast/evening drinks, ease of use of the washer/dryer that was there. The hotel was in a quiet residential section of Kyoto, yet access to Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace and downtown Kyoto was very easy and within a 15 minute walk. Access to the train stations and Uber/Taxi's were equally easy. Amazing local restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel - highly recommend Daigan around the corner for an amazing sushi with an engaging/entertaining/welcoming chef.

In the Nakagyo Ward district of Kyoto, close to Kyoto International Manga Museum, 谷町君・星屋旅館・神泉ノ宿 二条城 has a garden, free WiFi and a washing machine. The property is situated 2.2 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall, 2.9 km from Samurai Kembu Kyoto and 3.1 km from Gion Shijo Station. The property is 500 metres from the city centre and less than 1 km from Nijo Castle.

The property is located in central Kyoto, near Nijo-jo castle, one of the main attraction in Kyoto. Also it is located near to the station. The facilities of the accommodation is very good, especially the washing machine, dryer and kitchen, which make it easier for groups or families to stay for couple of days. This is not a typical hotel, though. More like a self-serviced guesthouse located in one of central Kyoto neighborhood. So the service and availability of staff is not at par with normal hotels. Regardless, for people traveling in group or family, I think this property gives more flexibility.

The top address to stay during a trip in Kyoto. It’s a really nice place to stay. We enjoyed every moment. The host was very kind and explained not only the facilities but also showed us what you can do in and around Kyoto. Villa Ninja is a great place created with lots of details. I would book it again on my next travel to Kyoto. Thank you!

Situated in Kyoto, 500 metres from Kyoto International Manga Museum,Kyoto Machiya Fukune is an accommodation with a garden. The accommodation has a hot tub.

The holiday home provides guests with a balcony, a seating area, a TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with an oven, and a private bathroom with bath. A microwave, a toaster and fridge are also featured, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle.

It is in a great, central location for walking to nearby places, such as Nishiki Market. There are two washer/dryer machines available, including detergent. The exterior and interior feel as you would expect a traditional Japanese house to be. The outdoor and indoor tubs were great, as was the shower. Loved the plentiful Japanese-style robes. The staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond when we needed assistance. They also gave us a small refrigerator full of free beverages (including sodas and alcohol). Each room had a heater, so we never had an issue keeping warm. On arrival, they also served us a nice green tea welcome. The washer/dryer machines both broke down somehow while we had a sopping wet load of clothes in. The staff apologized and took those clothes and our other unwashed dirty laundry somewhere to have them washed/dried for us. When we were to depart, we needed a large taxi to carry all of our luggage, but there was no Uber XL available. The staff helped us by trying to phone for taxis, and when that didn't work they actually went on foot to two different busier streets to find a large taxi and wave them down to our street to pick us up. We were afraid we'd miss our shinkansen, but thanks to their effort, we made it.

The whole place was kept tidy at all times and provided excellent space to meet people. The place was also surprisingly soundproof and offered a nice window into experiencing the city through the design of the hostel.

    The building has an open courtyard with fireplaces and cozy areas to sit and chat to other travelers. They offer a free drink every day which is a nice touch. Great location behind the station, and very quiet at night. Room size was ok, and we had a good size balcony.

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    I liked everything. I have been staying here once in 2019, and it was still as cozy as i remembered. The location is close to the train station, and the common room is super nice and cosy. The bunk beds are big and has privacy curtains, which i loved. I stayed during New Years and the host had arranged New Years dinner for the guests. I did not join but i though that was very kind and a nice offer for all of us travelling during the holidays.

    The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.
