Hotel Chourakukan
Staying at Hotel Chourakukan was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Nestled behind a charming café, this intimate guesthouse has only six rooms—three on the 3rd floor and three on the 4th—each facing a peaceful park with ever-changing seasonal views. Check-in happens at the front café; staff greet you warmly and escort you to the back lounge area for registration, complete with a welcome tea. They even take guests on a private tour of the hidden third-floor Japanese-style space—an unexpected highlight. A complimentary afternoon tea with coffee and pastries is served, and I highly recommend trying their famous strawberry mille-feuille—it’s rich, delicate, and widely praised. The 4th-floor lounge offers a cozy spot to relax with coffee and snacks, while the room fridge is stocked with a generous selection of drinks and beverages. Though the in-house French restaurant wasn’t open during my stay (possibly closed or seasonal), the hotel happily helped arrange reservations at nearby dining spots. Evening ambiance can be enhanced by lighting the private kotatsu—a warm, cozy ritual that burns steadily for about three hours. Breakfast is a thoughtfully curated set menu (no buffet), but every bite feels special. Staff are attentive, genuinely kind, and always smiling—every interaction felt personal and sincere. Room design is minimalist yet elegant, built with high-quality materials throughout, from the furniture to the bathroom essentials, including surprisingly luxurious toilet paper. The quiet, low-traffic environment makes it ideal for a restful retreat. Just note: check-in must be completed before 7 PM since the café is part of the process. With such a small number of guests, peace and privacy are guaranteed. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a unique, soulful escape that stays with you long after you leave.
KIRAKU KYOTO RINPA
Staying at KIRAKU KYOTO RINPA was an absolute delight. This beautifully restored townhouse-style ryokan captures the essence of traditional Japanese architecture with elegant details and a serene atmosphere. We were a family of four, and the spacious rooms comfortably accommodated everyone—no cramped feeling at all. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto on foot or by train, and everything we needed was within easy reach. What truly stood out was the thoughtful touches throughout—the quiet hospitality, the attention to detail in the furnishings, and that authentic sense of calm. It felt less like a hotel and more like staying in a private, well-loved home. I’d absolutely come back for a longer stay next time just to soak in the peaceful vibe. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a genuine, relaxing experience in Kyoto.
Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji hitotose Aki
Staying at this hotel was absolutely one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Kyoto. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions like Gion and Fushimi Inari, and public transportation is super convenient. The building itself won a design award, and it shows in every detail—from the thoughtful layout to the elegant finishes. My room had a private bathroom, but what really stood out was the on-site Japanese-style bath with a soaking tub, plus an outdoor hot spring pool that felt magical under the night sky. The room also came stocked with drinks including beer, wine, and coffee, and even had a high-end fridge and a laundry machine—so much convenience! It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet well-equipped retreat in the heart of Kyoto. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
Maana Kamo
Staying at Maana Kamo was an absolute delight. Nestled in the heart of Kyoto, this hidden gem feels like a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious with excellent privacy—no feeling of crowding at all. But what truly stood out was the bathroom: beautifully designed with a view of a serene little courtyard. Sitting in the tub, watching the subtle changes in light through the wooden slats and the quiet garden outside, felt like pure relaxation. Every detail reflects authentic Kyoto charm—from the materials used to the thoughtful touches in the decor. It's not just a place to sleep; it's an experience that stays with you. Highly recommend for travelers who value tranquility, character, and genuine local atmosphere.
Kyo No Ondokoro Gokomachi Ebisugawa #3
Stayed for seven days at this charming property managed by the Wacoal Group, and I was thoroughly impressed. The platform arranged two housekeeping services during my stay—very thoughtful and convenient. From the moment I stepped in, I noticed the beautiful little garden and the well-maintained outdoor space beyond the living area; both were thoughtfully designed with a serene Japanese aesthetic. Inside, everything was spotlessly clean, with high-quality kitchen appliances and well-equipped facilities that made cooking and daily living a breeze. The dining and living area offered ample space, perfect for relaxing or gathering with friends. One minor drawback: the room facing the street had less-than-ideal soundproofing, so traffic noise could be noticeable at times. Also, neither of the bedrooms had blackout curtains, which meant morning light could wake you up earlier than planned. Despite those small issues, the overall experience was excellent—great location, peaceful atmosphere, and fantastic value. I’d definitely return and recommend it to others looking for a quiet, authentic stay in Kyoto.
Kyoran Kisaragitei
Staying at Kyoran Kisaragitei was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped into the property, I was captivated by the serene garden area—perfectly manicured with traditional Japanese elements that create a calming atmosphere. The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with modern comforts blended seamlessly with classic design. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like high-quality toiletries and excellent bedding. What truly stood out was the location—within walking distance to major attractions like Gion and Kiyomizu-dera, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There are plenty of local cafes, boutiques, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore Kyoto’s charm without needing to travel far. For a peaceful retreat with great convenience, this place is a must-book.
KYORAN RUANTEI
My stay at KYORAN RUANTEI was absolutely delightful! From the moment I arrived, everything felt thoughtfully designed—clean, quiet, and full of charm. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto; major attractions are just a short walk or quick subway ride away. My room was spacious and cozy, with excellent comfort that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were warm and attentive without being intrusive, and little touches like complimentary drinks added a nice personal touch. I truly felt at home. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next trip to Kyoto—highly recommend this hidden gem!
Shirasagi Kyoto
Staying at Shirasagi Kyoto was an absolute delight! The rooms were spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with two bedrooms and a bathroom/shower on the ground floor—super convenient. The second floor features a spacious open-plan living area and kitchen that opens directly onto the Kamo River, offering breathtaking views. Waking up to the sound of flowing water and watching the sunlight dance on the river was pure magic. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, offering thoughtful touches and helpful local tips. It felt like staying in a home away from home, not just a rental. A perfect blend of comfort, location, and hospitality—highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful yet authentic Kyoto experience.
Hanagoromo Machiya House
Staying at Hanagoromo Machiya House was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the subway station, making it super convenient to explore Kyoto’s top spots like Gion and Fushimi Inari. The traditional machiya-style architecture gives the place a unique charm, while modern amenities ensure comfort—plush bedding, a well-designed bathroom with perfect dry/wet separation, and plenty of natural light. Even though the space isn’t huge, it feels open and thoughtfully laid out, giving you that cozy, personal feel of staying in your own little Kyoto home. I loved wandering the quiet streets nearby, grabbing fresh bread in the morning, and enjoying sunset views along the river. The staff were warm and helpful, always ready to assist. With its authentic vibe, excellent value, and prime location, this place is a must-try for anyone wanting to experience real Kyoto life. I’ll definitely be back!
JEUGIYA
Staying at JEUGIYA was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment you step into this beautifully restored traditional Japanese wooden house, you're greeted by a serene atmosphere that blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. The interior maintains its vintage charm while being thoughtfully updated with convenient, contemporary amenities—perfect balance. Every corner is immaculately clean, and the subtle scent of fresh wood and garden herbs adds to the peaceful vibe. The garden is meticulously maintained and made for stunning photos—every angle feels like a postcard. Our hosts welcomed us with a warm cup of matcha tea and a delicious homemade dessert, setting the tone for a truly homely experience. We pre-booked breakfast, and it was hands-down one of the best meals we’ve had in Kyoto—simple, fresh, and full of flavor. The care and attention to detail from the hosts were genuinely touching; they made us feel not just like guests, but like family. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in authentic Japanese culture without sacrificing comfort, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend—it’s more than a hotel, it’s a memory in the making.
Tsukikusa an Machiya House
Staying at Tsukikusa an Machiya House was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with authentic Kyoto machiya charm—just walking in felt like stepping into a traditional Japanese home. Its location is incredibly convenient; everything we wanted to visit was just a short walk or quick transit away. We stayed for two nights and found the atmosphere peaceful and welcoming, with excellent value compared to regular hotels. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. If you're looking for a genuine, local-style stay in Kyoto that offers comfort, culture, and affordability, this place is a must-try. Definitely planning to return next time we visit!
Bonbori an Machiya House
We absolutely loved our stay at Bonbori an Machiya House! Nestled in the heart of the pedestrian zone near Yasaka Pagoda, the location is charming but requires a short walk to reach main roads for taxis, Uber, or buses. If you're traveling with large luggage, I highly recommend using their luggage delivery service—avoiding the cobblestone streets with heavy bags makes all the difference. Wandering around Ninenzaka and Kiyomizudera early in the morning or late at night was pure magic—the quiet streets offered perfect photo opportunities without the crowds. The machiya itself is cozy and thoughtfully designed, slightly smaller than expected but very functional. Just a heads-up: if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. The paper-thin walls mean every sound carries, so be mindful of noise levels inside. Despite that, the atmosphere, location, and attention to detail made this a memorable experience. Highly recommend for travelers seeking authentic Kyoto charm.
