We had a nice stay at this ryokan. Room spacious enough for 4 adults. Restaurant,convenience stores and Yodabashi shopping mall you can easily find here. Easy access to Kyoto station, even you can take bus number 205 to reach the ryokan (bus no. 205 route to Kinkakuji). Front desk staffs are very helpful and english savvy. Highly recommended.

Check in has to be done at Capsule ryokan and you can leave your luggage there if you are too early for check in. Guesthouse is 10 to 15 mins away from Kyoto Station and bus terminal. Throughout my stay I did not see any staff at budget inn, but it was okay. We had tatami ensuite room for 3... More

Lovely place and lovely, helpful people. Everything was great. Easy access from Kyoto station and other transport. Wanted to stay longer. Even with our family of 4 adults we found the room comfortable and very cosy. Definitely want to return one day. Highly recommended.

The directions we received by e-mail led us from the Kyoto JR station to the Inn with no difficulty. The walk was an... More

This was one of the few places we could find which would accomodate 4 people in one room. My children loved the Japanese style lodging. I found the mats on the floor more comfortable than any of the beds we slept in during our stay in Japan. We were able to check in early and was offered to store our... More
