료칸 교라쿠

When I arrived at 12 noon I was greeted with a "your room is ready!" And pleasantly surprised with the larger than anticipated size of the room. I thought 8 m2 would be the size of a broom cupboard! Instead the room was much larger and had a small seating area with sliding shoji screen doors which were so beautiful. The location was superb. It was within a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station and I was able to visit the Fushimi Inari Torii gates this morning and get back before the 10 am checkout deadline. I was also able to visit both the Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji temples yesterday which are at opposite ends of the city and this is my first time in Kyoto. I have used nothing but public transit since the ryokan is so close to subway and bus stations. The only thing I wished they had was some traditional Japanese food so we could use the dining area which was next to a pretty little garden. Also having some house slippers that fit a bit better would be safer too as I didn't dare take the stairs. Aside from that, the place was spotless and the furniture well-polished. The tatami mats were fresh and flat. Highly recommend, I will definitely stay there again if I'm visiting Kyoto in the future.

욕조는 조금 좁은편이지만 그 외에 불만이 없습니다. 아침공기 맞으면서 아침 타종 소리 듣는게 마름 마음에 들었습니다. 근처에 편의점(2분), 지하철역(7분) 식당은 근처에 많은편입니다. 소음없이 조용히 여행의 하루를 마치기 좋은 숙소였습니다.

Ryokan is very near Kyoto Station and lots of food options ans convenience stores around. Staff are very polite and attentive. Rooms are huge with even a sitting area.

Everything spotless and clean. Close enough to walk everywhere or to train station for those places further away. Staff very helpful

A small unassuming Ryokan which is very near the Kyoto Station. The room was spacious enough for me, clean and had all the amenities. The host was super friendly and accommodating, explaining everything in detail when I checked in and held my luggage for the luggage transporter when I checked out.
