Friendly welcoming staff! Nice clean rooms! Does not offer dinner in the rooms.

Staff during the kaiseki meals were great. Explained all the dishes and how to eat them in english. Delivery of courses was timely. The 8 tatami mat room was cozy. Had a dedicated sitting area to enjoy tea by the window. Aircon and air filter worked well. The only inconvenience is that the sink is on the opposite side of the room from the bathroom. The onsen was not crowded at all on a Tuesday night. Overall, an enjoyable one night stay for a couple.

Staff were amazing and made sure we were very comfortable. Super clean place and the Onsen was great. Unique food for breakfast and dinner. 10/10 stay.

Stayed for one night here. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had good amenities. The onsen (bath) at the 6th floor was very nice and had good water temperature, not too hot but pleasantly warm. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast chef was super friendly and spoke good English too - he explained what each dish was clearly. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Kyoto.

We enjoyed our stay so much we can’t wait to experience it again. The staff was amazing. We had the pleasure doing the traditional dinner and breakfast and the meal and service was amazing again!

The stuff we’re amazing they were really warm. They were always help when you need even more than you ask there’s so kind and respectful they help you in anyway to carry to organize everything you’ve ever wanted

Our family of 4 very much enjoyed our stay at Ryokufuso. The meals were excellent and the staff attentive and friendly. We used the onsen bath every night of our stay. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this hotel for a welcoming Japanese experience.

Friendly staff

By far my favorite experience in Japan thus far! The service, fantastic. The staff, incredibly friendly and accomodating. The food, incredible! Thank you so much to Yuka san, Ryuji san, and staff for the incredible experience! Would highly recommend!

Amazing stay! The staff was uktra nice and helpful in every possible way. Their english was good too. Gave us maps made calls, even taught how to use yakatas. Room was very well ryokan made and roomy. Had tea and sweets for us. Bathroom was new and sharp clean. The ryokan feeling was fantastic w comfy futons. I would totally recommend to anyone. Bike rental is abt 4 blocksand they have another company they can arrange one for you. Bus to kyoto station stops in front of hotel but nearesteyro is abt 5 blocks away. This neighborhood is peaceful so you have to bus or metro to the touristy area if you want to be in the action, something to consider regarding location.

First time staying at a Ryokan and it exceeded all my expectations.

Stayed with our two boys and had a wonderful authentic feeling experience. The room had yakatas which we wore to dinner. It was fun to see everyone in the dining room dressed authentically. The dinner was 8 courses of amazing food we would have never been exposed to elsewhere. The room was covered in tatami mats with mattress pads on the floor. There was a TV but we were having so much fun in the room that we never watched it. I had the onsen to myself. It was so hot that I couldn’t sit in it very long. There was tea and broth to make in the room. The experience was full on Japanese Ryoken style that we will enjoy talking about for years. It was a great value for the huge dinner and breakfast that is included plus the onsen experience. I am so glad I selected this property.

The staff was absolutely amazing at the ryokan! They greeted us at the door & explained everything to us and were so kind. Highly recommend this property for an authentic Japanese stay. Very cute and comfortable rooms.

very good service.

The staff made our stay absolutely wonderful! They were so friendly and went above and beyond to help us. We cannot say enough good things about the staff!

All in good condition, very nice staff, excellent service. Only need to adjust is the wifi signal is very low.

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful my stay at Ryokufuso was!! The staff are all extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming. In all my years of traveling, this hotel was undoubtedly the most impressive. On top of the wonderful staff, the accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. I also decided to do the dining experience and it was a delicious 5-course meal served in a lovely private room. Every part of my stay was the best I've ever experienced. I don't often leave reviews, but felt that I needed to let the world know just how much I enjoyed and appreciated my stay at Ryokufuso! I recommend it with my fullest confidence!

Staff were very friendly and helpful, spoke good English, and really made the stay a great experience.

It great in terms of facilities, but what I really loved about the place were the staff they helped us during our stay so much at one point my kimono ripped and one of the staff noticed they said they would sew it for me

Wonderful and friendly staff. Mika is a gem!

10/10! It was gorgeous, the onsen was so relaxing, and the staff was amazing. We were the only Americans there and they were very accommodating and kind helping us navigate the things we were unfamiliar with. We also got a massage and it was magical after a few days walking around Tokyo. This place is awesome.

The Japanese style breakfast were so good, we decided to have dinner with them, they have multiple courses to chose from, very traditional and delicious, competitive prices as well, highly recommend (since there has no many options of traditional Japanese dinner without reservations, and it’s not easy to make a reservation the same day in Kyoto).

The property is older, but that adds to its charm. The staff made the stay very memorable for our final night on our honeymoon trip, gave us a room upgrade and went above and beyond in helping us. Highly recommend!

Only one night, but I enjoyed the breakfast especially, the hot bath, and the quiet.

Place was very friendly for English speakers

The view from my room (economic) was unsightly - a parking lot. The public Ofuro was nice with very hot water. I wish the tea making set was already in the room. I needed it late at night but by then the staff was already gone. The blanket as too small to stay under it comfortably without having your feet uncovered. In general, 'twas good

Amazing find in Kyoto. This was our second stay in a ryokan and we weren't disappointed. The rooms and amenities are fabulous. We loved our tatami room and the onsen was great. What really sets this place apart from other accomodations is the friendly staff who really make your stay special. Lots of little things like a welcome afternoon tea, tea sets availble for the room and the offer of handwarmers when were were on out way out on a cold evening :)

This is a traditional Japanese ryokan that lived up to all my expectations. Everything is spotlessly clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful the Japanese food well prepared and healthy. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Japanese bath on the 6th floor at the start and end of every day. The location is very good too, a 15 minute walk from the main train station but also on a direct bus line, with a stop a few meters from the front door.

Ryokufuso is such a welcoming stay that we look forward to coming back after a long day of walking around. The best part is the public onsen (which is empty most of the time). Rooms were traditional but yet comforting and fits the 4 of us just nicely with our luggages. Service was great, especially housekeeping - refilling our snacks and changing our towels every day. Amenities, we could use the washing machine for free, but dryer requires 100 Yen for 30 mins. Location and access is perfect! We only had to pay a short 5 mins taxi to transport our luggage from Kyoto station, but other than that, it was so easy to walk to Kyoto station and take trains from Kyoto station to Inari station/Kurama or buses to Arashiyama. Convenience store and a really nice Soba shop (招福亭) is just within 5 mins walk. Staff here is really friendly. Would highly recommend this place to stay when you are in Kyoto.

Staff was fantastic, polite, helpful and generous. It felt like home

The hotel is unique. The staffs there are super friendly!

The hospitality of the staff was absolutely fantastic. I look forward to staying here again the next time I'm in Kyoto.
