I stayed at Kamuroan for 5 nights at the end of a 3-week trip. In terms of accommodation, this was the definitive highlight of my time in Japan. I still can't quite believe how amazing this guest house is.
The owners are incredibly friendly and truly committed to making one's stay here the best experience possible. They also give great tips and recommendations for sightseeing and travel in Kyoto. The house itself is beautiful and perfectly clean at all times, the room I had as a solo traveller was very spacious and comfortable. If you are looking for a traditional japanese living experience, it doesn't get much better than this.
The breakfast cooked by the hostess easily surpassed most of the restaurants I had tried during my trip and it comes with the hospitality and warmth of a family meal. I even got to try making traditional matcha tea! Generally, the experience is much closer to a homestay than a hotel, with the lovely Okamisan greeting you whenever you come back from touring the city and always ready to help out.
Additionally, Kamuroan is located right in the middle of the Higashiyama district, basically around the corner from Sannenzaka, putting some of the most popular tourist attractions easily within walking distance. For such a premium location you'd pay loads extra at any regular hotel.
The thoroughly perfect reviews for this place are more than deserved. I hope that I can come back soon!

The Okami-san so sweet! She wanted to make sure we had the best stay. We arrived to Kyoto early and was able to communicate to her of our arrival. She was willing to let us drop of our bags, go for a stroll around the neighborhood and come back to check in early.
She was very attentive but also allowed us to have our space. Her property is lovely and clean and really makes you feel like you have an authentic Japanese type stay. She has signs everywhere to show you how to do things or learn about Japanese culture.
Loved the experience, would highly recommend if you’re looking for something outside of your typical hotel. Looking forward to another visit

Fantastic place to stay in Kyoto! You feel like you are in a traditional Japanese home. There are two rooms. We stayed in the downstairs room which can easily accommodate 4 people. The place is extraordinarily clean and comfortable. The hosts are among the nicest people you will meet and make your stay unique and wonderful. It is within walking distance of many of the attractions in Kyoto. Be sure to get the traditional Japanese breakfast at least one morning too. This is a must do Japanese experience.

I had an amazing time at Okai.San's ryokan. First, she is super nice and sweet. I am already missing her super fresh, yummy, and elaborate breakfast. I love matcha tea so much!- and Okami-San made me one after breakfast. She understand and speak some English and also was able to answer my questions about places I wanted to visit, and she gave me tips. She was also very nice to my Japanese friend. I told her I want to go back to Kyoto and stay again on her property. Thanks, Okami-San! I am back home now.
Best,

The hostess Okami-san was wonderful. She spoke enough English for us to be able to converse. She was always very helpful and accommodating. The traditional Kyoto breakfast she prepared was very good. Okami-san was great at explaining cultural differences and ways to do things. Really felt like we got the traditional Japanese experience we were looking for. I highly recommend this ryokan!

I wanted a traditional Japanese Ryokan experience and it exceeded my expectations. Please select a home cooked breakfast meal. You won’t be disappointed. Friendly conversation with the land lady who is a delight.

What an awesome experience you will have here. Ok am I and her husband are so nice and helpful. Felt like part of the family. Whether it was laundry, calling a taxi, making a meal for us, it was all great. I can’t thank you enough for helping us out with the luggage forwarding and the bullet train schedule during the typhoon. We made it to Mt Fuji with your help. We will stay here again when in Kyoto.

Our host was just lovely, thoughtful, and considerate. The ryokan is comfortable and well located near Gion.

I chose this Ryokan based on the reviews I had read - and I am so glad I did. From the moment I booked the excellent hospitality started with emails filled with information about local sights and logistics. We stayed for 5 wonderful nights and received amazing hospitality. Okami-san went out of her way to share the local culture and information and we really felt like we saw the best of Kyoto. From dressing us in yukata for our walk into town, to showing us how to make traditional Japanese food each morning - she did everything she could to make us enjoy the experience. We had 2 rooms downstairs which gave plenty of space and even though we shared a bathroom, I didn't ever see anyone else. Tea / coffee / soft drinks along with biscuits and chocolate are always available which made it seem like home! The Ryokan is close to the main sites and only a 15 minute walk to the centre of town. There is a bus stop 5 minutes walk away and the bus network is great. If you want to experience real Japanese hospitality - then this is the only place you need ever stay. Just wonderful. Okami-san, many thanks to you and your husband for making our holiday so memorable.(To add - there is an outstanding restaurant very close by called Okonomiyaki Kiraku. Don't leave Kyoto without visiting!).

This was such a welcome reprieve after the hustle and bustle of Kyoto! Beautiful home, very organized and tidy:) Our hosts were exceptionally polite and kind, even helping us learn the local slang so that we could communicate like natives. I recommend this Ryokan for any first-time visitors to Japan, as well as tourists looking to relax after a long day. You arw in good hands here!

I traveled with my 12 year old son. Our host was wonderful and took great care of us over 4 nights. Our host made us traditional Kyoto breakfast. The location can’t be beat. So many sites and restaurants are but a short walk. I highly recommend Kamari-An for families.

We were here for two nights and this was a great place to stay. We were made to feel very welcome. The room was well appointed and the host lovely. We walked into Kyoto, and to from the station but the hotel is also very close to bus stops and train subway stations if you don't want to walk. If you want to buy some pottery there are lots of great shops in the area. If I was going back to Kyoto I would stay here again.

Okami is the best host you'll ever have in your travel. Book this place already, it will be the best decision you've made on your trip. Her hospitality is 6 (out of 5) stars and she welcomes you to her ryokan like it is her home. She and her husband will take care of you. She is a perfectionist, and she always tries to accommodate 110% (even before we realized we need something). The ryokan is immaculate. Her breakfast is overwhelmingly delicious and really a steal for the attention to detail and time invested in preparing for the meal (you must order it in advance before arrival). Don't be scared about the shared bathrooms. There are 2 bathrooms and 2 showers for 3 rooms so you'll barely noticed other guests. This is exemplary of Japanese hospitality. Thank you for this wonderful and memorable experience.

It’s amazing place to stay as you feel it’s a home and experience of a Japanese traditional life style.

My daughter and I stayed here for three amazing nights. Okami san is a super gracious host, more like a personal friend inviting you to stay with them. She greeted us early in the day to store our luggage until check in, and pointed out the sights we might want to see that day. The location and the room were both magnificent! She greeted us each morning with a traditional breakfast, and was always there for us and our many questions. Don’t let the shared shower and toilets scare you, with only 3 rooms I never encountered another person. Okami san knew my daughter loved these disposable paper pour over coffee filters, and presented her with a package when we left. All I can say is...this place is golden!

It’s a small family home run by a warm, friendly and helpful woman and her husband. You sleep ryokan style, on tatami mats. It was very comfortable. Be aware, you must share bathroom facilities, but don’t let that stop you from staying here. It’s in a great location and was fun.

Staying here really enhanced our visit to Kyoto. Our host was so lovely - extremely helpful and acommodating. She really went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed at the home but also information and advice about activities and bookings in Kyoto.
The house was a lovely traditional style and our room was big and clean. It was in a location that was easy to walk to interesting things, shops and transport.

Only 5mins walk from Kiyomizu area and close to Yasaka-jinja or Gion.
You must try to early-bird walking around this area, you will see different scene of Kyoto.
