Guest Houses in Kyoto near Old Rissei Elementary SchoolGuesthouse

We stayed at the Kaikoan for four nights and we absolutely loved it!
When we arrived we were greeted by Sumi-san and Chie who made us feel very welcome.

Couldn’t recommend Kaikoan enough. The hosts were so lovely and helpful.

Perfect location right in the region.
Typical room with everything you need in the common areas.
Linda and her husband were extremely helpful during our entire stay.
We will return with pleasure.

Don't hesitate: a dream location. The hosts are more than charming. It’s ideally located. There's really nothing to complain about, from comfort to pleasure, it was perfect. Many thanks.

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful 3 night stay here at Yadoya Manjiro. Upon walking in through the gate the stone path was well manicured, lush, and inviting.

Probably the best hotel experience I‘ve ever had. The rooms are beautiful, the location is amazing and the service and hospitality is the best I have ever seen.

Great apartment with a lovely host who used Google Translate to explain everything. Fabulous location very close to Nishiki market. Very fast Wi-Fi also!

We stayed here with our ten month old baby. It was perfect for our short stay in Kyoto. Highly recommended guesthouse in a fantastic location, just minutes from Nishiki markets.

Great to be completely on our own for some days!
We had the small house with Western table and chairs an a Japanse ceramic bath!

Fantastic authentic inn located in gion area. Very quiet. Steep steps to sleeping so able bodied only. Air con. Lovely communication and greeting by staff.

Typical Japanese experience. The room is spacious, we slept on the tatames/futons which the staff makes for you. And kudos to the staff that are beyond helpful and gentle.

It was good to experience a Japanese ryokan. The room was fairly big as compared to other Japanese hotels we stayed in. The Wi-Fi was very bad in the rooms though.

Such a wonderful place to stay at! it’s by the shirakawa river which is so peaceful and quiet and it’s only a 8 minute walk.
Away from the nearest station.

Its a nice place just owner has a few strict rules but easy to follow, area where it is located is nice too.

I read some of the cleanliness reviews prior and had none of those issues, we stayed here for 4-5 days and of all the hotels we stayed in, more and less expensive, this was all in all the cleanest.

This is a nice place to stay if you want to experience an authentic and traditional ryokan an amazing Japanese experience you would want to know/live at least once, staff was friendly and room was

This is good quality for very budget travel. The rooms are simple but comfortable with good air conditioning. There is a toilet, shower and sinks on every floor.

Perfect location 25/20mn walking from downtown and numbers of sights. Very kind and helpful staff. Good atmosphere in the shared space.

Family of three were very comfortable here. Good size room, very good size bathroom. The location is great in a quiet street.

Great location, easy to check in, comes with washing machine and dryer, downside if you stay top floor, you’ll need to carry your luggage up, if you stay lower floor, you’ll heard the footsteps from

I had a last minute change in my schedule so I stayed here one night on a whim as a solo traveller just for a traditional Japanese room.

We had an amazing stay at Ryokan Kohro.

Worthy of a Sixth Star.
This machiya is undoubtedly a hidden treasure in Kyoto. It perfectly marries the charm of a traditional Japanese house with the convenience of modern amenities.

The nostalgic atmosphere of the room and open-air bath will soothe you.
Comes with IH heater and sink. Glasses and tableware are also available, so you can prepare simple meals.

Amazing Hostel with a Prime Location!
The location couldn't be better—just a short walk from the station, making it super convenient to explore nearby attractions.

Thank you so much for opportunity to stay in Kyoto. Lovely neighbourhood. Good location near of metro station. Great hostel and easy check in. Probably next time we will stay in this place.

Nice place for 1 night to feel like in real japan. Tea for welcoming is served. Breakfast is very nice.

I absolutely LOVED this little teahouse hotel. It's very beautiful and so homely you just feel so welcomed like you're staying with a host family.

Agoda gave their price for this place but unbeknown to me they directly took the price quoted plus the local taxes from my credit card.

I found this place clean and super comfortable, I booked through booking and it was written clear that there is a 6000¥ fee to pay to clean, people who put 1 star should learn to read before booking.

I stayed here for one night and I regret not staying longer.
The style of the place makes you feel the real Japanese experience, the bed is so comfortable. Location is great.

I stayed here almost 11 years ago and I plan on returning this year. I stayed in Japan for 6 weeks and this was my favourite place to stay.

Fantastic experience staying at this traditional ryokan just down the road from the iconic Kiyomizu Dera.

Had a super nice first ryokan experience here!

I LOVED my stay here. The staff was so kind and always did their best to communicate with me even though I don’t speak Japanese. They even showed me the proper way to enjoy my meals.
