Yado Kiramachi

LikedTraditional setting and room is spacious

DislikedNone

LikedPerfect way to experience a Ryokan in a very nice street close to key areas. Extremely clean and tidy. The highlight is the outdoor bath!

DislikedStairs are a bit uncomfortable, we preferred to leave our luggage downstairs and only took upstairs what we needed.

LikedThis ryokan is a gem! Everything was great even before we arrived. The staff has been super helpful (thank you again Tada), the village is in a calm street away from noise but still close to the subway, the room was amazing all wooden and traditional, the private wooden onsen outside was gorgeous, and the list goes on… Highly recommended!

LikedYado Kiramachi is a wonderfully traditional and tastefully restored property in the heart of Kyoto. Despite being so proximate, the villa is nothing less than a quiet, tranquil escape - especially soaking in the Japanese Cypress private onsen. A bus stop is conveniently located just outside the facility, making travel around Kyoto incredibly easy. The staff are very helpful, friendly and attentive, providing recommendations for places to eat and how to get around. Overall, I could not recommend Yado Kiramachi enough to anybody looking for a true Japanese experience during their stay in Kyoto!

DislikedAbsolutely nothing, it was perfect!

LikedThe staff are incredibly responsive and kind, the space is stunning and peaceful, the rooms are beautiful and spacious. I could go on and on. We only wish we could have stayed longer, but when we booked, we got the only room left for the only two nights it was available during our trip! We loved the soaking tub, the private garden, the comfy futon, and the yukatas that were provided in the room. There are also a few vending machines only steps away, a convenience store across the street, incredible restaurants near by, a bus station close by, and a subway station only an 8-min walk away. Would love to return and stay for longer!

DislikedThere seemed to be only one small trash can in the upstairs bathroom, so our trash accumulated a bit over our stay. It would have been nice to have another trash can, especially considering there are not many public trash cans in Kyoto!
