This ryokan has to be the most authentic, comfortable, and friendliest stay in Kyoto. The morning kaiseki breakfast was delectable. All staff I interacted with were extremely kind and made every effort to help with any language barriers. The room was spacious, tatami-covered, and had a comfortable futon with all the thoughtful amenities you’d expect in a modern hotel. Will certainly be back when I visit Kyoto again!

Wonderful Ryokan. A new and unique breakfast each day was a special touch on top of the Kaiseki dinner (all of which were very Japanese flavours- we loved, but may not be for those who prefer western flavours). The only thing would be that it would be nice to make the booking all in one rather than having to book the kaiseki night separately. Would very happily return.

This is a very traditional hotel. We slept on tatami and ate the Kaiseki dinner in our room. It’s a rather expensive stay but we got to try it.

Our family had a great experience staying at Ryokan Kinoe. It has all the traditional Japanese accommodations. Large rooms, tatami floors, Japanese kimono/ robes, experience public bath if you want but each room has it’s own bath, shower & separate toilet. Very quiet area but walking distance to Gion/ downtown area of Kyoto, temples & shrines. The traditional Japanese meal/ dinner is also a must experience! Excellent place to stay & the staff is very friendly & helpful. Highly recommended!

Excellent Ryokan experience
Excellent experience for my teenager, who loves Japanese culture; the check in was excellent, very personal and made us feel special ad welcome; the room was spacious and typical of a Ryokan with tatami floor and futon; service in front desk and in restaurant was awesome, highly recommended.

Delicious dinner and wonderful service
This was a beautiful and clean Ryoksn hotel - the food for dinner was wonderful and the service so friendly. The futons were not the most comfortable to sleep on but the room was very spacious with an alcove for sitting (but only two actual chairs). The onsen was small and not the most aesthetic, but fortunately was alone in the bath.
