    We visited Inakatei in October during our honeymoon for 2 nights to have a real Ryokan (200 years old) experience. Our visit in Inakatei Ryokan was wonderful. For a long time we have not met such a hospitable host - the Lady provided us with all...

    Amazing location, down a quiet street within easy walking distance to all the main sites of Gion. The host was very kind, always available and even gave me a gift of teas when I was leaving as I loved the ones provided so much. Room cleaned and...

    The house is a beautiful 200 year old home and the owner is so lovely. It’s located very close to the stunning Kiyomizu dera temple and in good walking distance of shops and cafes. The property itself has character and the sleeping arrangements...

    Incredible location, charming traditional style, and an incredible and attentive land lady who was so helpful and also very charming despite the language barrier.

    The hostess was lovely, very kind and charming and would always come out to say hello when I returned. The small teahouse I stayed in was perfect for a solo traveller, and the location was very quiet and close to several temple sites for visiting.

    Great experience staying in a traditional Ryokan guesthouse. Wearing kimonos and having breakfast in traditional surroundings added to a great experience.

    It was completely traditional and such a beautiful Japanese building. Perfect for seeing Gion, Kyoto. Our host was the sweetest lady and so welcoming. Highly recommend. Futon beds are a dream.

    An ancient ryokan, owned by the same family for 200 years, set on a beautiful ‘no photo’ back street in Kyoto’s Gion district. A quick stroll to everything in the historic Gion / Higashimaya area, 10 min walk to the station and river. Very...
