Yumotokan

8/10 Good

"Comfort and relaxation"

Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property, staff were excellent, helpful and accommodating. Very comfortable, well designed room."

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

8/10 Good

"Staff was extremely accommodating; including when last minute changes were needed or when small problems arose. The food was authentic and quite impressive. All members of the staff maintained a professional, above-and-beyond-friendly demeanor. Their English was excellent (but as always, one should learn some of the local language no matter what) and they remained responsive, courteous, and willing to help with any issue. I wish we had more time to explore the area, but the direct surroundings were historical, lush, and beyond astounding! Interesting local wildlife as well!"
