Kyonoyado Kagihei

This place is run by a fantastic couple who also live in the building, like a "mom & pop" bed & breakfast in a way. The friendliness of the staff was unparallelled in our entire nine day japan trip with multiple stays. The places gives you that authentic, although not very comfortable, feel, with floor seating and floor sleeping. So for having that type of experience, which I do recommend for at least a night or two, this is a good spot. Very nice location, close to the more interesting central spots of the city. Some drawbacks were a 11 PM curfew, meaning you had to get back by that time, which was a bit too early for our tastes, but it worked out fine. Another drawback for those who like to bring a few drinks back to their room (from the hotel vending machine or shop it in beforehand) and stay up a bit late, is that the breakfast here is not really voluntary. That cute old lady will call you up about it in the morning, so the second morning we felt compelled to join even though we werent in the best shape after a fun night the night before. Also, the place needs some touch-ups, you get that "grandma's house" feel with old interior, a bit scruffy, some older facilities etc. Not a bad place, and again, wow for the staff, but if you like grabbing some beers and staying up late then you should probably choose another place.

The staff are so friendly and helpful and speak very well English. The place is so clean and dust free! It’s a well maintained facility with hot drinks, public bath and laundry service. My child loved it. And the place is only 1 min walk from Nishiki Market. I wished I booked more days.

Perfect stay ! We booked 7 night in this beautiful ryokan and really enjoyed our expérience. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. I The ryokan is also well situated. We recommand without any hesitation!

Was a delightful ryokan with exceptional service. Naturally it's a little older than most modern hotels, but an excellent experience. The owners, were delightful and extremely accommodating.

Lovely stay in Family Home. Host and family went above and beyond our expectations.
