Yadoya Kikokuso Reviews

It is located within a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, next to "Shosei-en", also known as "Kikokutei", a branch temple of Higashi Honganji Temple. This purely Japanese-style inn is said to have been built over 140 years ago, and exudes a wonderful atmosphere that exudes a sense of harmony. It operates as a ryokan, and can be used regardless of the style of travel, with plans including one night and two meals, as well as breakfast and lodging only. Since it is an inn that serves Kyoto cuisine, we recommend using the two-meal plan. Inside the building, a large pond is created in a small garden. A red arched bridge spans the courtyard, which is very charming. There are four to five rooms that can accommodate one to four people, so you can relax and forget about time. There is a bath and toilet in the room, but we recommend enjoying the private rock bath. The toilet is equipped with a washlet, so it is comfortable to use. It was popular with foreign tourists and was an inn that was difficult to book, but with the disappearance of inbound demand, Japanese tourists have become more noticeable. In addition to accommodation, you can also just come for a meal. Lunchtime kaiseki meals start at 3,300 yen, and dinnertime at 5,000 yen, making it suitable for memorial services and banquets. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they are currently offering a tempura set meal for 1,100 yen as a quick lunch. Lunchtime is from 11:00 to 14:00, with last orders at 13:30. The rooms are spacious private rooms, and you can enjoy your meal while looking at the lovely garden. Each room is limited to four people, so we recommend using it with four or fewer people. Of course, you can use it alone, but I think it's too luxurious to visit alone. Although it is located almost in front of Kyoto Station, I think the set of tempura assortment, rolled omelette, seasonal side dishes, pickles, rice, and miso soup for 1,100 yen is an exceptional price. You can have as much rice as you like. The freshly fried tempura has a crispy batter and is very delicious. It comes with two shrimp and vegetables. Even at chain restaurants in front of the station, it costs 1,500 to 2,000 yen to enjoy tempura. I think everyone will be satisfied with the reasonable tempura set meal, which can be enjoyed quietly and calmly. Since it is not widely advertised, it is open even at lunchtime and you can use it without a reservation. However, if you call in advance, you will be able to be served smoothly. It is a family-run inn, and in addition to the head chef and the female owner, the young head chef and the young female owner will all be there to serve you. The heartfelt and polite service will definitely make you want to come back. Even just eating the food in a nice space will make you enjoy the hospitality as if you were at a high-class restaurant. In fact, it is a restaurant inn with such high satisfaction that I don't want to tell anyone about it. I think that the hospitality is on par with Kitcho and Kikunoi, and it is better, including the access from Kyoto Station. The reasonable lunch business may be only now. Now that the state of emergency has just been lifted, why not try it before returning to normal business hours?
