Ryokan meal was excellent, 5 stars! The most authentic dining experience we ve ever had. Meticulously prepared courses served in true Japanese tradition. A MUST DO for both breakfast and lunch!!!

The room itself was typical minimalist Japanese and very clean. We had a little trouble going up and down the steep stairs to the bedroom, made harder with no stair rails. Make sure you are fit enough to eat and sleep on the floor also. Something our Western bodies needed to get used to. A great experience overall in a perfect quiet location.

highly recommend for a traditional Ryokan in Kyoto

We had the most incredible two night stay here. We had a group of four and it was very easy to stay in a shared room. It was luxurious and cozy. The staff at the hotel is the kindest and most lovely people we have met along our stay. Such a special, traditional experience. The breakfast was amazing.

No “Luxury”- Disappointing Experience

We had high hopes for Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo but were sadly disappointed. The staff were kind (although we never heard back from the manager after voicing our complaints multiple times through the reception desk and Expedia messages while still at the hotel), but the accommodations fell short, especially at $1,000 per night.

On two occasions, the shower had no hot water. After a long day of sightseeing and walking many miles, a hot shower that turns ice cold and never got warm again (even after 5 minutes) was not a nice experience. We had *not* run the bath, so there was no reason tied to our own water usage that should have caused this. Additionally, the shower drain is clogged, causing dirty water to pool over an inch deep every time you use the shower. Standing in scuzzy water up to your ankles is not pleasant.

I feel I have to also mention there is a general sense of uncleanliness in the room. For example, mold on the wall under the towel rack - among other dirty walls and uncleanliness around the bathroom sink; we also found the teapot dirty with mildew and old water in the bottom.

Finally, the wall heater is extremely loud and shuts off and on continuously; also, you can hear every word of your hotel room neighbor’s conversation, all detracting from the hoped-for peace and quiet of a garden Ryokan.

We hope this feedback helps in improving the experience for future guests.

We booked in here on a short trip to Kyoto where we wanted an authentic local experience but didn’t have time to travel out into the rural regions. This was the perfect place. Our room was incredible and included two baths, a balcony and plenty of space. The staff are exceptionally friendly and fun. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese experience and we loved it. I didn’t know what to expect when I booked this place, but so glad we stayed here and would highly recommend. Thanks to the staff there for a wonderful and memorable stay.

We were blown away by how warm and welcoming Kanako, Haruka and Misaki were from the moment we stepped into the property to the moment we left in our cab. Their level of thoughtfulness was beyond exceptional and gave you a sense of being in a home away from home - I believe this is what made our stay a very memorable one.

Our room was very clean with super comfortable beds (had the best sleep of my trip here), a very well-stocked minibar (including curated sake and teas) as well as amazing facilities (including the Shigaraki bath that overlooked the bird bath in the in-room garden). The property was also in a quiet residential area (recommend taking a cab here or reaching out to the property to seek the best route for getting there via public transport) that was a short walk to Nijo Castle and also within walkable distance to Nishiki Market. Our taste buds were also blesed by the Irori breakfast and Sukiyaki dinner where fresh ingredients were cooked before you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend staying here for at least two nights so you can not only enjoy the property and the food but also the familial warmth from the staff.

This is a very unique Japanese hotel. It's a high-end ryokan with open-air bath.

The service is hands down the best I've ever had. We asked the staff where to go and they gave us a post card in beautiful hand drawing with QR code pasted on it for all the places we should go to check Sakura trees and current events.

The breakfast is top-notch Japanese food. I cannot recommend this place enough if you want to experience Japan.

Everything is so great in this hotel. If you’re expecting hot bath inside the wooden bath tub, this place may not satisfies you but here is a relax place with complimentary Japanese tea.

Absolutely unique experience. We were greeted by hosts who took our bags and shoes and gave us slippers. One of our hosts then held our matcha tea ceremony in our traditional room, with tatami mats, a low table, etc. Each evening, we relaxed in the onsen-style hot tub in the nature area outside the room. And in the mornings, we had traditional Kyoto food items cooked in front of us and served to us by a friendly conversational chef. The staff all spoke good English.

The hotel is extremely spacious and well-decorated. We have a private hot spring in our room. The room even have two decks (two serious full decks, not a mezzanine deck)! Staff were very friendly and showed warm welcome.

Perfect stay

I can't say enough good things about this Ryokan, the service was spectacular, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, we ended up staying in different rooms and each one was unique, spacious, clean and comfortable. we only booked one night because we were concerned that it wouldn't be as nice as the pictures but we ended up adding 2 more nights on (which is why we changed rooms) they have bikes to rent right outside which was super convenient for getting around, but they did call us a taxi when needed and helped with excellent dinner recommendations and reservations. Loved our stay!

Overall this was a very nice experience for us. The staffs were very nice and attentive. We especially liked the fulton beddings which were soft and very comfortable. The caveat to staying at this hotel is you have to be used to sitting on floor for long time. I cannot sit on the floor in any forms for longer than 5 minutes. They don't have a table of regular height to offer. We stayed there for 5 days and it was hard for us to overcome. Other than that, everything else is fine.

Amazing place,location and staff.Get the breakfast

Simply the best stay of our two week trip. The staff and accommodations were amazing. They have an in house tea ceremony and a traditional breakfast that should not be missed. We had the matcha room that has its own personal garden and soaking tub. I highly recommend this ryokan. Plus it is located on a very quiet street.

Absolutely Perfect!

I was somewhat hesitant to stay here because of the price but once I arrived I knew we had made the right choice. The place is somewhat difficult to find so I suggest using a Taxi. The staff greeted us right at the door and spoke perfect English. They gave us nice little slippers and we left our shoes at the door. They then took us to our room and wow....it was so beautiful. We settled in and then were given some tea, which was done so in a very old fashioned traditional manner. We left the hotel for a bit to do some sight-seeing and then arrived back at the hotel after dinner. After all the walking we were ready to relax. Perfect time to try out the hot tub. It was amazing. Sat in there for a good hour and then were ready to call it a night. The beds were extremely comfortable and I slept like a log.

Stay here, you’ll be pleased you did

We arrived early and it was no problem to leave our bags while we went and did some sightseeing.
Upon our return our bags were in the room and room beautifully presented. One of the staff showed us around the room and the features. We went for the 2 bed room as there were 4 of us. Very clean and new. Extremely comfortable beds and excellent air con. This is a more modern Ryokan than we have stayed in but we really liked that, as it felt fresh, modern but also authentic, ie tatami mats and futons, plus we had our very own hot tub( onsen) on our private balcony! When we arrived 2 staff came to our room and performed a matcha tea ceremony. This was a beautiful welcome, and really delicious too!
Breakfast the next morning was an absolute highlight! Kuzu was our personal chef, who cooked simple but delicious fresh vegetables and meat over a hot charcoal grill in front of us. His English was excellent which was great as we were able to ask lots of questions about food, culture, sightseeing, etc
Location was a little out of the hub of Kyoto, but we just called taxis when we wanted to go further afield. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, we would have liked a few more.
