We were a family of four and stayed for one night at Seikoro — and everything about our experience, from the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell, was truly exceptional. We had chosen to include breakfast, and it was absolutely delightful. The in-house public onsen bath added a special touch of relaxation to our stay. It’s an experience we’ll never forget. A heartfelt thank you to the staff who made us feel so welcomed and cared for. We would recommend Seikoro to family and friends visiting Kyoto.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at this Ryokan. Contrary to what I was led to believe, the multi-course kaiseki dinner was not included in the booking. In fact, no one ever asked if I wanted to include it. Had I known, I absolutely would have added it, as the kaiseki dinner is often considered the highlight of the Ryokan experience—especially since I paid nearly $1,400 USD for the stay.

While all the staff were extremely kind and courteous, the overall experience didn’t justify the price. Aside from the traditional Japanese breakfast and the old-style public bath, there wasn’t much to set this apart from other hotels I’ve stayed in—many of which offered similar amenities, including Japanese robes (yukata), at a much more reasonable price.

I loved our stay at the ryokan. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy yourself, and the hospitality we experienced really made the trip. From serving our dinner to setting up our beds for the night, they were friendly, respectful, and really made sure we were relaxing and enjoying ourselves.

Our room was quite large and included our own bath and sitting area. We had a view of the back garden. It was clean and comfortable. We chose to have the kaiseki dinner (additional cost), which they served in our room. The Kaiseki dinner we got was delicious and I loved how they explained each course to us.

There is a public bath in the ryokan, which we took advantage of a few times. I only encountered two people the whole time we were there, and it felt like it was my own private bathhouse.

All in all was a wonderful experience and would love to stay here again.

It was an amazing experience. Wife and I loved the culture and learned a lot. I would have loved to put 5 stars but… there was black mold all over our shower room. The black mold was in the wood on the ceiling, walls, near the tub, etc. Which made it stink of mildew and is actually a safety hazard. It’s in serious need of replacing all the wood because you cant just scrub it out; when black mold is in wood, it’s EVERYWHERE.

Otherwise, the staff was VERY lovely and welcoming, the food was amazing, and the view and aesthetics were everything you could ask for to feel like you’re living in a traditional Japanese setting. Would definitely come back one day, hopefully they have the mold issue fixed.

The real McCoy

Seikoro Ryokan is truly unique. After 23 business trips to Japan over the last decade, I finally took a vacation trip with my wife to see what I had missed. We decided inKyoto to stay at a traditional Ryokan as opposed to the normally outstanding Japanese major hotels. We made the right decision. This was an ethereal 3 days in every way, room was awesome, the breakfasts and one Kaiseki dinner was sublime and service was over the top. This was as an authentic experience as can be had. It was absolutely worth taking my shoes off every time we walked in.

We opted to get a couples massage, which was a really great price and extremely relaxing. The futon beds were so dreamy and cozy. The Japanese style breakfast was so delicious.

For $1000 / night this needs to feel like a peaceful well appointed retreat. And our family has seen a ryokan done well. Unfortunately, our first reaction when walking in was to try to find a new place to stay. They do, however, really try to make up for it with service.
The amenities and rooms need upgrading. It’s dated, and we don’t mean in a beautiful antique way, we mean dated. There’s almost no closet space, there’s tons in the room, but they occupy it all with their stuff - and not efficiently. They could easily reappoint some for guests. The centre garden was not visible just leaves out the window. The onsen was nice but could also use an update. Sleeping wasn’t great. Either stay traditional and leave the sleeping mats on the floor or go modern and add comfortable beds. But the choice to balance the larger mats on two smaller wobbly mattresses was uncomfortable and we literally slipped off more than once. At this price point they need a laundry service. Pointing people to the coin laundry down the road would be fine for a hostel.
For service, we felt like royalty but after a couple days their obsequiousness got uncomfortable. We would have liked to sleep in later than 8 before they entered for the room for latest breakfast service option. Food was amazing but the same food 5 days in a row gets boring. They could easily turn this into a $1000/night stay but right now it’s not worth it. For one or two nights it would be fine but we don’t recommend more than that.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was a wonderful experience! All the staff were super friendly, helpful, and considerate. We were welcomed by warm green tea and later received a dessert for our farewell. A delicious breakfast was also served every morning that made our stay so special.

The room was clean and well-prepared. Their cypress hot tub was enjoyable too. It was also conveniently located just around the corner to a subway station. Staying at the Seikoro was definitely a highlight or our trip, and we would love to stay here again for our next trip to Kyoto!

A wonderful get away

Our stay was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bathing facilities were accessible and the rooms felt like a truly traditional Japanese experience. Would highly recommend the Japanese dinner and breakfast. The kimonos were also very comfy.
