- Ryokan Motonago
A Ryokan located on the "Nene no Michi" of Kodaiji, Gion, exuding the charm of Kyoto.
The Origin of Kyoto "Ryokan Motonago"・・・ The name "Motonago" is derived from a word in the Manyoshu, meaning "ancient capital." It is said to have been the name of a social gathering place where noble people once assembled and relaxed. There are various theories, such as the old word "motona," meaning "randomly" or "without purpose," or the idea that the dreams and romantic history of ancient people soothe the hearts of visitors. The name "Ryokan Motonago," displayed as the title of this Kyoto Ryokan, carries such profound meanings. We warmly invite you to visit Ryokan Motonago.

Seasonal Kyoto cuisine for hospitality. The refined combination of dishes and tableware creates an elegance akin to a Kyoto taste scroll. Enjoy the flavors of Kyoto with seasonal dishes, all prepared with top-notch knife skills and exquisite menus.
