Terada Station (Kyoto) × Accommodation Convenient For Visits To A Famous ShrineHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I was able to stay at a great price by making a last-minute Reservation the day before. It’s conveniently located near the station and faces the shopping street. The room was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I stayed on Sunday, many restaurants were closed, which was a bit disappointing. Byodoin Temple is within walking distance. If I have the chance, I would like to stay at this Hotel again.

Even though I arrived much later than the check-in time, the staff kindly accommodated me. I also enjoyed the wide variety of baths! Just one thing: many guests were barefoot inside the building, which I understand since it’s an Onsen, but if possible, it would be nice to have Japanese-style indoor footwear available (the disposable slippers in the Room were a bit small and hard to walk in), so those who want to wear them would have that option. Sorry for such a luxury request. I’m grateful to the kind front desk staff and to everyone on the team.

My friend loves architecture, so we stayed here. The Room and garden were beautiful, and it was a wonderful space to relax while enjoying the view. At check-in, they kindly explained the building in detail, which made it a great experience. Rather than a Ryokan, it truly feels like staying in an “old house” just as it is. For two people, the large hall felt a bit too spacious and slightly unsettling, so I think this house would be even more enjoyable with a larger group. Thank you for this valuable experience!

We stayed as a family of five, including three children! The Room has a toilet, shower room, and electric kettle. We stayed in a second-floor Room, and right after going down the stairs there was a shared kitchen with a microwave, toaster, rice cooker, and more. There was also a dispenser where we could easily get water, tea, and coffee. There is a supermarket about a 10-minute walk away. Wi-Fi is available too! If I had to ask for one thing, it would have been nice to have a TV.

I was a little worried because there were no Reviews, but the VR experience convinced me to make a Reservation. The secretary explained the exhibits and more, so it was fun in a way that’s more than just looking around. My husband absolutely loved the VR, and thank you for letting him try it twice. Even after we got home, he kept saying, “It was amazing. I want to go again” (lol). The meal was also very delicious, and everything we were served—like roasted green tea and matcha—was wonderful! The attention to detail is incredible in the best way. I had great conversations with the secretary and the female staff, and we were able to spend a truly lovely time. I’d love to stay again when we visit Kyoto next time.

We stayed as a family of three. Since it was just us, we could relax without worrying about others, and the bath was so spacious that even stretching out my legs left plenty of room—it really helped us unwind. Even with our luggage spread out, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Having a washer-dryer was also very helpful.

The phone service was excellent, so I looked forward to my stay. The front desk service was also good, and the room was very clean and comfortable. I went to the Genji no Yu bath.

The Room is beautifully decorated with art pieces throughout, showcasing great attention to detail. The bathroom was larger than it appeared in the photos, making it very relaxing. Additionally, the garden space was truly delightful.

Both the Hotel and the Room were clean and well maintained. Although my stay was No Meals Included, it was very comfortable.

The Room was clean and conveniently located near the station, making it easy to get around.

We stayed as a family of four, and the location was great—less than a 10-minute walk from Byodo-in Temple, with views of the gently flowing river. The owner was friendly and pleasant. The bath is shared, but since there are only two groups, it didn’t seem to be an issue. Along the nearby approach road there are tea shops lined up, and there are a reasonable number of places to eat dinner in the area. Above all, the price is very affordable. There is no parking at the Accommodation, but there is a coin-operated parking lot right next door. Since it has a maximum daily rate, even if you park in the evening and leave it until the next morning while visiting Byodo-in Temple, it won’t reach 2,000 yen.

I chose this Accommodation mainly to have a place to sleep, since I was out most of the time and not sightseeing. So I wanted somewhere that would mostly leave me alone, and it was exactly as expected. Also, the Room was clean. I planned it as a simple two-night, three-day stay with No Meals Included at a guesthouse, but the service, bathroom, and massage chair were all great. The location was also convenient—the parking lot is right in front, and the bus stop, convenience store, and supermarket are all within a 1–3 minute walk.
