This is a perfect Accommodation no matter when you visit. It was Kyoto in extreme heat, but thanks to your thoughtful care in many ways, we had a wonderful time. The pike conger is a must in this season; it is an additional-order dish, but highly recommended. We are planning to visit again in autumn.

Its kaleidoscopic beauty resonates deeply in the heart. Exquisitely prepared with sincere care, the cuisine is truly delicious. A beautiful garden that reflects the seasons—so captivating you could gaze at it forever. Elegant summer décor that lets you fully experience Kyoto’s traditional culture. Hanging scrolls, ikebana, and a beautifully arranged Room down to every detail. The head chef, attendants, the young proprietress, and the proprietress herself offer warm, attentive hospitality with genuine grace. Thinking that all of this beauty is an expression of love for each guest fills me with freshness and gratitude. At Kikkawa, you can feel the refined spirit of Kyoto—an appreciation for making everyday life beautiful and joyful. It began as an Accommodation I hoped to stay at at least once in my life; before I knew it, this was my 11th visit. A superb culinary Ryokan I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who truly loves Kyoto.

Despite being located in a lively part of town, the property felt like a different world—wrapped in serene tranquility. The cool breeze drifting through the reed doors and the pleasantly textured ajiro weaving, which I experienced for the first time, deeply moved me as part of Japan’s beautiful “summer setting.” Listening to the gentle sound of the shishi-odoshi echoing through the impeccably kept garden and spending time in the dignified tea room were truly luxurious moments that soothed my soul. The food and drinks were also exceptional—everything felt wonderfully satisfying to all five senses. Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful touches throughout. It became a wonderful summer memory, and my first visit back to Kyoto in a while was made even more special.

I was deeply relaxed in this luxurious space where I could feel Kyoto in every detail. The bath also had a genuine herbal soak, letting me enjoy a truly indulgent Onsen-like experience. The amenities were well stocked, and the futon and pillows were fluffy, so I slept soundly. It was a wonderful trip that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I think this Accommodation is perfect for a stay during the Gion Festival. I also enjoyed both the Italian and Japanese cuisine. Watching a maiko dance during my stay became a wonderful memory—thank you very much. It seems that, in exchange for opening the lounge, the drinks in the refrigerator have been limited to mineral water only. However, because the lounge has short opening hours, it was not very convenient. I usually stay at Hiramatsu-level Accommodations, but this was the first time I had to buy sparkling mineral water at a convenience store during my stay. That said, it is still a great Accommodation, and I would be happy to stay again.

This was my second stay. It was a Multiple Night Stay, and I really appreciated that complimentary water was included along with the replacement towels. Many places don’t offer that these days. The building was clean and comfortable to stay in. However, the hallway felt a bit too dark.

Thank you again for your hospitality. Just three stops from Kyoto Station and also close to Karasuma Oike, it’s convenient yet quiet and comfortable. There are complimentary drinks, and alcohol is available at certain times. I’d be even happier if there were some Kyoto-style tea as well! I’ll be back again!

I was able to fully enjoy the Gion Festival. Last year I stayed at a Hotel near Kyoto Station, and getting around by subway was a hassle, so this time I chose this place near the Yamaboko-cho area. I had stayed here back when it was Mitsui Garden, so I already knew my way around and had a comfortable, stress-free stay. All of the Hotel staff were pleasant and greeted me with smiles. Just one thing: after the first night, housekeeping may have been missed—there was only a bag of towels hanging on the doorknob, and the trash bins in the Room were left as they were. Also, the loungewear and bath mat weren’t in the bag, so I went to pick them up myself. The next day, I proactively put out the trash bins and used towels into the hallway before going out. I wasn’t sure how the housekeeping system worked, but it was within what we could handle flexibly on our side, so it wasn’t an issue. For the Gion Festival, this is my only choice—I felt like it’s a Hotel I’d like to return to again next year. Thank you very much.

The travel schedule was postponed, leading to a need to rebook the hotel. By chance, we chose this place and it turned into a wonderful experience. The service was attentive, and every staff member greeted us with a smile throughout our stay. We also booked dinner here—what a surprise! The restaurant's reviews were so good that it felt like hitting the jackpot. Before dining, we were taken to the kitchen for an introduction to the day's ingredients. During meals, each group has their own private space without worrying about being disturbed by others (this applies to both breakfast and dinner). Unfortunately, due to language barriers (poor English and no Japanese), we missed out on opportunities for an even better experience. As expected with older buildings, soundproofing could be improved; activities upstairs caused some noise from above. The bathroom had only partial bamboo screens around the bath area—it felt slightly exposed as gaps allowed views of neighboring spaces... Overall though, it was an amazing experience! Next time, I’d love to try staying in a second-floor room if possible!

I had a wonderful time with my grandchild. I truly appreciated the thoughtful care of the staff.
