สถานีชะยามะ (จังหวัดเกียวโต) × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

I stayed one night in Kyoto, a city I love, to go hydrangea viewing. I arrived before check-in, but I was able to relax in the lounge overlooking the beautiful garden with a cola and cake. Soon after, I was shown to my room, which I truly appreciated. As I don’t have much stamina, I chose this Hotel so I could rest well while still enjoying the feeling of being on a trip in Kyoto. I made a Reservation for a room with views of Kōmyō-ji Temple’s main gate and the Hotel garden from the window. Including the magic hour at dusk and dawn as well as the nighttime illumination, the scenery was even more wonderful than expected, and it was truly relaxing. It was also adorable to see snails and umbrellas drawn in the Hotel’s stone garden outside the window—so perfect for Japan’s rainy season. In my room there were Gion Tsujiri kabusecha green tea, black tea, and coffee; plus complimentary juice and beer in the refrigerator. Enjoying a slow Hotel stay while watching the beautiful view and changing sky was simply amazing. In particular, there was a chocolate-scented coffee capsule called “Chocolatino” for the espresso machine—I woke up before dawn and felt so happy having my morning coffee while watching sunrise magic hour. The beer also had stylish yuzu and fruity aromas, and drinking it in a bathrobe after bathing tasted exceptionally good. From 15:00 to 18:00, welcome drinks were available in the lounge. There were champagne and white wine—both favorites of mine—and I enjoyed them at leisure. As I’m a light eater traveling solo (and had just eaten cake), pairing drinks with some potatoes was more than enough for me; however, it also felt like you could enjoy a proper dinner there as well—meat dishes, desserts, and more—which seemed great because you can adjust freely depending on your mood. I love baths as well, so I was happy that there were stylish, high-quality bath salts and amenities provided in generous amounts. Twice—at night and again the next morning—I soaked properly in a bathtub where I could fully stretch out and relax. Breakfast overlooking the garden was wonderful too; they kindly arranged seating where I could feel comfortable on my own. After breakfast each day, between attending morning services and taking walks around the garden grounds (and more), it felt incredibly fulfilling. The gardens within this Hotel also had seasonal flowers such as hydrangeas and bellflowers (kikyo). Including nighttime illumination visits too—I took three walks total: evening, night, then morning—and being able to enjoy Kyoto’s seasonal atmosphere without even leaving made me extremely satisfied. It was an amazing trip to Kyoto!

It was a wonderful stay, and I was very satisfied, with the unique aesthetic of architect Togo Murano felt throughout. The Hotel is surrounded by lush nature, making it pleasant to enjoy a relaxing walk. At the same time, taking the subway gets you to the city center in about 15 minutes, so access is very convenient. The breakfast I had been looking forward to offered just the right variety for both Western and Japanese options, and everything was delicious. Although I don’t usually wear provided pajamas, they matched the Hotel’s refined atmosphere perfectly, so I enjoyed wearing them this time. The walk from the elevator to my room was a bit long, but being able to stroll while admiring the beautiful courtyard view through the windows made even that travel time feel like a relaxing moment.

We stayed for two nights in late August on a family trip. On the first night, I became unwell (likely heat exhaustion due to Kyoto’s climate and lack of sleep), and you kindly adjusted how dinner was served. You also prepared an ice pack and cold water, and all the staff offered warm words afterward as well—I truly caused you a lot of trouble. The next day we returned to the Accommodation early after sightseeing, but housekeeping was completed quickly and the Room was restored to a comfortable state. Our child had brought a favorite stuffed toy, and seeing it seated on the sofa warmed our hearts. I was also impressed that all staff had shared information such as my avoiding caffeine and our child’s preferences, and handled everything so naturally with thoughtful care. The timing of your check-ins and sense of distance were just right, and we experienced truly wonderful hospitality. We used the Room as a family of three (our child is in 6th grade), and it felt neither too large nor too small. Having a bath in the Room was especially nice because we could use it whenever we wanted. The water temperature was set to 41°C, which feels hot in summer, but we could adjust it by adding water. The changing area had floor heating, which helped prevent us from getting too chilled after bathing. Towels and water were replenished as well, so even if we sweated after bathing, it was great to be able to use clean towels and clothes. Also, there was a lovely fragrance the moment we entered the Room, with incense throughout the building—these scent touches made everything feel special and out of the ordinary. Every meal was truly delicious. Our child has many dislikes when it comes to seafood, but you accommodated this thoughtfully; plus, both days’ menus were different so we could enjoy variety. In particular, the charcoal-grilled style dishes along with Anto-jiru soup, takikomi gohan (seasoned rice), and Wakan 18 tea were excellent—our child loved them too. Breakfast also came with many rice accompaniments that were all delicious. The soups and dashi-based dishes especially felt very “Kyoto,” which we appreciated. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took care of us during our stay. We made wonderful memories in Kyoto thanks to you. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again as a family.

I stayed in a smoking Deluxe Single Room. The Room was thoroughly cleaned down to every detail, and I had a very comfortable stay. I accidentally left something behind, but they kindly assisted me over the phone, and this is a wonderful Hotel with a high level of satisfaction in every aspect. Whenever I visit Kyoto, I will definitely stay here again.

The bus stop is nearby, making it a great location for getting anywhere in Kyoto City. The Hotel also has parking and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The lobby was tastefully arranged, and the Room was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The staff were polite and attentive, and I would like to stay here again.

My spouse and I, an older couple, stayed for one night. It was quiet thanks to the location just off a small side street, the front desk staff were kind and helpful, and the Room was very clean. We parked our car at the coin-operated parking lot next door. We enjoyed a morning walk in the Kyoto Imperial Palace Park. It seems you can also have breakfast at a shop inside the park from 8:00 a.m. Some people may feel that the Hotel is a bit far from the station or that there isn’t a convenience store nearby, but for us—living somewhere much less convenient—it didn’t bother us at all (laughs). Everything was so great that we made another Reservation for a few months from now. That’s about it.

When I arrived early and asked at the front desk if they could store my luggage, they kindly let me into my Room since it was already ready, which I really appreciated. The bus stop is nearby and the location is convenient, and the Room was spacious and comfortable. This is a Hotel I would like to stay at again.

This was my first time staying at a guesthouse, and the Room was truly clean, spotless, and spacious—very comfortable. It was much cleaner than some mediocre Hotels. Above all, I really appreciated being able to use the bath 24 hours a day (Reservation required for 1-hour slots). I could relax and bathe both in the evening and in the morning. The bath was of course very clean as well. There are three toilets (?) and two sinks. The owner is friendly, easygoing, kind, and happy to chat. I enjoyed our conversation over breakfast. When I stayed there happened to be no other guests, but if you eat in the living room it seems like it would be easy to interact with other guests. A few things to note: there aren’t any dinner places nearby, so if you plan to go out to eat you should be prepared to take a taxi. Also, since it faces a main road, you can hear traffic noise fairly often—something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive (it didn’t bother me and I slept fine). For breakfast, I heard there’s a bakery nearby, but if you prefer Japanese-style breakfast you’ll need to prepare your own. There’s a 24-hour supermarket close by, so for a Multiple Night Stay it might be nice to cook for yourself. The kitchen has basic equipment such as a simple stove. Overall, because it’s so clean and the Room is spacious, it may actually be more comfortable than a Hotel in some ways—and very reasonably priced. Next time I’d definitely like to stay for multiple nights. Thank you very much!

If you're visiting Kyoto and prefer staying at a Ryokan instead of a Hotel, you might want to consider an even more luxurious experience at this Accommodation. Upon arrival, you'll be awed by the grand gate of Kinkakuji Temple. Walking through the wooden door and along the gravel path in the front garden feels like stepping into another world, far removed from everyday life. In addition to clean, modern Japanese-style rooms with new facilities akin to those of a high-end Ryokan, you can enjoy exclusive access to a beautiful garden surrounded by nature. Although it's called "Shukubo," it is open to everyone and allows for casual participation in comfortable attire. The resident monk and his wife are incredibly friendly as well. This Accommodation offers an affordable yet luxurious experience comparable to that of high-end Ryokans. Memorable activities include making bracelets with natural stones, enjoying Shojin Ryori (traditional Buddhist vegetarian breakfast), and participating in morning prayers—all adding up to an unforgettable stay.

We stayed at the Hotel in late November during the peak of autumn foliage with our dog. The interior was charming, featuring antique furniture, beautiful paintings on the walls, chandeliers on the ceiling, and dried flowers in the washroom and restroom. The bedroom had two king-sized beds and fluffy futons for humans, while our dog enjoyed a True Sleeper bed. The living room had underfloor heating and was impeccably clean. The café on the first floor was beautifully furnished with exquisite tableware, and a Bechstein grand piano casually placed added an elegant touch. Although we didn’t have a chance to try the café menu this time, everything looked deliciously well-prepared—we’d love to try it next time! With its convenient location within walking distance of Heian Shrine and Okazaki Park, as well as parking available for guests with dogs, it’s perfect for pet owners. Plus, their adorable mascot dog Mon-chan is delightful! This is truly a Hotel that makes you want to come back again!

I’m glad I chose the best course where I could enjoy something like a tilefish bouillabaisse. The next day, I had scorpionfish at another restaurant, so it was truly wonderful to experience the delicate flavor of tilefish that I hadn’t known before. I look forward to enjoying the kama bath even more next time!

Thank you for your hospitality. The place was clean, and the room had a table, allowing me to study until the last minute. It was quiet and comfortable. Although carrying my suitcase up to the room was a bit challenging, I plan to stay again as long as my legs are strong enough. This time, I stayed here for Kyoto University's graduate school entrance exam, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. On the exam day, there were delays due to an accident on JR lines, causing some people to be late. Being so close to Kyoto University was incredibly helpful that day. Thanks to this stay, I passed the exam! I look forward to staying here again with my family in the future. Thank you very much!

The food and service were excellent. We’ll be back again, and we look forward to seeing you then. m(__)m

The moment I stepped into the Room, I couldn’t help but say, “Wow!” It was spacious, spotless, and truly amazing. The large, beautiful living space was wonderful, and the bathroom and vanity area were also incredibly stylish. The bath even had microbubbles, and the shower fixtures were uniquely placed and very chic. Everything in the refrigerator and the snacks were free. There were also delicious Ajari Mochi in the Room—such thoughtful hospitality in every detail. And it wasn’t just stylish and clean: there were two power outlets by each side of the bed, plenty of outlets throughout, a full-length mirror that was easy to use, and pajamas that were extremely comfortable—everything was simply outstanding. The service was polite and kind, making my stay very comfortable. Breakfast delivered to the Room featured delicious dishes from Sensan. It came in a bento box, but the rice was warm and the soup was piping hot—truly delicious. I was moved by such an elegant breakfast. The view from the Room was also stunningly beautiful. I’m so happy I got to stay here. Thank you very much.

Stayed for about a week. The necessary items such as cooking utensils, microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine were provided and clean. The simple service with only the essentials felt comfortable without being excessive. It was quiet in the Room at the back. The bus stop is right in front. It was a bit of a walk to the convenience store. The nearby Imperial Palace made for pleasant walks.

The location was excellent. Since we traveled by car, having a parking lot was very helpful. There were plenty of family restaurants, restaurants, and bars nearby for dinner, so we had no trouble finding a place to eat. There was also a convenience store close by. Breakfast was served in a Japanese-style room with a buffet, and we enjoyed the variety. The food was very tasty and not bland at all. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to. The Room was spacious and felt clean despite being older. The large public bath had quite hot water, which might be a bit much for children. It was a very good Accommodation. I would like to stay here again when I visit Kyoto.

We traveled with our 1-year-old child, and the staff warmly welcomed us. Their hospitality was kind and excellent. The building is old but well-cleaned, and the public bath, though small, was very clean. The meals were delicious. We chose the most affordable dinner course, yet it was luxurious in content and satisfying in both quantity and taste. Located conveniently in Kyoto city, it's a great spot for a short walk or exploration nearby. We would love to stay here again. Thank you!

The view from the Room (overlooking the Kamo River) was wonderful. I also liked the calm atmosphere throughout the entire building. As for breakfast, the egg dishes were delicious. The Hotel staff were impressive as well, providing smooth service from check-in to check-out. I loved the overall ambiance and would like to stay at this Hotel again. Thank you very much.

Spacious room, thorough cleaning, delicious meals, and the staff maintained a good sense of distance, which I appreciated. I thought it would be nice if the room had a brighter (even with bright lighting) area. However, it was very difficult to get into the bathtub. I am 160 cm tall, which I think is average, but even so, I was afraid my feet might get caught. I only got used to it during my Multiple Night Stay. It might be impossible, but could you somehow make it easier to get in? That was the only disappointment.

The Room is spacious. The twin beds are also roomy. It’s on the Kamogawa River side and close to the station. There’s also a 24-hour supermarket nearby. Recommended.\nHowever, there are both non-smoking and smoking rooms on the same floor, so the cigarette smell is strong when you get off the elevator. It can drift into the Room a bit as well, so it may be tough for guests who dislike smoke.
