The family has been running this ryokan for three generations and they truly make the stay of each guest exceptional. The hosts go above and beyond in fulfilling every little request you might have, and are just about the kindest people I have met in Japan. The breakfast was absolutely amazing and each morning some unique new dishes were served. After a long day of hiking and sightseeing around Kyoto, you can use the hot bath, which is a fantastic way to relax. Finally - even the location could not be better - it’s less than 10 minutes from the Kyoto station on foot. Thank you so much for making my stay special - I have never experienced such levels of hospitality anywhere else my whole life.

The ryokan is just beautiful. The whole place is nicely, traditionally decorated and absolutely spotless. It was really nice to have everything you need in the bedroom at all times to make yourself a nice cup of Japanese tea. We loved the Japanese garden view from the bedroom window. The owners are super nice, really welcoming and the most pleasant and lovely hosts you can possibly hope for. We had breakfast twice during our stay: it was a great experience and the food that was prepared and served was just delicious.
Nothing.

It was a fantastic stay that I would never forget about my visit in Japan. I also made reservation for the family bath. It was also wonderful. It's a pity that I was to stay at this place for only one night, experiencing this authentic facility and also traditional Japanese breakfast. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends visiting Japan. Hosts are wonderful people, very kind, and they explain everything in detail. They have been running this Ryokan for 3 generations. Long history, you realize when you step in. They even waved me goodbye until I disappeared in the horizon. Lovely people.

Arriving at Ryokan Yadoya Kikokuso felt like coming home—to a home where the hosts are like doting parents! They made sure we knew exactly when to come and go, setting a curfew from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., which kept the place wonderfully quiet. There's also a bathroom schedule, which meant we had a reserved slot at 9:00 p.m.—perfect timing for a hot Japanese bath, after which we could drift off like rosy-cheeked kids, ready to tackle Kyoto again the next day. The location is close to major transport hubs, so getting around is a breeze. Just make sure to listen to your "parents," and you’ll be set for an authentic, cozy Kyoto experience.

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had in a while. We really enjoyed our stay at Kikokuso. The Ryokan was beautiful with a cute garden with Kois. The room was confortable and cosy. It was our first time sleeping on futons but we slept really well. The breakfasts (traditional Japanese breakfasts) were amazing. We also had shabu shabu diner on the second night and it was de-li-cious! The family hot bath was just perfect after a long day of walk in Kyoto. Finally, the family that runs the inn was just the nicest people you could ever meet. We will definitely come back the next time we come to Kyoto!!
Nothing.

The ryokan is owned and run by a lovely couple. The breakfast was delicious and the hospitality was exceptional. I booked this place because I wanted to experience sleeping on a traditional Japanese bedding on tatami. The house itself has been passed down for generations and is absolutely beautiful.
A few things to note. I knew ahead of time and I did not mind these things. However, you might. 1. Since this is a house, you will be occupying a room and be 1 out of 3 guests staying there per night. This means there is no restroom in your room. You share one with the other guests in the house. This means walking out of your room and going to the shared house toilet. It wasn't an issue for us, and I never ran into anyone in the restroom. 2. Since there is no restroom in the room, naturally there is no shower. Each guest will need to book a time to use the shower room that has a small onsen bath. The host will explain everything during check in, but if you aren't comfortable with these things, you should find another place.

For me personally futon was comfortable and it was a beautiful traditional house exactly like on the photos. There is also a personal family bath that you can enjoy. Maybe 2 stations to Kyoto station so close to that but slightly farther to other famous spots. Kind owner and cook, his wife did all the intro and they called me a cab in the end.
Strict rules. I didnt like that whenever I went to bath or breakfast, someone entered the room (but as I was told by my Japanese friend, this is normal for Ryokan) it would be nice if they mentioned that in the intro though. Also slightly overpriced breakfast.

The couple who run the Ryokan are amazing and give a 5* hospitality. It's a gorgeous place really close to some nice spots.
I usually shower at night and in the morning especially when it's so warm but I could only book the ofuro (which is the same as the shower room) once during my stay so I had an evening slot so that I could get up early to explore the next day. Felt a bit grubby by the end of the day not having showered in the morning! But I'd still return knowing this because the overall experience was so good.

Breakfast was probably the best meal we had in Japan - if it’s second to anything it’s the Shabu Shabu dinner we had also at the property! The couple that runs the inn are so sweet and accommodating and it’s in a perfect location for exploring Kyoto as it’s so close to Kyoto Station!
Honestly nothing. I’d say as a westerner it’s an adjustment to not have immediate access to a private bathroom and shower, but the shared traditional Japanese bath / hot tub they schedule for you and your family is a really incredible experience and if you are looking for the traditional Japanese inn experience look no further.

The delightful couple that run this old family business are exceptionally kind and hospitable. The husband is chef and prepares the most wonderful, authentically Japanese meals which were a highlight of our stay. I loved our 2 tatami mat rooms with the futons, low table and paper screens at the windows, which made for a very traditional experience for overawed Europeans. There is a beautiful ornamental fish pond and garden too! We a are retired couple & had the one room with private facilities, travelling in March 2024.
I was happy with everything but my OH found the futons too hard for his ageing bones and hardly slept. Japanese beds & mattresses are harder than westerners are used to and that’s OK, it’s all part of the experience and must be accepted. It’s just that this is difficult when suffering a crochetty, tired husband!
