Kyoto Ryokan Hirashin's best feature is its excellent location that allows walkable access to just about every magical aspects of Kyoto: Outrageously fun shopping options, unmatched food choices, outstanding ease to public transportation, awe-inspiring visitation to world-famous temples/shires/palaces/castles/landmarks, etc. Additionally, staff members were superbly attentive to guests' needs, quick to help, and made my 18-day stay an absolute joy.

A lovely gem in a very central and safe location in Kyoto. The staff knew what I wanted and even took extra steps to help me maximize my stay, like calling my room when I'd forgotten about the breakfast I'd booked. It's a quick bus or subway ride from Kyoto Station, and I will certainly come back for another stay.

This Ryokan is very well located and at walking distance to many of the highlights of Kyoto. The staff is very helpful and nice, and the traditional Japanese breakfast good. However, expect a Ryokan which needs a good amount of refresh (for example very basic bathroom, holes in our bedroom walls and screens, hallways which would benefit for new paint, only one washing machine,…).
