The staff was simply amazing! They were so kind and helpful. Sleeping on the traditional tatami floors was a cool experience. Trying the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner was also an experience that everyone should try. The Onsen was great, it was on the 6th floor and you have a great view of Kyoto at night. We definitely recommend staying at this wonderful Ryokan.

We wanted a ryokan experience and we definitely got it. We booked for dinner and breakfast, ate like kings everyday! Staff are so warm and friendly, they also have very little staff so over the course of our 2 night stay, we saw literally the same people and it gave a very comforting feeling. They do have a communal bath, not an onsen, so it's not one with an onsen if that's what you are looking for. The room are comfortable, we did book a smaller one , enough for 2 people but did struggle to lay open 2 large suitcase in the room, resulting in one around the corridor near the sink. It is also an older establishment, everything was clean but can tell it's a bit dated. The location is not too bad, I suspect all over Kyoto this would be the case, especially if you want a Ryokan but it was a bigger distance to traverse to the nearest train station. We did rely on bus more which the nearest station then was a 5 mins walk. Overall, very happy with my stay and the hospitality we received.

A must-stay ryokan in Kyoto

We absolutely loved this Ryokan. It's located on a quiet street, not far from the JR train station. It's a great blend of traditional and modern. The room has tatami mats plus a separate alcove with table, chair, refrigerator - everything you'd expect from a modern hotel.

It was an experience I enjoyed, but I can't say I got the best sleep on the tatamis. The floor layout was inconvenient, how from the toilet you had to walk across the whole room to then wash your hands. The room was extremely tidy and i loved the seating overlooking the window. The public bathhouse, in the hotel, was amazing and while I'm not eager to sleep on the floor again, I'm forever going to be on the lookout for sentos and onsens.

Great place to unwind

Fantastic ryokan with friendly and attentive staff. The rooms are nice and have new bathrooms from 2022. Their breakfast and dinner options were as good as any traditional Japanese restaurant I tried in Kyoto. The public bath had a scenic view from the 6th floor.

We loved our stay at Ryokufuso! The bus took us straight from Kyoto Station to the front of the building, and the other bus stops that take you to the tourist hotspots were a <10 minute walk away. Despite being a small ryokan, our room was very spacious and the staff were super sweet and friendly. When we arrived one of them (I wish I remembered his name!) gave us a quick tour of our suite and how to use the amenities. They also have an onsen to enjoy even if you have tattoos or piercings, which we really appreciated. The next time I’m in Kyoto I’m for sure staying here!

Staff was over the top friendly and helpful. They allowed us to store our bags before and after check in/check out so that we could go explore Kyoto without having to haul our stuff around. They were also very helpful to help us acquire a taxi big enough for 6 and provide local restaurant recommendations. We were on the road side and so the rooms had quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that everything was great.
