Hokkaikan Ohanabo was an amazing stay if you are looking for a nice ryokan that has good traditional decor and that is fairly close to the main areas of Kyoto. My group arrived a little earlier than our check in time, but they kindly allowed us to store our luggage there so we could enjoy the area before returning to official check in. We were also looking for nice breakfast places and cafes to check out while we waited and they recommended us some places that turned out to be some of the highlights of our trip. Everyone was so kind here. I would definitely return here and would definitely recommend this ryokan to anybody wanting a nice place to stay.

We had a wonderful experience here. When looking I was worried that it would be in a more industrial setting, but the road ended up being surprisingly quiet and the Hongan-Ji temple across the street was beautiful outside and inside. We paid for the temple view room and that was impressive to look at. The staff were over the top kind and helpful and seemed very proud of their work. The food was also over the top. Dinner was extravagant a few items were the best I've had of that category (seared cod, lightly tea flavored mochi, etc). They have good beverages including local sake and an extraordinary plum (ume) wine they make themselves that was thick and flavorful. I was devastated that I couldn't take a bottle home. I could barely touch breakfast which was less massive but still extensive. Don't expect anything sweet or western in the morning. But that's not why you'd come here. The baths were small but very nice and a good temperature and the bath showers were well set up. I'll note the beds were hard, as seems typical of the area. Less of a complaint than information for those who need soft mattresses. Definitely worth returning for.

Our experience at Hokkaikan Ohanabo was possibly the best experience of our trip. Not only were the staff the friendliest people, we felt taken care of at each moment. Our room was clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable. Meanwhile, our dinners and breakfasts were endless treasure boxes filled with so many delicious dishes and treats. Lastly, the baths were so soothing, especially after long days of walking. We definitely recommend Ohanabo to any friend or family and would implore you to make a booking if possible. Looking forward to staying the next time we're in Kyoto.

My partner and I both loved our stay at Hokkaikan Ohanabo, a ryokan in Kyoto. The staff were warm and welcoming and our accommodations were comfortable and provided a relaxing escape when we needed it. There are baths on premises, which was a unique experience. We highly recommend including breakfast in your reservation -- the daily breakfasts of traditional Japanese cuisine were our favorite part of the experience at Hokkaikan Ohanabo. The hotel is located across the street from the grand Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and is a short walk from Kyoto station.
