Staff were very friendly and helpful. Fun to stay at a ryokan. WiFi kept disconnecting but if that’s my only complaint we were living well.

You must get the meal plan with your stay to get the true experience. Having the staff prepare your meal in front of you in your room and then preparing your room for sleeping is truly special. You feel nurtured. There is a very small but adequate onsen on the property as well. We stayed only one night and also walked around this “old Kyoto” neighborhood with its cobblestone streets. Staff was courteous and professional. We then moved on to another hotel a block away from Nishiki Market in “newer” part of Kyoto where there’s traditional stores and restaurants mixed it with modern ones.

Located in the renown Gion district, Kinoe Ryokan is a combination of modernity and tradition. Room was specious for a family of four and facilities were clean. If we were to return to Kyoto, we might choose a ryokan that is slightly closer to the main road Shijo Street.
