This is our first time staying at ryokan style hotel and we love this hotel. It is not the best looking interior (lobby and hallways) but the accommodation and experience will make your stay great. They even have a small sento at the basement for the guests. They offer breakfast but we didn’t have it because we usually leave before the breakfast was served. Other things we like is it is very close to public transportation, both bus and trains. Restaurants and convenient stores are just few steps away from the hotel. Few minutes walk to Nishiki Market and Kyoto Pontocho. Gion is a bit far if you walk but there is a bus that passes the hotel going there. The staffs are very friendly and courteous. If we are going back to Kyoto, we are definitely going to book this hotel again.

Perfect locations with a lot of shopping and dining options around. It’s right next to the river and metro. We can see river from the room so it was a nice bonus. Staff was super polite and friendly. The dinners were excellent and plentiful. There’s a drink place with good appetizer type of food 2 doors diwn that was very good, reasonable and convenient. Domo Arigato!

Traditional stay hotel, room was pretty big for Japan, but think I'm to old for Traditional stay, found beds very hard on the floor & getting up & down from the dinning table was a bit of effort.😊 Breakfast was very interesting, probably not for most kids, but we enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly, hotel was close to food, drinks, shopping & sightseeing, also close to metro. Definitely a once in a life time experience...

Awesome food experience
I stayed a night to trip a more traditional Japanese experience, this was very good. The staff were very friendly and very polite. I had the full dinner and breakfast which was by far the best part of my stay. It was great to dress in traditional style clothes for the meals. The futon bed however wasn’t something I would try again just not enough for sleeping on for a full night. Overall very much enjoyed my stay here if you stay definitely opt for the full meal options.

A delight!
This place was lovely. The location is great, the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. The beds are just straight up futons, so this should go without saying, but they were very firm — just something to be aware of if you need more comfort while traveling.

The Kamogawa-Kan Inn was the best hotel we stay in during our trip to Japan. The location is very convenient in relation to mass transit, restaurants and the tourist sites. What makes this place stand out is all the extra touches to make this a traditional Japanese style inn. The room had a tatami floor. There is a public onsen downstairs. But the best part was the food. We had breakfast every morning at the on-site restaurant. These were amongst the best meals we had on our trip. Each day different and meals that we were happy to savor and enjoy. If you want to feel like you are in a more traditional environment rather than just another western style hotel - especially in Kyoto - we highly recommend the Kamogawa-Kan Inn.

Traditional Ryokan with friendly service
A perfectly fine Ryokan. Great location. Being a westerner it was my attempt to experience traditional Japanese hospitality. The service was extremely friendly. The room was clean. The washing facilities were very small but that may be a tradition? Didn’t sleep very well on the traditional mattress but pretty sure that isn’t specific to this Ryokan. The breakfast was amazing! A worthwhile experience but give me a proper bed any day!
