This if the first Ryokan I have ever stayed in so I have nothing to compare my experience to besides one of the other hotels I stayed at while visiting Japan for the first time. With that in mind, I can definitely say that the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi was my favorite stay by far. The entire experience was completely different from a normal hotel. The Japanese breakfasts each morning were an added bonus and this is coming from someone that is a little picky about what I eat (I did my best to be adventurous in Japan which is what I would also recommend to anyone visiting). The housekeeping and staff were amazingly nice and helpful. The place was very clean and besides having to get used to a different style of bed, I thought the stay was better than I could have expected. I don't know if other Ryokans are any better than the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi but I can safely say that you won't be disappointed in your stay here. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to my next trip back so I can stay here again.

An absolutely wonderful experience.
This was our first stay at a Ryokan and it was a fabulous experience for us. Everything about our stay was wonderful, beginning with a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived to a fun send-off when we departed the next day. Everyone on staff was incredibly kind and patient with us as we quickly learned the nuances of staying at a Ryokan. The dinner and breakfast were both outstanding as was the service and our room and futon beds were impeccably clean and comfortable. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this wonderful accomodation to anyone seeking a fabulous Ryokan experience.

Property described as ryokan but was not as immersive or tranquil as I was hoping for. Breakfast was traditional and ok. Dinner might have been better as it was served in-room but we unfortunately did not get that included. Room amenities were nice. Although the property was a little dated, it was clean and well maintained. Do not book if you’re not a fan of “big lights”. Iykyk. Service was superb, everyone very friendly and accommodating.

The property was amazing! It was very traditional Japanese but also fully modern! The atmosphere was amazing, very peaceful and welcoming. LOVED the authentic room with tatami mats and robes. It was very spacious and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. I loved the traditional tea provided upon arrival. The included breakfast was delicious! Loved having use of the Sento in the basement. That felt amazing after walking all over Kyoto! Perfect, central location as well. Easy access to the train station, or for walking to the city center. Ubers and taxis were very easy to find as well.

This property was incredible! An awesome place to experience a traditional Japanese inn experience. Food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff was super accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of - our stay was rainy, but they went out of their way to ensure we had umbrellas and helped us dry out our shoes after a wet day of sightseeing. Amazing hospitality and would gladly stay here again.
