"When Woodruff sees our hotel for the night, she is pleased; Shiki Juraku is an homage to classic architecture, with a contemporary, sculptural gate and a quiet walkway between guest rooms in dark-timbered town houses. We enjoyed long baths in the tub, looking out at the Australian ferns in the garden." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Another time, I was staying in Kyoto at Shiki Juraku, and had made sure to get to know all of the staff by name during my stay. Just after I checked out, an intense storm hit. Flights were delayed, trains were canceled. The whole country came to a halt. It was chaos. Our plans were changed and we found ourselves needing a room that night. They let us shift our stay for no extra charge."

"This is hands down the best boutique hotel in Kyoto. Each room is actually a miniature wooden house."

Amazing place. The staff is super nice and can speak English. The room was clean and quite spacious. The wood tub with a view onto a mini garden was my favorite. They provide a light breakfast, snacks and alcohol (all included). The hotel is also within walking distance of the Kyoto Imperial Palace

Loved staying at Rinn Shiki Juraku in Kyoto. The neighbourhood was calm and peaceful but only a short ride into the main downtown area. The lounge with all day snacks and drinks was great. Perfect for when you’ve had a busy day but just want a quiet beer or wine before bedtime. The ‘houses’ were simply furnished but spotlessly clean and included so many toiletries and little extras. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was nothing we didn’t like.

Beautiful hotel in a quiet neighborhood with easy walking/public transport to popular areas. We loved the hospitality and serenity. Would absolutely stay here again.

A lovely place to stay, away from the more crowded areas in Gion or central Kyōto. This was not an issue for us, since we ended up taking taxis to the Kyōto station for day trips. The hotel team is extremely helpful, in making suggestions, reservations and even helping out beyond that with tips in other areas in Japan. We stayed there for 5 nights, felt very comfortable. The rooms, due to bedroom being upstairs, feel spacious and have a beautiful style. We felt extremely welcome and look forward to coming again.

Had the most wonderful two weeks staying here, it's so peaceful, within walking distance of supermarkets as well as Nishiki Market. The staff are amazing and very welcoming, and the hotel is truly a gem. I was rather sad to leave, but hopefully, I can return one day.

What a pleasant surprise to find such a lovely hotel in Kyoto that's close to public transportation but in a quiet alley! There are only 10 units renovated from traditional homes that were 100 years old. Our unit is two stories with sleeping quarters and shower, bath tub, vanity upstairs. The toilet is downstairs and the living room has a lovely patio view of plants . The place is very clean with hardwood floors. The spacious sleeping quarter has tatami and sliding doors. The hotel provides a breakfast every morning. It's really amazing! It's very refreshing, good ingredients and they have the most delicious bread and jam made out of seasonal fruit! The staff are very courteous and helpful. I enjoyed my stay very much!

This quiet and very small hotel captures what is special about Kyoto. Each space is unique and beautiful. Well-designed and considered blend of history and modernity. Attentive and warm staff. Tasteful city recommendations. An aesthetic experience overall. Location is best for taxis vs relying on subway and buses.

I don't often write reviews, but wanted to share about what a relaxing, warm, and all-around wonderful visit we enjoyed at Shiki Juraku. While the property and cool-factor of the hotel alone merit a 5-star review, it's really everyone who works here who makes this place so special and memorable. We felt very at home coming and going each day between activities and meals. I love the neighborhood that seems to have a good mix of activity, but also some space away from the crowds, near the palace. It's just such a calming and beautiful place to be. Special thank you to Tatsuo and Saki for making us feel so welcome. We can't wait to return.
