Seikoro

Seikoro is conveniently located near transit, restaurants, cafes and shopping. Tucked away on a quiet street, this ryokan looks and feels well established with a long history. We were warmly welcomed and our room was well appointed with good toiletries, thick towels, ice water, hot water for tea, flat screen tv good wifi and it had a beautiful view of the garden. Dinner was kaiseki style served in our room at just the right pace by cheerful staff. Our futons were comfortable and made me feel like having an extra half hour of warm, comfy sleep. We opted for Japanese traditional breakfast which was great, although western style breakfast is available too. There is a nice public bath with towels and toiletries which we enjoyed several times. A nice hot soak after a day of sightseeing is perfect. This ryokan is a great experience to complement a stay in Kyoto while visiting museums, temples and shrines to get the complete Kyoto feel.

We just finished our stay at Seikoro Ryokan. It was hands down the best experience of our visit to Japan and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Kyoto. The hospitality, care, and overall execution was perfect. Our hosts and attendant were kind, professional, and saw to every detail with perfection. We loved our room. We loved our Japanese breakfast. We loved the people who became part of our lives during our stay. I cannot wait to return to Kyoto to see our friends at Seikoro Ryokan.

Wow that was incredible!! The room was amazing ( clean, big and pretty ) they have traditional mattresses but they also have beds. The bathrooms are traditional Japanese bahtroom ( shower, toilets) the staff there is lovely and so kind( when you leave for the day they continue to wave at you until you cannot see you anymore) the food there is so good ( for dinner you get traditional Japanese food which is so good and for breakfast you can choose between western style or Japanese style and of r the last day we got a traditional hot pot ) you normally eat in your room but we got a special room to eat because we where 5. The y really take care of food allergies and every thing there is really clean. They have communal bath if you want r to try and I remember that they where not that much people in the womans one. Overall it was perfect in very way!!

What an unbelievable experience. The service was the best I’ve had in the WORLD. The people are so kind, they wait on you hand and foot. The building is a traditional almost 200 year old building and experience is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Walkability was really good too. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness. We will be back one day!! -From USA

It is quite pricey but service is great 👍 Lived in Japan for two years long time ago so was rusty on the Japanese as I'm in the UK now so might have had some mis-understanding. But our understanding of Japanese is fine 👀🫣😬 if spoken slowly. Was in travel mode so we didn't explain ish. We stayed in room 16 and had dinner and breakfast there. Would recommend 👍 our room attendant is very good 👍😊! Very friendly place 🌟

This was an amazing experience. The the staff were very friendly and very funny too. The room was amazing and the layout of the building was very good. The room was laid out very nicely and it was very traditional. The breakfast was also amazing. There was no noise at all and we got amazing sleep. The cleanliness was brilliant overall a very good hotel.

a historic traditional Japanese inn in Kyoto, founded in 1831. It offers tatami rooms, futon bedding, seasonal kaiseki meals, and large wooden baths. Located near Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, it’s famous for warm hospitality and an authentic Kyoto atmosphere

We stayed in central Tokyo at a 5 star modern hotel for 2 weeks. We then traveled to Kyoto where we arrived late into the night January 2024. We were created by the buy the whole team and the owners who were patiently waiting for us for over 2 hours. We were welcomed and fed and taken well care of. It was very much a beautiful place with a beautiful garden very antique and very much deserving of its title. Tommy was our hospitality host. She taught us in all the traditions as the hotel practiced tradition. She was very keen on our culture, as well as sharing of her Japanese culture. We laughed plenty of times and had fun with everybody there. We would like to return again in the near future sometime this year. If you're looking for something very nostalgic and antique and of true experience this is where you would want to go. They were also able to make reservations for us at our request. Much love Daniel and Rebekah.
