The Ryokan was nice but knocking off a star since you could not add food to your stay if you did not request prior to your visit when booking. Noticed in Japan a lot of food places do not open until 10 am and will close around 3 pm before reopening for dinner so not having the option to add breakfast to our stay was a problem. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I like that the Ryokan was close enough to walk to a lot of shrines and temples. Would I stay at this Ryokan again probably not since it was not super close to train transportation.

This ryokan has to be the most authentic, comfortable, and friendliest stay in Kyoto. The morning kaiseki breakfast was delectable. All staff I interacted with were extremely kind and made every effort to help with any language barriers. The room was spacious, tatami-covered, and had a comfortable futon with all the thoughtful amenities you’d expect in a modern hotel. Will certainly be back when I visit Kyoto again!

Wonderful Ryokan. A new and unique breakfast each day was a special touch on top of the Kaiseki dinner (all of which were very Japanese flavours- we loved, but may not be for those who prefer western flavours). The only thing would be that it would be nice to make the booking all in one rather than having to book the kaiseki night separately. Would very happily return.

Our family had a great experience staying at Ryokan Kinoe. It has all the traditional Japanese accommodations. Large rooms, tatami floors, Japanese kimono/ robes, experience public bath if you want but each room has it’s own bath, shower & separate toilet. Very quiet area but walking distance to Gion/ downtown area of Kyoto, temples & shrines. The traditional Japanese meal/ dinner is also a must experience! Excellent place to stay & the staff is very friendly & helpful. Highly recommended!
