We had a very pleasant short stay. Don’t be intimidated by the central city location, once you step inside, you’re completely immersed in a traditional ryokan atmosphere. The space is beautifully traditional yet thoughtfully equipped with modern essentials. The lady host was especially lovely and kind, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. A calm and authentic experience at a very convinient location.

What an amazing Ryokan experience! If you’re looking for authentic, tasteful and elegant Ryokan with first class service then look no further. Walking distance or a short bus ride to all major attractions. Cannot recommend enough and will certainly be back if we visit Kyoto again. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Village kiramachi is strategically located. It is a beautifully preserved ryokan with modern amenities. My family specifically love the ambience and the warm hospitality which really made us feel welcomed. The Terrace villa, which we stayed in had a outdoor bath and shower facilities which was really cool. The experience and service is simply awesome. I think what can make it even better is to have a few more lights in the rooms for those that need brighter lighting. Thanks Village Kiramachi, for such a memorable stay! Do update your photos on expedia (with better lighting) to show how beautiful your rooms are!

me and my wife stayed there for 2 nights. It was our first days in japan and the service they gave us was outstanding. Genuine good people was the vibe.

We loved our stay here! It had such a beautiful, peaceful, Japanese vibe. The bed was super comfortable, and instead of traditional hotel robes there were lovely kimono-style robes to wear, and a tatami mat living room with low table and pillows. We wanted a traditional ryokan experience, and this was it!

got upgraded to an amazing room with outdoor tub! unforgettable ryokan

Very beautiful room. Feels like a room that you can only get in Japan and not anywhere else in the world. Within walking distance to Nishiki market.

Fantastic service. They really bent over backwards to accommodate us and was our favorite stay while in Japan.

The room was so beautiful and clean. We stayed in one with open air bath. Great hosts, left our luggage early and when we got back, our room was ready and they put our luggage in our rooms. Bus stop just right in front of my gate. Accessible and easy walk to many restaurants and sites.

Absolutely magical retreat in the middle of the city. Staff was kind and patient with check-in, explaining the features of our room, and letting us leave our luggage after check-out for a few hours. Grounds are tranquil and gorgeous, and the room was serene and well designed. Outdoor shower and soaking tub were A !

To put it simply my stay at Village Kiramachi completely blew away my expectations. The room/property is beautiful and well maintained , the staff is all very friendly and can speak both Japanese and English ,the property is located very nicely in relation to major shopping areas and the local train station. Another interesting this was that this property also offers a tasty breakfast for 2200Yen and a chance to experience a Japanese Tea ceremony for FREE! One thing I really liked was that one the first day the staff went out of their way to make sure that I knew how to get around Kyoto and showed me where the best places to tour/eat were. Lastly all the staff I interacted with all spoke both Japanese and English well (especially Naru). As someone currently learning the language, this made things easier for me when I got stuck in Japanese and I really appreciated this.

Great, friendly staff, excellent location and an amazing place to stay

Very beautiful and relaxing. The location is fantastic. Very clean and comfortable. The staff are very kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Very nice ryokan, spacious room. Central and with good connections. Would definitely recommend.

loved this place, easily my favourite of the places we stayed on our Honeymoon. Had a ton of space with a lovely outdoor bath and shower. The staff there were lovely too, very helpful and nice. Highly recommend!!

The cobblestone street was very unique, located in the middle of a busy City block. It was close to both subway station and public bus stop.

Our stay at Village Kiramachi was outstanding. From the beautiful accommodations to the incredible service, we were wowed from beginning to end. The bento box breakfasts for purchase are also delicious and I would recommend doing them at least once for the experience as well as convenience of having a wonderful meal in your own accommodations. Five stars!

Amazing traditional ryokan in Kyoto! We stayed in the room with the balcony and loved relaxing out there before OR after a day of shopping and walking around. The Main Street is walkable to shopping and Gion and you turn off to this lovely quiet traditional street to this ryokan. There are also ramen and other popular eats in the neighborhood. Aside from our room being clean and spacious, the service was top notch. The staff is pretty fluent in English and answered all our questions quickly (even through the hotels booking site). She also provided excellent dinner recommendations (even helped us book them)! At the end of our stay, we also got a ride to Kyoto station. We highly recommend this place to stay!

Excellent. Staff, Location, Room... exceptional. If your looking for a stay that you will remember, this is as far as you need to look. Highly recommend

Very nice traditional ryokan. The room was very nicely kept and the staff was amazingly helpful.
