Koraku-an is a beautiful Ryokan. We wanted to experience staying in a traditional Japanese home and this place was perfect. Rika was so nice and she even went out of her way to wait for our Uber to help direct it to Koraku-an on our last day. Over all, our experience with Koraku-an was wonderful and excellent.

I don’t feel safe when staying with kids at This property. The property seems to be very fragile. You can hear all the noise around the street. Even when the next door people slide their door. Cannot sleep properly. Mosquito bite can be an issue for our family as there is still marks on my kids face and body. The owner lives very close to the house. Very helpful and nice lady. The house might be suitable for adults alone but not family with kids.

We had been staying in this beautiful house for 7 days during our visit to Kyoto. It is such a great experience for us to understand the traditional living style and culture of Kyoto. Korakuan is well maintained and we feel very comfortable with the facilities provided. A map of the nearby area, train/JR stations and a list of restaurant are well prepared by the owner. We tried the public bath and some restaurants recommended which are good. Best of all , Ms Rika , the owner is very nice and helpful. She attended to all our request immediately and was a great help to us during our stay. Thank you Rika. Will definitely stay again and it is highly recommended.

This was a great experience for family! Great for groups and larger than most hotels! The beds were large and soft and the rooms are clean. There is a kitchen for cooking as well! Anyone coming to Kyoto wanting to experience tatami should live at Koraku-an. Rika was a great host and even showed us out on check out.

We loved the experience we had at Korakuan! The home is beautiful, very well-kept and immaculate. The area of Nijo is quaint and there is easy access to the metro. The service was wonderful and we were provided detailed information about the surrounding area, etc. When we had difficulty arriving to Kyoto due to rain and train delays, they were more than accommodating. They also went out of their way to make sure we made it safely and had everything we needed when we are arrived. We would highly recommend staying here for a traditional, hometown experience.

We loved this place! The house is about 100 years old, with wooden floors, low furniture, beautiful soji screens and a tiny garden. It is centrally located in a small, intimate neighborhood and within walking distance to the main train station and subway lines, as well as several grocery stores and restaurants. The kitchen is old, but completely functional. Shower is in an add-on, covered area and there is a washing machine right there on site. Beds are located upstairs. It was pretty cold when we were there, but the electric heaters kept the entire house warm and cozy. The owner and our most gracious host made sure that our every need was met. She also informed us of a special, lantern/light festival that was going on at the Kyoto shrines and temples at that time. We were so glad that we went and probably would not have known about it, if it were not for her. Staying at Korakuan was a nice get-away from the, "hotel life," for a few days and a chance to live like the locals do. We'll definitely stay there again, the next time we are in Kyoto.
