My father and I stayed at Ishibekoji Muan on his first visit to Kyoto, and Shin went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. Whether it was dinner reservations, taxi bookings or hunting down sake glasses that I admired, she made it all happen effortlessly for us. The property itself is immaculate and elegant, and comfortable to boot. A slice of hospitality heaven in historic Kyoto!

Gorgeous suite with high end fixtures and fittings. Quiet location off the tourist path. Expensive but feels very exclusive.

Great traditional Japanese room, very nice staff will stay again.

We had an incredible experience at this beautiful ryokan: private, serene & calm: the kind of Kyoto experience we were hoping for. The futons/pillows/linens were very comfortable, & the bathroom was beautiful. The room was filled with thoughtful amenities: green tea, Nespresso pods, rice crackers, soaking salts for the bath, etc. The staff took such good care of us & made us feel so cared for. They helped us with dinner reservations, made wonderful recommendations for meals & bars, & accepted our luggage for an early arrival - all of which helped to make our stay stress-free. We had the traditional Japanese breakfast, which was delicious. We recommend this hotel without reserve & can't wait to come back.

Cannot say enough great things! Charming area and the staff were so friendly.
