ยาโดยะ คิโคคุโซ

Amazing traditional experience, 5/5

Wonderful place to stay! The owners couldn’t be nicer and between the proximity to the station and the balance between traditional & modern, this was a perfect place to call home on our trip

Authentic Japanese accommodations with helpful owners that made it so pleasant. Best stay on our entire trip.

Perfect place for local, at home feel in a bustling city. We were looking for some serenity and tradition… exactly what we got.

Aivan loistava paikka yöpyä! Majoitus oli kaunis ja siisti, ihana yllätys että sai myös varata kylvyn omaan käyttöön. henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja todella avuliasta. olisimme viihtyneet pidempäänkin.

Very friendly hosts

혼자 여행이었는데 너무 편안하게 2박 3일을 지냈습니다. 일본의 전통적인 분위기에서 훌륭한 아침식사와 다다미방에서 지낼 수 있었습니다. 하루에 한번 목욕시간이 정해져 있는 점은 불편했지만 그만큼 가정집에 방문한 것 같은 생각이 들었습니다. 체크아웃하고 가려는데 주인 부부가 문 밖에 서서 골목을 돌아나갈 때까지 계속 인사해주셔서 너무 고마웠습니다. 교토에 대한 좋은 추억을 간직하고 돌아갑니다.

The owners were some of the most friendly, welcoming people I have met. Their English was great and I was able to understand them completely! The property is beautiful and a perfect option if you’re looking for a traditional stay. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Kyoto.

Very good experience. Hosts are lovely, friendly and very very helpful. Will come back again.

If we could, we would've give the place 10 out of 5 stars!!! We planned to experience authentic Japanese hospitality and we received that and so much more! The owners are the most amazing people who made us feel at home (they'd say "welcome home" every time we came back from exploring Kyoto). The house is the most beautiful place we ever stayed at, and even though there were other guests staying, we felt we were the only ones with the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. Every time we left the room, when we came back it was tidied up and fresh green tea was waiting for us on the table. Yes, there are rules the owners ask you to observe, but so every single hotel in the world has them (and these were made very clear before we booked and on arrival). It's a shame we only stayed 2 nights, as we could've stayed there for weeks. It was tranquil and beautiful. We were having Japanese style breakfast with a view of a stunning Japanese style garden and a pond with Koi fish. The room (apartment) we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, clean and really quiet. The ryokan is a short walk from Kyoto station, Schichijo station and in about 20 minutes you can walk to Gion. There are plenty of buses few minutes walk from Kikokuso as well. Thank you for making our stay such an amazing experience and for making us feel at home. We will definitely stay again, if we visit Japan in the future.

It was wonderful to be invited into your home and traditional way of life - thank you 🙏

Great stay - owners very nice

An absolute highlight of our Japan trip. I would highly recommend staying here. The rooms, the inn and the hosts were amazing. I’d also recommend getting breakfast for the full Japanese experience. Thank you so much for an amazing stay

We can’t say enough about how exceptional this experience was for us. The family that own and operate the ryokan were unbelievably friendly and felt so welcoming. Everything screamed traditional, from the kimonos we were given to wear during our stay, to the unique Japanese breakfast we were given every morning that was as delicious as it was healthy. If you are looking for a way to experience real japan, then look no further.

Eu amei tudo! Uma experiência incrível numa casa tradicional, a família tem a casa a varias gerações e são super atenciosos e cuidadosos. Futon, banho e comida tudo ótimo!!!

This place was freaking amazing! The owners were simply amazing, they were super attentive and always was so happy to see us. Book this if you want to stay in a traditional hotel. There is only 3 rooms here, and there is a beautiful pond in the middle of the hotel. Also, this place has been here for MANY years and through 3 generations. Book a breakfast and a dinner, and you wont be sorry. I will be back if I come back to Kyoto!

We had an amazing stay at Yadoya Kikokuso. The service provided was above and beyond and the location in Kyoko was very convenient.

My husband and I had a lovely 3-night stay. It was exactly the traditional experience I hoped to have. Breakfast was delicious -- the best miso soup I've ever had! The owners were very nice and accommodating. The wife let me practice my beginner Japanese with her and was very patient. The only downside was it was hard to get a time slot for the hot bath in the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Best place we’ve stayed in Japan, peaceful, kind and relaxing

Traditional multi-generational family home. Excellent hospitality. We stayed 3 nights here when in Tokyo. It’s very close to the major train station but not so close that you hear the trains or subway. Large and varied Japanese breakfast was served every morning and we had the opportunity to enjoy these from two different rooms. Very nice inside garden with koi pond. It was 35c outside but the air conditioner kept the room at 20c inside. Best for guests with no mobility issues and who don’t mind sharing a bathroom on the main floor.
