Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

Absolutely loved the character and charm of the hotel, the facilities, the lounge area for breakfast/evening drinks, ease of use of the washer/dryer that was there. The hotel was in a quiet residential section of Kyoto, yet access to Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace and downtown Kyoto was very easy and within a 15 minute walk. Access to the train stations and Uber/Taxi's were equally easy. Amazing local restaurants within walking distance of the Hotel - highly recommend Daigan around the corner for an amazing sushi with an engaging/entertaining/welcoming chef.

beautiful street and location, from the street we had a great view of the Yasaka pagoda.

From our location we were a short <3 m walk away to multiple convenience stores and main road to catch taxis from.

This holiday home comes with a kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and a bathroom with a bath.

Everything! I really can't find any faults with the experience. The lodging has so much cultural significance embedded in it. The space and beds are very comfortable. The garden is beautiful and calming. My favorite parts were: 1) the autofilling bathtub 2) the nightly tea and sweet and 3) the host (Shin). We had some plans when we came into Kyoto but this being our second visit to the city, we were open to adaption. Shin gave us some great recommendations you likely won't find in your Google searches. We found the recommendations to be some of our favorite spots we went to. Everything about this stay was wonderful and I highly recommend it.

    The guesthouse is situated close to Nijo Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace, making it a good spot to explore this side of Kyoto. We had a lovely two-night stay and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Our room was cozy with a charming small garden. Kayoko-san treated us to special teas in the evening, which was a delightful surprise after a day of exploring the city.

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    I liked everything. I have been staying here once in 2019, and it was still as cozy as i remembered. The location is close to the train station, and the common room is super nice and cosy. The bunk beds are big and has privacy curtains, which i loved. I stayed during New Years and the host had arranged New Years dinner for the guests. I did not join but i though that was very kind and a nice offer for all of us travelling during the holidays.

    The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.
