Rakucho Ryokan
606-0824 Kyoto, Kyoto, Sakyo-ku Shimogamo Higashihangi-cho 67 , Japan – Great location - show map
The place is cozy and well maintained, with lots of personal touches that make the stay that much more comfortable. It’s family-owned and the owners provided us with very helpful and relevant information for our stay, including a map with recommendations for restaurants nearby. We felt so welcomed and at home, we are so happy with our stay and would definitely stay there again!
