Ryokan Inakatei

Set in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station and a 15-minute walk from Samurai Kembu Kyoto, Ryokan Inakatei offers accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden. It is situated 1.1 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and features a housekeeping service. Heian Shrine is 2.2 km from the ryokan and Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall is 2.6 km away. The room was beautiful! It felt very special to be staying in a 200-year-old traditional Japanese home. The room is very spacious, fresh tatami mats throughout, and has a lovely view into the temple yard across the road. Our host (I wish I could remember her name!) was so gracious and helpful. The only reason we bumped the bed comfort down from "exceptional" is that we aren't used to sleeping on futons. The pillows were nice and the blankets were warm and cozy.
