Traditional Ryokan

There were many ladies we met during our stay and each was helpful and accommodating. It was a very rainy day so they let us borrow umbrellas and one of them went outside and hailed a cab for us. The sleeping arrangements are mats on the ground but it was one of my best nights of sleep of our 2 week honeymoon. Breakfast was okay. No westen options. Not my favorite and not the worst. I’d say very average but the hospitality was excellent, the area was so cute with lots of little shops and restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Traditional Japanese Experience with Lovely Staff

I stayed at Tazuru with my brother and a friend for one night in April 2017, and we had a lovely time. The three of us shared one room. This was my first experience in a traditional Japanese Ryokan, and it did not disappoint. We brought our suitcases to the ryokan a few hours early before our 3pm check-in, and they happily let us leave them in the lobby. When we returned after dinner that evening, they had already moved our bags into our room and placed our sleeping futons out, and had hot water for tea ready. There were Japanese pajamas, slippers, shampoo, soap, and everything you could need. In the morning, we had an unbelievable breakfast - it's absolutely worth including in your room. The best breakfast I had all trip. When we got back to our rooms after breakfast, the futons were put away and we had a table in the middle. The only downside to the hotel is that it's a bit older of a structure, not renovated recently. So if you're looking for a brand new building, this isn't your place. But the wonderful hospitality makes you forget that.

Awesome ryokan in the heart of Kyoto!

We stayed here for 2 nights during the cherry blossom season in Kyoto and it was a wonderful experience! This ryokan is located on a quiet street but it is within walking distance to a lot of Kyoto attractions such as Gion and Nishiki Market. There were also a lot of restaurants/options to eat nearby. Convenience stores and grocery stores were located nearby as well. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. We had free breakfast for both days and chose to have dinner at the ryokan for one night. The food served at the restaurant was extremely delicious and beautifully made!

A Bit Pricey

I'm not sure what prices should be and maybe Expedia takes too much, but I thought it was just a bit pricey @$250./ night. Drop the price make a few improvements on the facility and I could give it 5. The location is great and a view of herons on the river was worth some money I reckon. And the breakfast was extremely charming

Great Ryokan, but a bit pricey for what you get

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and she wanted a ryokan experience. We stayed 3 nights at the Ryokan Tazuru. The futons were comfortable, but we were hoping that breakfast would be included in the price. When the woman at the front desk said "no breakfast," we were a bit confused. Staff were friendly, but it would also help to have more English-speaking staff at the ryokan. During our checkout there was a woman who lost her wallet and credit cards. I felt sorry for her because the woman at the front desk smiled and said "No English." A younger staff member was eventually called to the lobby to attempt to translate. I would probably recommend staying 1 or 2 nights here if you want to ryokan experience because you can probably get "more for less" elsewhere in Kyoto.

만족스러운 숙소

주변거리도 조용하고, 그렇다고 해서 쇼핑거리나 식당가가 먼 것도 아니라 편리했습니다. 공용목욕탕에서 보이는 밤풍경과 바람 그 느낌은 잊을 수 없을 것 같습니다. 무엇보다 아침 일찍부터 짐을 맡기러 갔는데도 흔쾌히 징보관을 해주셨으며 나중에 체크인할 때 짐을 다 이미 방에 가져다 두셨다는 이야기를 듣고 서비스가 정말 좋구나를 느꼈습니다. 가족단위나 친구로 보이는 한중일 손님이 있었으며, 영어소통에도 무리가 없어 좋았습니다.

본관이 오래된 편이라 객실 컨디션이 아주 좋지는 않았지만 숙박하는데는 무리가 없었고 접객이 아주 친절함. 아침식사도 무난하고 비오는 데 탕에서 창문 열면 창 멀리까지 보여서 노천탕 느낌을 낼 수 있어 좋았음.

위치가 좋은 세미료칸

료칸에 묵고 싶은데 전통 료칸까지는 부담스러울때 타주루를 추천합니다. 우선 위치가 너무 좋구요 밤늦게 가와라마치에서 놀다가 슬슬 걸어가기 딱 좋은 위치에 타카세가와를 끼고 있어서 운치있고 지금은 벚꽃도 너무 이쁩니다. 다만 방이 굉장히 작아요. 저흰 여자 세명이 묵었는데 이불 세채 깔면 남는 자리가 없는 정도예요. 여자들끼리는 괜찮지만 몸집이 크신 남자분은 좁다고 느낄 수 있어요. 조식은 1층에 따로 식당이 있는데 카모가와를 바라보며 먹을 수 있어 굉장히 만족스럽습니다. 개인적으로 가성비 좋은 숙소였어요.
