A treat of history and culture

We splurge and glad we did. This was one of the highlight of our trip to Japan. We could have booked a cheaper place but wanted the real deal.... and we were not disappointed. The architecture was authentically exquisite, the service like no other place in the world (we have been most everywhere), the food 1st class, and the bath a real joy. We were so happy. Our memories of this place will last a lifetime.

The real McCoy

Seikoro Ryokan is truly unique. After 23 business trips to Japan over the last decade, I finally took a vacation trip with my wife to see what I had missed. We decided inKyoto to stay at a traditional Ryokan as opposed to the normally outstanding Japanese major hotels. We made the right decision. This was an ethereal 3 days in every way, room was awesome, the breakfasts and one Kaiseki dinner was sublime and service was over the top. This was as an authentic experience as can be had. It was absolutely worth taking my shoes off every time we walked in.

Best hospitality

The hospitality here was on another level, staff was so sweet and lovely. Anytime we came in or out of the ryokan, they would help us take out/put away our shoes. And when we left, the staff walked us out and waited until we were out of sight to go back in! I would def come back for a longer stay next time

This was definitely an unique cultural experience. I highly recommend it. We were immediately greeted by the nicest and most considerate staff. Our room was spacious and the private bath suite was key. We also had the Japanese set breakfast meticulously served in our room. Overall an excellent stay.

The service at Seikoro Ryokan was outstanding and I couldn’t be more pleased with their hospitality. They were so welcoming and offered local recommendations for us to explore. They even assisted with making a local dinner reservation. The included breakfast was amazing and everyone was so friendly. I’m so glad I chose for our family of 4 to stay at Seikoro instead of a hotel in Kyoto.

We stayed here for 5 days. The staff were amazing and so friendly. We enjoyed the breakfasts each morning. The rooms were quiet and very comfortable. The public bath was clean and was not busy during our stay. The area was close to a train station which was helpful in getting around Kyoto. The real highlight was how attentive the staff were to our needs and how kind they all were. We loved the uniqueness of the property and were very glad we stayed.
